A slab leak is a leak in the foundation or slab of your home. These leaks can be leaks in the water lines or the drainpipes that run throughout the slab. Repairing slab leaks is not a job to be undertaken as a DIY project. You’ll need the expertise of a licensed plumber with the experience to quickly locate and eliminate the leak.

Homes in the Texas Hill Country experience frequent slab leaks due to the mineral content of the water, to the soil composition that results in shifts in the foundation, and to chemicals in the foundations when pipes aren’t properly wrapped.
There are two types of slab leaks: water line slab leaks and drain line slab leaks. Each type has a basic procedure for repair.
Water line slab leaks are usually repaired by replacing the water lines with PEX tubing. This tubing can usually be run through the walls, ceiling, and cabinets of the home resulting in minimal cosmetic damage in the home. Small cuts in the sheetrock are usually all that is needed to reattach the new tubing to the appliance and fixture shutoff valves.
Drain line slab leaks generally need to be exposed in the slab and replaced with new pipes that are set at the correct slant for the flow of wastewater away from the home. Even in the process of re-piping the drain lines in the home, our Jilly plumbers strive for the least invasive methods to replace the pipes.
We know the idea of re-piping your home can feel over whelming, so we strive to make the process straight-forward. Here’s what you can expect:
