About Our Slab Leak Detection in Leander

Leander's explosive growth means the majority of homes here were built in the last decade or so, and many homeowners are first-timers who haven't dealt with a slab leak before. That unfamiliarity can lead to delayed action — and a small leak left undetected under a concrete slab can quietly cause major structural damage, mold growth, and sky-high water bills. Our licensed plumbers use electronic listening devices and thermal imaging to locate leaks precisely, without tearing up your floors unnecessarily.

We understand the local soil conditions north of Austin, where expansive clay can shift and stress underground pipes over time. Whether you're in a newer subdivision off 183A or an established neighborhood closer to downtown Leander, Cold is on the Right Plumbing & Air has the tools and experience to protect your home. We give you straight answers, upfront pricing, and a clear repair plan — no runaround, no surprises.

Slab Leak Detection Services We Provide in Leander

Electronic Leak Detection

We use sensitive acoustic listening equipment to detect the sound of water escaping beneath your slab. This non-destructive method lets us pinpoint the exact location of a leak without guesswork, saving Leander homeowners time and unnecessary concrete removal.

Learn More

Thermal Imaging Inspection

Infrared cameras allow us to identify temperature variations in your floors caused by warm or cool water leaking beneath the slab. This is especially useful in Leander homes with tile or hardwood floors where visual signs may not yet be visible.

Learn More

Pressure Testing

We isolate your plumbing lines and run pressure tests to confirm whether a leak exists and how severe it is. For first-time homeowners in Leander, this step gives clear, objective evidence so you know exactly what you're dealing with before any repair work begins.

Slab Leak Repair

Once we've located the leak, we repair it using the least invasive method appropriate for your home — whether that's direct access, pipe rerouting, or epoxy pipe lining. We explain every option and every cost before we start so there are no surprises on your bill.

Learn More

Pipe Rerouting

In cases where the damaged pipe runs through a difficult section of the slab, rerouting the line through the walls or attic can be the smartest long-term fix. This avoids major concrete demolition and is often the most cost-effective solution for newer Leander homes with accessible wall cavities.

Learn More

Whole House Repiping

If your home has widespread pipe corrosion or recurring leaks, a full repipe may be the most reliable fix. Cold is on the Right Plumbing & Air can replace your entire water supply system with durable PEX or copper piping, giving your Leander home a fresh, dependable start.

Learn More

Water Meter Monitoring

We help homeowners read their water meters to identify unusual consumption patterns that signal an active slab leak. This simple diagnostic step is often the first thing we walk Leander homeowners through when they call us suspecting a problem.

Learn More

Foundation Damage Assessment Coordination

A slab leak left unchecked can undermine your home's foundation. We work alongside structural professionals and can help coordinate the full assessment process so Leander homeowners have a complete picture of what needs to be addressed after a leak is found.

Learn More

Emergency Slab Leak Response

A slab leak that suddenly worsens can flood your home's interior and cause serious structural harm within hours. Cold is on the Right Plumbing & Air offers emergency service to Leander homeowners who need immediate help — we'll get to you fast and stop the damage from spreading.

Learn More

Post-Repair Leak Verification

After any slab leak repair, we re-test your system to confirm the fix is complete and no secondary leaks were missed. This final verification step gives Leander homeowners peace of mind before we close out the job.

Learn More

Preventive Plumbing Inspections

Catching small issues before they become slab leaks is always the better outcome. Our preventive inspections are a smart investment for Leander families who want to stay ahead of plumbing problems rather than react to them after damage is done.

We Know Leander Homes

Most of the homes we visit in Leander were built within the last ten to fifteen years, and the majority sit on post-tension concrete slabs — a construction method that's efficient but can make slab leak repairs more complex if you don't know what you're working with. The expansive clay soils throughout this part of Williamson County shift with rainfall and drought cycles, and that ground movement puts real stress on the copper and PEX lines running beneath your home. We know what that stress looks like in a plumbing system, and we know which pipe configurations show up most often in the subdivisions along Ronald Reagan Boulevard, Crystal Falls, and Travisso.

Leander is also full of young families who bought their homes new and assume that means the plumbing is problem-free — but we see installation issues, pressure irregularities, and early corrosion in homes that are only a few years old. Our technicians have worked in enough Leander neighborhoods to recognize the patterns quickly, which means faster diagnoses and fewer holes in your floor. When you call Cold is on the Right Plumbing & Air, you're getting a team that already understands the ground your home is built on.

High Fives from Austin Homeowners

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 do I know if I have a slab leak in my Leander home?
The most common signs include an unexplained spike in your water bill, the sound of running water when nothing is on, warm spots on your floor, or visible cracks forming in your walls or flooring. Leander's clay-heavy soil can cause foundation movement that looks similar to a slab leak, so it's worth having a professional confirm the cause. A quick meter test can help narrow it down: shut off every water source in your home and watch whether the meter dial continues to move. If it does, there's likely an active leak somewhere in your supply lines. Getting it confirmed early limits the damage significantly.
How much does slab leak detection and repair cost in Leander?
Detection alone typically runs between $150 and $400 depending on the complexity of the inspection and how accessible your lines are. Repair costs vary widely based on the method used: a targeted spot repair through the slab might run $500 to $1,500, while a pipe reroute — which avoids major concrete work — can range from $1,000 to $3,000 or more. Full repiping is a larger investment but may be the right call if your home has multiple problem areas. We always provide upfront pricing before any work starts so you can make an informed decision.
Can a new construction home in Leander really have a slab leak?
Yes, and it happens more often than most new homeowners expect. Installation errors, pressure fluctuations during the break-in period, and soil movement as the ground around a new build settles can all stress plumbing lines in homes that are only a few years old. Leander's expansive clay soil is particularly active during dry spells and heavy rain cycles, and that ground movement puts real stress on pipes embedded in the slab. New homes also typically have post-tension slabs, which require extra care during any repair work. Don't assume age equals immunity — early detection is still the best protection.
How long does slab leak detection take?
Most slab leak detection visits take between one and three hours from start to finish, depending on the size of your home and how quickly we can isolate the affected line. We use electronic acoustic equipment and thermal imaging to narrow things down precisely, so we're not spending time guessing or checking areas that don't need it. Once the leak is located, we mark the spot and walk you through the findings before discussing repair options. If the situation is straightforward, we can often begin repairs the same day.
Will you have to break up my floors to find and fix the slab leak?
Not necessarily. Our detection process is entirely non-invasive — we locate the leak without any demolition. When it comes to the actual repair, the approach depends on where the leak is and what pipe configuration your home has. In many cases, especially in newer Leander homes with accessible wall and attic space, we can reroute the damaged line entirely above the slab and avoid breaking concrete altogether. When direct slab access is required, we target only the precise location of the leak rather than making broad cuts through your flooring.
Is a slab leak covered by homeowners insurance in Texas?
It depends on your policy. In Texas, many homeowners insurance policies cover the cost of accessing the leak — meaning the demolition and restoration work — but not always the pipe repair itself. Some policies cover resulting water damage to flooring or drywall, while others exclude it. It is worth reviewing your policy and calling your insurer as soon as you suspect a slab leak, because delays in reporting can sometimes affect coverage. We can provide detailed documentation of our findings to support your claim if needed.
