Slab Leak Detection in Pflugerville, TX
Protecting Pflugerville Homes From the Ground Up
Pflugerville is full of solid, well-built homes from the 1990s and 2000s — but those aging copper and galvanized pipes under the slab don't last forever. A slab leak can quietly damage your foundation, spike your water bill, and grow into a major repair before you ever notice a wet spot on the floor. Cold is on the Right uses non-invasive leak detection technology to pinpoint exactly where the problem is, so you're not paying to tear up concrete looking for it.

About Our Slab Leak Detection in Pflugerville
Pflugerville's housing boom in the late 1990s and early 2000s produced thousands of homes built quickly to meet demand — and many of those homes used copper supply lines running beneath concrete slab foundations. After 20-plus years, those pipes are showing their age. Corrosion, shifting soil, and the natural expansion and contraction that comes with Central Texas heat cycles can all cause pinhole leaks or full pipe failures under the slab. Cold is on the Right has worked in Pflugerville neighborhoods long enough to know exactly what these homes are dealing with.
Our detection process uses electronic listening equipment and pressure testing to locate the source of a slab leak without guesswork. We believe in giving Pflugerville homeowners a straight answer: here's where the leak is, here's what it will cost to fix, and here are your options. No inflated diagnostics, no unnecessary demolition. We know value matters to Pflugerville families, and we treat your home and your budget with the same care.

Slab Leak Detection Services We Provide in Pflugerville
Electronic Leak Detection
Using sensitive acoustic listening equipment, we trace the sound of water escaping through pipe walls beneath your slab. This method lets us pinpoint the leak location without breaking concrete until we know exactly where to go. It's the most cost-effective way to start a slab leak investigation in Pflugerville homes.
Learn MorePressure Testing
We isolate your water lines and test them under controlled pressure to confirm whether a leak exists and to help narrow down which section of pipe is compromised. For Pflugerville homes with aging copper plumbing, pressure testing is often the first step toward understanding the full scope of the problem. It gives us — and you — a clear picture before any repairs begin.
Thermal Imaging
Infrared cameras detect temperature differences in your slab and flooring caused by water seeping from a broken pipe below. This non-invasive method is especially useful in finished areas where you can't easily see or feel the damage. We use it to confirm leak locations and document findings for your records or insurance claim.
Slab Leak Repair
Once the leak is found, we lay out your repair options clearly: targeted slab access and pipe repair, pipe rerouting through walls or ceiling, or full repiping if the system warrants it. For many Pflugerville homes built in the late 1990s, a spot repair buys time — but we'll tell you honestly when a bigger fix makes more sense long-term.
Learn MoreWhole House Repiping
If your Pflugerville home has aging copper pipes throughout, finding one slab leak may signal that more are on the way. We offer full whole-house repiping using modern PEX tubing, which is far more resistant to corrosion and movement than older copper or galvanized systems. This is often the smartest investment for homes approaching 25-plus years old.
Learn MoreEmergency Slab Leak Response
When a slab leak is causing visible water damage, flooding, or a dramatic spike in water pressure loss, it becomes an emergency. We offer urgent response for Pflugerville homeowners who can't wait for a scheduled appointment. Call us and we'll get someone to your home as quickly as possible to stop the damage from escalating.
Learn MoreUnder-Slab Pipe Rerouting
In some cases, the most practical solution isn't repairing the damaged pipe underground — it's bypassing it entirely by running new lines through your walls, attic, or garage. This avoids the cost and mess of major concrete demolition and is often the right call for Pflugerville homes where the damaged section is in a difficult location under the slab.
Water Meter and Usage Analysis
An unexplained jump in your Pflugerville utility bill is one of the most common early indicators of a slab leak. We walk through a water usage analysis with you to establish a baseline and help determine whether a leak under the foundation is responsible. It's a straightforward step that can save you months of overpaying before the real problem is identified.
Post-Repair Leak Verification
After any slab leak repair, we perform a final verification test to confirm the fix is holding and no additional leaks were missed. This step is especially important in older Pflugerville homes where one failing pipe can indicate that nearby sections are also under stress. You shouldn't have to wonder if the job was done right — we verify it before we leave.
Foundation Damage Assessment Coordination
Slab leaks that have gone undetected for weeks or months can affect your home's foundation. While we focus on the plumbing side, we can help coordinate with structural professionals if we see signs that the leak has caused settling or movement. Pflugerville homeowners dealing with ongoing slab issues benefit from having a plumber who understands the bigger picture.
Insurance Documentation Support
Many Pflugerville homeowners find that their homeowner's insurance covers part of a slab leak repair — but only with proper documentation of the leak's location, cause, and scope. We provide written findings and can walk you through what information your insurer will typically need. Getting the documentation right from the start can make a real difference in what gets covered.

We Know Pflugerville Homes
Pflugerville has a lot of homes that were built in a similar window — that late 1990s to mid-2000s construction era — and those houses share a lot of the same plumbing characteristics. Copper supply lines under the slab were standard practice at the time, and after two-plus decades of Central Texas soil movement, heat cycles, and hard water running through those pipes, we see predictable failure patterns. When we walk into a Pflugerville home and a homeowner describes their symptoms, we've usually seen that exact situation before.
The hard water in this part of the Austin metro accelerates corrosion inside copper pipes, which speeds up the timeline on pinhole leaks and joint failures. Newer developments on the eastern edges of Pflugerville bring their own considerations too — builder-grade plumbing in fast-built subdivisions doesn't always age as gracefully as the marketing suggests. Whether the home is from 1998 or 2018, Cold is on the Right comes prepared to assess what's actually going on and give you a clear path forward.

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.
Services: Faucet repair
Price assessment: Reasonable price
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!
