Slab Leak Repair
in Fate, TX
A leak beneath your concrete slab silently erodes soil, cracks foundations, and drives up your water bill — often for months before visible signs appear. Elite Home Services locates and repairs slab leaks across Rockwall precisely, opening only what is necessary.
Services We Provide
Acoustic Detection
Listening equipment locates the leak precisely through the slab without guesswork.
Pressure Testing
Supply line pressure test confirms a slab leak is present before any surface is opened.
Targeted Slab Access
Minimum access cut made directly over the confirmed leak location.
Pipe Rerouting
Supply line rerouted through walls instead of slab — avoids cutting concrete entirely.
Pipe Repair at Leak Point
Section repaired or replaced at the leak and pressure tested before closing.
Post-Repair Verification
Full pressure test after repair confirms the slab is leak-free.
Signs You Need Help
Warm or hot spot on the floor — Hot water line leaking beneath the slab.
Sound of running water when nothing is on — Water meter spinning with all fixtures closed.
Unexplained spike in water bill — Continuous water loss from a hidden supply line.
Soft, damp, or warped flooring — Water migrating upward through the slab.
Mold or mildew near baseboards — Moisture from below wicking up through walls.
Foundation cracks appearing or widening — Slab leak eroding soil and creating voids underneath.

Important Details
Locate Before Opening
We confirm the leak location before cutting or excavating anything. An accurate location means a small access cut — not a trench across your floor.
Rerouting vs. Direct Access
When a slab leak is under tile or near the room center, rerouting the supply line through the walls is often faster and less expensive than cutting concrete.
Rockwall Clay Soil Movement
Expansive clay in Rockwall shrinks and swells with rain and drought cycles, stressing slab pipes over time. This is the main reason slab leaks are more common here than in stable-soil areas.
Insurance Documentation
Many homeowner policies cover water damage from slab leaks but not the pipe repair. We provide documentation of the leak location and repair for your insurance claim.
