Hot spots on your floor, the sound of running water under your foundation, or cracks appearing in your walls point to leaks beneath your concrete slab. These leaks damage your foundation and worsen quickly without intervention.
Roger's Plumbing locates leaks under your foundation and repairs them without ever cutting into your concrete. Your floors stay intact and your foundation stays protected. Schedule online or call us today.
Austin's expansive clay soil shifts with wet and dry cycles, stressing pipes beneath your foundation until they fail. Slab leaks can develop in pressurized water lines or drain lines - both damage your foundation, but each requires a different repair approach.
Once leaks start, water erodes soil supporting your home. Foundation damage compounds quickly as cracks appear in walls, doors stick, and gaps open at ceilings.
Finding slab leaks requires specialized detection equipment and plumbers who understand foundation risks. You need accurate leak location without unnecessary demolition, fast response before damage worsens, and honest recommendations about repairs. Roger's Plumbing provides non-invasive detection and foundation-safe repair solutions that never require breaking through your slab.
That's exactly what Roger's Plumbing delivers:

Leaks under your foundation erode soil, cause uneven settling, and turn plumbing problems into foundation disasters. Quick detection and repair protects your home from damage that compounds daily.
Water from slab leaks saturates the compacted soil beneath your home. That soil loses load-bearing capacity, erodes, or becomes unstable. Your foundation settles unevenly - cracks form, gaps appear between walls and ceilings, and structural movement spreads throughout your home. Finding leaks early stops water intrusion while your foundation remains stable.
Slab leaks run continuously, wasting hundreds of gallons daily. Your water bills skyrocket while you're paying for water that's undermining your foundation. Detection and repair stops the waste and pays for itself within months.
Water wicks up through concrete, into walls, and behind baseboards - perfect conditions for mold growth. Professional detection and prompt repair stops moisture intrusion before mold takes hold.
Foundation problems devastate property values and trigger disclosure requirements that affect future sales. Early detection prevents the damage that tanks marketability.
We repair slab leaks without cutting into your foundation. For water line leaks, we locate both ends of the damaged pipe and reroute new lines overhead or through walls - the failed section stays buried while new piping bypasses it entirely. For drain line leaks, we use tunneling beneath your foundation or cured-in-place pipe lining to restore function without excavation. Your floors stay intact and your foundation stays protected.
Our area's geology creates conditions that stress under-slab pipes more than most other regions. Understanding why these leaks occur helps you recognize when detection becomes necessary and why preventative inspection matters for homes in our area.
Expansive Clay Soil Movement - Leander and our service area across Greater Austin sits on clay soil that swells dramatically when wet and shrinks when dry. This constant expansion and contraction shifts your foundation and flexes rigid pipes beneath it until joints separate or copper develops stress cracks.
Hard Water Corrosion - Central Texas water contains high mineral content that corrodes copper pipes from the inside. Decades of mineral-laden water flowing under pressure eats through pipe walls, creating pinhole leaks that grow larger over time.
Poor Initial Installation - Pipes installed without adequate padding or support rest directly against rough concrete or gravel. Years of minor foundation movement cause abrasion that wears through pipe walls at contact points.
Age and Material Failure - Older homes often have original copper pipes beneath foundations that are reaching 40+ years old. Copper pipes have finite lifespans, and age-related failures accelerate as pipes approach the end of their expected service life.
Tree Root Intrusion - Large trees near your foundation send roots seeking moisture. These roots can damage pipes or create pressure points that contribute to leaks developing in already-stressed under-slab lines.
Your home's foundation and under-slab plumbing benefit from regular monitoring that identifies developing problems early. Our Jolly Roger That! Club provides priority service and preventative inspection protecting your foundation from slab leak damage.

Call Roger's Plumbing today for slab leak detection in Leander and the Greater Austin area.
Hot spots on your floor indicate hot water lines leaking beneath the slab. You might hear water running when all faucets are off.
Foundation cracks, walls pulling away from ceilings, or doors suddenly sticking point to foundation movement from soil saturation. Unexplained increases in water bills, pressure drops throughout your home, damp carpets near exterior walls, or mold odors all suggest leaks beneath your foundation.
Expansive clay soil common throughout Leander and Austin swells when wet and shrinks during dry periods. This constant movement stresses pipes beneath your foundation until joints separate or copper develops cracks.
Hard water corrodes copper pipes from the inside over decades. Pipes installed without adequate padding rub against concrete as foundations settle. Older homes face higher risk as original plumbing ages beyond expected lifespan in our challenging soil conditions.
We use electronic leak detectors, acoustic listening devices, and thermal imaging cameras to locate leaks without breaking up flooring. We pressure test lines beneath your foundation to isolate leaking sections. Combining these methods pinpoints the exact location so repairs target only the affected area - no exploratory demolition.
Pricing depends on your home's size, foundation complexity, and leak location difficulty. Roger's Plumbing provides upfront pricing before beginning detection work. Detection costs pay for themselves through eliminated water waste and prevented foundation damage that compounds when leaks continue unaddressed.
Yes. Roger's Plumbing never cuts into your concrete foundation for slab leak repairs. For water line leaks, we locate both ends of the damaged pipe and reroute new lines overhead or through walls - the failed section stays buried while new piping bypasses it entirely. For drain line leaks, we use tunneling beneath your foundation or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining to restore function without excavation. Your floors stay intact and your foundation stays protected.
Water line reroutes through walls or overhead typically complete in one day. Drain line repairs vary - CIPP lining often restores function the same day, while tunneling projects typically take two to four days depending on access and extent of damage. Roger's Plumbing provides realistic timelines during repair planning.
Coverage varies by policy. Many policies cover water damage resulting from sudden leaks but exclude the cost of repairs themselves. Insurance rarely covers leaks from gradual deterioration or corrosion. Review your specific policy and contact your insurance company when you suspect a slab leak. Roger's Plumbing provides detailed documentation of leak location, cause, and damage assessment for insurance claims.
Absolutely - especially for homes built before 1990 with original plumbing. Older Austin homes often have copper pipes reaching the end of their lifespan, and our expansive soil accelerates failures. Pre-purchase detection identifies existing leaks or at-risk plumbing before you commit, affecting your purchase decision and negotiating position.
