Leak Detection
in Fate, TX
Water leaking behind a wall or under a floor can cause structural damage for months before you notice it. Elite Home Services locates hidden leaks across Rockwall — behind walls, under floors, and in slabs — precisely, before opening more than necessary.
Services We Provide
Wall & Ceiling Leaks
Leaks hidden behind tile, drywall, and inside wall cavities located before opening surfaces.
Slab Leaks
Leaks in pipes running beneath concrete slabs found with acoustic and pressure detection.
Bathroom Leaks
Shower valves, tub drains, and supply connections leaking behind tile or into subfloors.
Underground Line Leaks
Supply and sewer lines running under or outside the home located without excavation.
High Water Bill Investigation
Unexplained water usage traced to a specific leak — confirmed before any repair work begins.
Post-Repair Verification
Pressure testing after a repair to confirm the fix is complete and no secondary leaks remain.
Signs You Need Help
Water bill has spiked without explanation — A hidden leak running continuously adds up fast.
Damp spots on walls or ceilings — Water traveling from a source that isn’t directly above the stain.
Musty smell in a room or cabinet — Slow leak creating conditions for mold behind surfaces.
Soft or warped flooring — Water under the floor from a slab or supply line leak.
Sound of running water when nothing is on — Water meter spinning with all fixtures closed.
Foundation cracks appearing near plumbing — Slab leak eroding soil and shifting the foundation.
Our Process
Test & Listen
We use pressure testing and acoustic equipment to isolate the leak’s location precisely.
Confirm & Mark
We confirm the source before recommending any access cut or excavation.
Repair
We make the targeted repair and test to confirm the leak is resolved and no secondary issues remain.
Important Details
Locate Before Opening
We don’t open walls based on guesses. Acoustic listening and pressure testing pinpoint the source so the smallest possible access is needed — saving time, money, and finished surfaces.
Slab Leaks Are Urgent
A leak under the slab erodes soil, cracks foundations, and promotes mold inside walls. Once you notice the signs — soft floors, warm spots, high water bills — act quickly. Slab leaks don’t resolve on their own.
High Water Bills Are a Clue
If your water bill climbs without a usage change, there’s a leak somewhere. We can confirm it with a pressure test and find it before you’ve been paying for wasted water for months.
Rockwall Soil Movement
The clay soil common in Rockwall shifts significantly with rain and drought cycles. This movement stresses underground and slab pipes, and is one of the main reasons we see slab and supply line leaks in this area.

Call and describe what you’re noticing — same-day appointments may be available.

What Rockwall Homeowners Say
“Water bill jumped $80 with no obvious reason. Elite found a slab leak under the master bath, located it precisely, and repaired it without destroying the floor. Exactly the kind of careful work you need for this.”
“Musty smell in a bedroom wall for weeks. Elite used acoustic equipment, found a pinhole leak in a supply line behind the drywall, and fixed it with one small access cut. Impressed.”
