Kinsey Plumbing, Heating & Air detects and repairs slab leaks in Liberty Hill, locating broken water and drain lines beneath the concrete foundation and fixing them with the least disruption possible to your floors and home. A leak under the slab is out of sight, but it can quietly waste water, damage flooring, and threaten the foundation, so finding it quickly matters.
Call us if you find a warm or hot spot on a tile or concrete floor, your water bill jumps without any change in use, you hear water running when every fixture is off, the water meter keeps moving with the house shut down, flooring buckles, carpet feels damp, or baseboards swell, new cracks appear in walls or floors, mildew smells linger near the floor, or water pressure drops for no clear reason.

We back the repair with warranties that go beyond the industry standard.

Finding a slab leak is a matter of narrowing down the location before anything is opened. Our plumbers start by confirming there is a leak with meter and pressure tests, then determine whether it is on the hot side, cold side, or a drain line. From there we use electronic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and line tracing to locate the leak as precisely as possible. That accuracy keeps any cutting through the floor small and focused, which saves time and repair costs.
Once the leak is located, you receive a written flat-rate quote that explains the repair options. Depending on the situation, that may be a direct spot repair through a small opening in the slab, rerouting the affected line through walls or the attic to bypass the slab, or repiping a section of the home if the pipes are failing in multiple places. We explain the trade-offs of each approach with honest numbers and let you choose.
The plumber who finds the leak oversees the repair, tests the system under pressure afterward to confirm it is sealed, and remains your contact for any follow-up.
Ground conditions in Central Texas play a big role in slab leaks. Expansive clay soils in parts of the region swell when wet and shrink when dry, and that movement stresses pipes running beneath foundations. On the west side of town, the ground shifts toward rockier limestone, which can make excavation more involved when a repair requires it. Hard water also wears on copper lines over time. We see slab leaks in both newer subdivision homes and older houses on acreage.
Our slab leak services include:
A properly repaired slab leak stops water loss immediately, brings your water bill back to normal, and keeps moisture away from flooring and the foundation. You also get peace of mind knowing exactly where the problem was, how it was fixed, and whether other parts of the plumbing show similar risk. In many cases, early detection means a small, targeted repair instead of a major project.
Waiting on a suspected slab leak can be costly. Water escaping under the foundation can erode the soil that supports it, contributing to settling and cracks. Moisture can ruin flooring, feed mold, and damage walls. A hot water leak also wastes energy as your water heater keeps reheating water that never reaches a tap. The longer the leak runs, the larger the repair and restoration bill usually becomes.
After the repair, your plumber walks you through what was found and fixed, recommends whether further repiping is worth considering, and explains how to monitor your water meter for any future changes. We can also point you toward flooring or foundation professionals if the leak caused damage beyond the plumbing.
If you suspect a leak, one simple check is to turn off every fixture and appliance that uses water, then watch the meter for several minutes. If the dial or flow indicator moves, water is escaping somewhere, and a professional inspection is the next step.
