Kinsey Plumbing, Heating & Air finds and fixes water line leaks beneath the concrete foundations of Lakeway homes, choosing the repair that stops the leak with the least disruption to your floors and daily life. Water escaping under a slab is out of sight, which means it can waste water and soak the ground beneath your house for a long time before the signs become obvious.
Call us if your water bill climbs month after month without explanation, the meter dial keeps moving when nothing in the house is using water, a patch of floor feels noticeably warm under bare feet, you hear a faint hiss or trickle near a wall or floor with every tap closed, flooring has started to lift, buckle, or feel damp, baseboards show water stains or swelling, the water heater seems to run far more often than it used to, or a musty odor near the floor will not go away.
Slab leak work at Kinsey is done by licensed plumbers, priced at a flat rate you approve before any floor or concrete is opened, and protected by warranties stronger than the industry usually offers. Notify us online as soon as you suspect a leak, or reserve a visit with Schedule Now.

The aim with any slab leak is to know exactly where it is before cutting into anything. Our plumber begins by confirming the leak through the meter and by isolating different parts of the plumbing, which tells us whether the hot side, the cold side, or a specific branch is losing water. Then we narrow the location with pressure tests and electronic listening equipment, marking the spot so any access opening is small and precise. That process protects your flooring and keeps the repair cost under control.
Once the leak is pinned down, you receive a written flat-rate quote describing your options. A single failed spot can often be repaired directly through a small opening in the slab. When the line has several weak points or the pipe shows wear throughout, rerouting the water line through the walls or attic may be the more lasting answer, and sometimes partial or whole-home repiping is worth weighing. We explain the cost, disruption, and expected life of each option so you can decide with full information.
A few local facts are relevant. Many homes in this area are larger houses built from the 1980s through the 2000s, and their original under-slab lines have now been in service for decades. Central Texas water is hard, and mineral content wears on pipes over time. Homes built on slopes and hillsides are common here, and parts of the wider region have expansive clay soil that swells and shrinks with moisture, adding stress to pipes beneath a foundation.

The plumber who locates your leak completes the repair, confirms the system holds pressure, and remains your contact for questions about next steps.
When a slab leak is located accurately and repaired well, the water loss stops, the meter goes still, and your bill drops back to where it belongs. Warm spots cool, damp flooring dries, and the ground under your home stops taking on water. You also come away knowing how the rest of your under-slab plumbing looks, which helps you decide whether rerouting or repiping makes sense before another leak appears.
Leaving a slab leak alone is a costly gamble. Water running under a foundation can soften or wash away supporting soil, contribute to foundation movement, ruin flooring and cabinets, and create conditions for mold. A leak on the hot side keeps the water heater firing nonstop, adding energy waste to water waste. Every week the leak runs raises the chance that a pipe repair grows into flooring, wall, and foundation work.
After the repair, your plumber shows you where the leak was and what was done, explains how the opening will be closed, and notes any signs of wear elsewhere in the system. If rerouting or repiping could head off future leaks, we tell you so plainly and leave the choice with you. We keep the work area as clean as we can and let you know what to expect if flooring needs to be restored afterward.
