About Our Leak Detection Services in Georgetown

Georgetown's housing stock is genuinely diverse, and so are its leak detection challenges. Older homes near the historic downtown can have aging galvanized or cast iron pipes that corrode quietly for years before showing obvious signs. Meanwhile, the rapid new construction across developments like Wolf Ranch and Morningstar means freshly poured slabs and newly installed supply lines that can still develop issues from settling soils, improper installation, or shifting ground. In both cases, leaks often go undetected until water bills climb or visible damage appears — and by then, the repair bill is significantly higher than it needed to be.

Our licensed plumbers use specialized equipment including acoustic listening devices, pressure testing, and thermal imaging to locate leaks with precision and minimal disruption to your property. We explain exactly what we find, walk you through your repair options, and give you clear upfront pricing before any work begins. There are no surprises, no guesswork, and no unnecessary excavation. Just accurate answers and honest work from a team that understands Georgetown homes.

Leak Detection Services We Provide in Georgetown

Slab Leak Detection

Georgetown's expansive clay soils shift with the seasons, and that movement puts real stress on the pipes running beneath your foundation. Slab leaks can go unnoticed for months while quietly eroding your foundation, warping floors, and spiking your water bill. Our licensed plumbers use non-invasive acoustic and pressure testing methods to locate slab leaks precisely so repairs can be made with minimal disruption.

Underground Pipe Leak Detection

Leaks in underground supply or sewer lines often show up as soggy patches in your yard, unexplained low water pressure, or wet spots along your driveway. In Georgetown's newer subdivisions, underground lines are sometimes damaged during secondary grading or landscaping work after construction. We use specialized detection equipment to locate the break without unnecessary digging so you get accurate answers fast.

Learn More

Water Line Leak Detection

A slow leak in your main water line can go undetected for weeks, quietly wasting thousands of gallons and driving up your utility bill. Georgetown homeowners in both older neighborhoods and newer developments can experience water line issues due to aging pipe materials, soil movement, or root intrusion. We trace the line from meter to home and identify exactly where the problem is before recommending the most cost-effective repair path.

Learn More

Bathroom and Kitchen Leak Detection

Leaks behind walls, under sinks, and beneath tile floors in bathrooms and kitchens are among the most common sources of hidden water damage in Georgetown homes. In older homes near the historic district, worn supply connections and deteriorating drain lines are frequent culprits. We use moisture detection and pressure testing to find the source without tearing into walls unnecessarily, then give you clear repair options on the spot.

Learn More

Whole House Leak Inspection

If your water bill has climbed without explanation or you just want peace of mind in a home you recently purchased, a whole house leak inspection covers every major plumbing system from the main supply line to individual fixtures. This is especially valuable for buyers of older Georgetown homes where deferred maintenance may have created multiple small leaks across the system. We document everything we find and prioritize repairs based on urgency.

Learn More

Foundation and Slab Moisture Testing

Georgetown's clay-heavy soils expand and contract significantly between wet winters and dry summers, which can create conditions that accelerate leaks under and around your foundation. If you're noticing cracks in tile grout, warped hardwood floors, or musty smells in lower-level rooms, moisture under the slab may be the cause. We test for slab moisture intrusion and help you understand whether the source is a plumbing leak or drainage-related before recommending next steps.

Emergency Leak Detection

Some leaks can't wait for a scheduled appointment. If you're hearing running water with everything turned off, notice a sudden drop in water pressure, or see water pooling in unexpected places, our emergency leak detection service gets a licensed plumber to your Georgetown home quickly. We serve the historic district, Sun City, Wolf Ranch, and all points in between around the clock.

Learn More

Irrigation and Sprinkler Leak Detection

Georgetown's large lots and HOA-maintained landscaping in master-planned communities mean irrigation systems are common — and a leaking irrigation line can waste enormous amounts of water before anyone notices. We detect leaks in sprinkler supply lines, valve boxes, and lateral lines so you're not paying for water that never reaches your lawn. This service is especially useful heading into Georgetown's dry summer months when irrigation systems run frequently.

Learn More

Pipe Leak Detection Behind Walls

Supply lines and drain connections running inside walls are prone to developing slow leaks that go unnoticed until mold growth or drywall staining appears. In Georgetown's older homes, this is often tied to aging galvanized pipe that has corroded from the inside out. We use thermal imaging and moisture meters to locate the leak with precision, avoiding unnecessary wall damage and reducing repair costs significantly.

Learn More

Pool and Spa Leak Detection

Many Georgetown properties, particularly in newer master-planned communities and larger Sun City lots, include pools and spas that require their own plumbing systems. A pool leak can quietly drain thousands of gallons per week while looking like normal evaporation. We use pressure testing and dye testing to identify whether water loss is due to a plumbing leak, shell crack, or equipment issue so repairs can be targeted and cost-effective.

Learn More

Post-Construction Leak Inspection

Georgetown's rapid new construction pace means homes are sometimes completed quickly and not every connection is perfect at the time of closing. A post-construction leak inspection is a smart investment for new Georgetown homeowners, catching any deficiencies in supply lines, drain connections, or fixture installations before they cause water damage inside your new home. We work through the full system and give you a clear report of anything that needs attention.

We Know Georgetown Homes

Georgetown's growth from a quiet historic town into one of Texas's fastest-growing cities means we work on homes that span more than a century of construction. In the neighborhoods surrounding the historic Square, we regularly encounter galvanized steel and cast iron pipes that have been quietly corroding for decades, often with no visible symptoms until a section fails or water pressure drops sharply. Knowing what to look for in those older systems — and where the common failure points are — saves Georgetown homeowners time and money because we're not learning on the job.

On the other side of town, Georgetown's newer master-planned communities present a different set of challenges. Rapid construction schedules, expansive clay soils, and freshly graded lots can create conditions where slab movement happens sooner than expected and supply line connections are stressed before the home is even a few years old. We've worked throughout these communities long enough to recognize the patterns, and that familiarity means we find the problem faster and recommend repairs that actually hold up over the long term. When you call Cold is on the Right, you're getting a team that knows this city's plumbing the way a local should.

Graysen and Andrew from Cold is on the Right came out just a couple hours after I called and took care of cutting out my kitchen faucet. They were professional, friendly, and clearly knowledgeable, explaining everything in a straightforward way without any upselling or confusion. It was refreshing to get honest answers and excellent service so quickly. I’ll definitely be using them again for future plumbing needs.

We contacted Cold is on the Right today with an urgent plumbing need. Their very professional and organized crew arrived within 30 minutes and fixed our issue. We called five other plumbing companies before them and no one was able to help us. Cold is on the Right will now be the first plumbers we call.

Services: Drain cleaning

We called due to slow drainage and apparently main line backing up into master bathroom shower and sink. There is an automated line that takes your information and apparently works very well. Plumbers Billy and Jeremy showed up promptly after we were informed they were being dispatched this morning, they stayed and worked until the problem was solved and advised on possible future repairs that would need to be done. They were professional, smart, respectful of our home, and efficient in their actions. Let us know what things would cost and were honest in their assessment of what would be needed next and how (un) likely our homeowners insurance would be able to help.  I appreciate the service and the fair treatment by these gentlemen. Thank you.

Santiago and Kyle were amazing during our total HVAC system replacement. Kind, informative, knowledgeable and careful to ensure a smooth install. They were efficient and got my AC working before my family arrived for spring break. Now enjoying the cool air with family. Great pricing and quick turn around from quote to finished job. Thank you! 10/10 would recommend them to anyone needing HVCA or plumbing work.

These guys are prompt and very polite, and explain your options well without trying to upsell. We thought we needed three things replaced, but they showed us that one of the three just needed an adjustment rather than a replacement. Wonderful service!

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does leak detection cost in Georgetown, TX?
Leak detection pricing in Georgetown typically depends on the type of leak, where it's located, and what equipment is needed to find it. A standard leak inspection for a specific area of concern often runs in the range of $150 to $300, while a whole house inspection or slab leak detection that requires more specialized equipment can cost more. We always provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect. There are no hidden fees added after the fact.
How do I know if I have a slab leak in my Georgetown home?
The most common signs of a slab leak include a water bill that has increased significantly without explanation, warm or wet spots on your floor, the sound of running water when every fixture is off, and cracks appearing in tile grout or your foundation. Georgetown's expansive clay soils shift considerably between seasons, which puts consistent stress on the pipes running beneath your slab and makes slab leaks more common here than in areas with more stable soil conditions. If you're noticing any of these warning signs, getting a professional inspection done quickly is the right move because slab leaks can cause serious foundation damage if left unaddressed.
Can you detect leaks without tearing up my floors or walls?
Yes, in most cases we can locate leaks without any destructive investigation. We use acoustic listening devices that detect the sound of water escaping a pressurized pipe, thermal imaging cameras that identify temperature differences caused by moisture, and pressure testing methods that help isolate which section of your system is losing water. These non-invasive methods are accurate enough that when we do need to open a wall or floor to make the repair, we know exactly where to go and keep the access point as small as possible.
My water bill went up but I can't find any visible leak. What should I do?
An unexplained increase in your water bill is one of the most reliable indicators of a hidden leak somewhere in your plumbing system. Start by checking whether your toilets are running continuously and whether your outdoor irrigation system has any obvious wet spots. If those check out fine, the leak is likely in an underground supply line, behind a wall, or under your slab where it's not visible. A leak detection inspection is the most efficient way to find the source because trying to locate a hidden leak by process of elimination on your own can take a long time and may miss the actual problem entirely.
How long does a leak detection appointment take?
A focused leak detection appointment for a specific area of concern, like a suspected bathroom leak or a section of underground pipe, typically takes one to two hours. A whole house inspection covering the full supply system, drain lines, and slab area can take two to four hours depending on the size of your home. Georgetown's newer master-planned homes with larger square footage may take a bit longer than a smaller historic home near the Square. We work efficiently and keep you informed throughout the process so you're never left wondering what's happening or how much longer it will take.
Do older Georgetown homes near the historic district have more leak problems?
Older homes in Georgetown's historic neighborhoods do tend to have a higher rate of leak-related issues, primarily because of the pipe materials that were common when those homes were built. Galvanized steel pipes, which were standard in homes built before the 1970s, corrode from the inside out over time and eventually develop pinhole leaks or fail at joints. Cast iron drain lines can crack or separate as they age and the surrounding soil shifts. These issues don't always show up as dramatic visible leaks right away, which is why older Georgetown homes benefit from periodic plumbing inspections. Catching a deteriorating galvanized system early and repiping before failures occur is significantly less expensive than dealing with multiple leaks and the water damage they cause.
