About Our Slab Leak Detection in Round Rock
Round Rock's housing stock spans nearly four decades, and the plumbing challenges vary significantly depending on when your home was built. Homes from the 1980s and 1990s — particularly in neighborhoods like Brushy Creek, Turtle Creek, and Round Rock West — are increasingly showing their age in the form of corroding copper supply lines and shifting foundations. As the soil in this part of Williamson County expands and contracts with seasonal rain and drought cycles, the stress on under-slab pipes builds up over time. A slow slab leak might go undetected for months, quietly undermining your foundation while running up your water bill.
Cold is on the Right has been locating and resolving slab leaks for Round Rock homeowners who want the problem solved correctly the first time. We don't guess, and we don't recommend unnecessary work. Using electronic leak detection and acoustic listening equipment, we can trace a leak to within inches of its source — which means less concrete work, less disruption to your home, and a faster repair. We're local, licensed, and familiar with the specific plumbing configurations common in Round Rock construction.

Slab Leak Detection Services We Provide in Round Rock
Electronic Slab Leak Detection
We use advanced electronic amplification equipment to listen for the sound of pressurized water escaping beneath your slab. This method is highly accurate and works on both copper and PVC pipe systems common in Round Rock homes built across multiple decades. Pinpointing the exact location before any excavation saves you significant time and cost.
Learn MoreThermal Imaging Leak Inspection
Thermal cameras detect temperature differences at the slab surface caused by water moving through a broken pipe below. This is especially effective in Round Rock homes with tile or hardwood floors, where visible water damage may not appear for weeks. We use thermal imaging as a confirmation tool to give you the most accurate location possible before we touch your floor.
Learn MorePressure Testing
Before and after detection, we pressure test your plumbing lines to confirm exactly which line is compromised and to verify a successful repair afterward. This is a standard part of our slab leak process in Round Rock and gives homeowners documented proof that the issue has been fully resolved. It also helps identify whether multiple leak points exist within the same line.
Learn MoreSlab Leak Repair
Once the leak is located, we walk you through your repair options — whether that's direct access through the slab, rerouting the line through the walls, or a full repipe depending on the pipe's condition. Many older Round Rock homes benefit from rerouting rather than repeated spot repairs on aging copper lines. We give you an honest recommendation based on your home's specific situation.
Learn MorePipe Rerouting
When a slab leak occurs in a section of pipe that has already been patched or is showing widespread deterioration, rerouting the line above ground through interior walls or the attic is often the smarter long-term fix. This approach avoids repeated jackhammering of your concrete foundation and is commonly recommended for Round Rock homes built in the 1980s and 1990s with original copper plumbing. We handle the full reroute from start to finish.
Learn MoreWhole House Repiping
If your Round Rock home has a history of slab leaks or widespread pipe corrosion, whole house repiping may be the most cost-effective solution. Replacing aging copper or galvanized lines with modern PEX eliminates the risk of future under-slab failures and improves water pressure throughout the home. Cold is on the Right handles complete repiping projects and will explain your options clearly before any work begins.
Learn MoreEmergency Slab Leak Response
A sudden slab leak can produce enough water pressure to buckle flooring, crack tile, or push moisture into your walls within hours. If you're seeing rapid water accumulation, a sharply spiking water meter, or wet spots spreading across your floor, that's an emergency. Cold is on the Right offers emergency plumbing service in Round Rock so you're not waiting until Monday morning for someone to show up.
Learn MoreFoundation Moisture Assessment
Water that has been leaking under a slab for an extended period can saturate the soil beneath your foundation and create conditions for settlement or cracking. As part of our slab leak service in Round Rock, we assess moisture levels and help you understand the scope of any potential foundation impact before you engage a foundation repair company. Catching this early makes a significant difference in long-term repair costs.
Learn MoreWater Meter Leak Verification
Not every spike in your water bill is a slab leak — but many Round Rock homeowners don't know how to tell the difference. We walk you through how to read your meter and perform a simple shutoff test, then use professional equipment to confirm whether the leak is under the slab or coming from another source. This step saves you from paying for detection when the problem is actually a running toilet or irrigation line.
Learn MorePost-Repair Leak Verification
After any slab leak repair, we perform a full pressure test and visual inspection to confirm the line is fully sealed and holding at the correct operating pressure. This gives Round Rock homeowners documented assurance that the repair was successful and helps establish a baseline if any issues arise in the future. We don't consider the job done until you have that confirmation in hand.
Learn MoreSlab Leak Insurance Documentation
Many homeowners insurance policies in Texas cover slab leak repairs under certain conditions, and documentation of the leak location and cause is essential to filing a successful claim. Cold is on the Right provides detailed written reports of our findings, including the leak location, suspected cause, and recommended repair method, which can be submitted directly to your insurance carrier. We've helped Round Rock homeowners navigate this process and get the coverage they're entitled to.

We Know Round Rock Homes
Round Rock has grown into one of the largest cities in the Austin metro, and the homes here reflect every era of that growth. Older neighborhoods near downtown and the Sam Bass Road corridor have plumbing systems that are now 35 to 40 years old — copper supply lines that were perfectly fine in 1988 but are now thinning and showing stress fractures where the slab has shifted. The clay-heavy soil in much of Williamson County swells when it rains and contracts hard during dry summers, and that ground movement puts consistent pressure on the pipes running beneath your foundation.
Newer developments in the Teravista, Walsh Ranch, and Forest Creek areas come with their own considerations — PEX plumbing, faster construction timelines, and the occasional issue with improper bedding under the slab during the building boom years. We've worked in both the older established parts of Round Rock and the newer subdivisions pushing toward Georgetown, and that range of experience matters when we're diagnosing a slab leak. We're not guessing based on general knowledge; we're working from what we've actually seen in homes just like yours.

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!
