Frequently Asked Questions
Why are slab leaks so common in Waco and McLennan County?
Central Texas expansive clay soils swell when wet and contract during heatwaves. This soil shifting shifts concrete slabs and rubs underground copper pipes against rocks until tiny pinholes erupt.
Is overhead rerouting better than breaking the slab?
In 80% of cases, rerouting new PEX piping through walls or attic space is cleaner, faster, less disruptive, and eliminates future leaks under that floor area permanently.
Does home insurance cover slab leak repairs in Texas?
Most Texas homeowner insurance policies cover the tear-out and restoration of water damage caused by a slab leak, though the pipe repair itself depends on your policy endorsements.
