The vast majority of homes north of Dallas that were built between the 1960s and 2010s have copper water lines under the slab foundations. Copper makes an excellent water line, but over time pin-hole leaks have the tendency to develop. This can be caused by improper installation, the water line touching concrete or a piece of ferrous metal, or turbulence in the water line.
Signs of a water line slab leak may include:
In order for the test to be successfully performed, there must not be any leaky faucets or toilets and the house line must be successfully isolated from the yard line. After a leak has been confirmed, Legacy Plumbing uses top-of-the-line water leak detection equipment, such as acoustic listening devices and electronic line locators to locate the leak and determine the severity of any damage.
For water leaks, Legacy Plumbing typically starts by confirming a leak by pressure testing the lines. A pressure gauge is typically connected to a faucet and the water is turned off at the meter or at the shut off valve in the yard. The pressure on the gauge is monitored to determine if there is a loss of pressure.
Water line slab leak repairs can be made through small slab penetrations or by tunneling under the perimeter. In some cases, re-routing waterlines is a more economical solution, especially when the overall pipe system is corroded. When applicable, re-routing waterlines can also be used to prevent damage to expensive flooring. Read our blog article on the Four Ways to Fix a Slab Leak for more information.
Unfortunately, the soil in the Dallas Metro is notorious for causing slab foundations to shift over time. This ends up causing many of the sewer slab leaks in our area. Older homes may still have cast iron sewer lines, while newer homes utilize PVC piping under the slab. Cast iron can become corroded over time, while PVC piping is more likely to break. Sewer-line slab leaks can happen to older homes and newer homes. Detecting a slab leak is the first critical step, once confirmed a repair is necessary to prevent further damage.
For sewer and drain leaks, Legacy Plumbing uses isolation test balloons and sewer line camera equipment to locate the area(s) of the leak. A test ball is placed in the main sewer line at an exterior cleanout. The lines are then filled with water and monitored at the floor level to determine if the water drops. If the water does drop, a leak is confirmed. Isolation testing and running a camera in the line are the next steps to determine the exact location of the leak(s).
After our findings, we will consult with the homeowner on the best course of action to get the leak repaired. There are many factors to evaluate and determine the best way to repair a slab leak or replace a water or sewer line. The overall plumbing layout, house layout, slope, length, and depth of the lines can all determine the best outcome. Legacy Plumbing has extensive experience in both water line and sewer line slab leaks. We will walk you through the best solution before incurring any additional costs.
If you suspect you have a slab leak, you can trust Legacy Plumbing to get it resolved accurately, completely, and efficiently.

I called in a panic thinking I had a major leak under my living room floor, but wanted to speak to a plumber to be sure before too much damage was done. Theron called back within minutes and after troubleshooting my situation virtually, realized it was not a leak, but the circulator on my water-heater that was just doing it’s job getting hot water to the whole house! He was so kind, knowledgeable and quick to respond.
I will ABSOLUTELY use Legacy for our next plumbing issue!
Today was the most remarkable Service Call from a Plumbing Company for a Major Repair. The two technicians, Canon and Adam, arrived on time this morning. From the time of arrival and departure the care and concern to help us was beyond belief. We called for an appointment to have them evaluate our “slab leak”. Having already gotten a few estimates from $6500 – $11,000 other companies told us it would be necessary to tunnel & dig under the house and/or put holes in the floor. After Canon & Adam did an extensive evaluation, they suggested a “sleeve method” to repair the fresh water pipe that was leaking under our kitchen floor. Using the “sleeve method” our cost was $3160 and hardly any mess at all and NO outside repair or tunneling required. These two guys worked as a team for over 6 hours together. Their determination to find the exact location of the water line leak and provide the most cost efficient plan of this repair was their top priority; while cleaning & tidying up as they went along. We couldn’t have been more pleased about the service, the price and professionalism. Thank You Canon and Adam…. you did an exceptional job! Curtis & Marilyn P – Carrollton, TX.
I want to make a commendation to Wayne and Hubart for his professionalism. I am very satisfy with their work. They came on time, and did the under slab repair diligently. Very courteous and eagerly to do their job well done. Hats off to the excavation team, so impressed with their job, they left no evidence whatsoever about the digging, everything came back to its place, like there was no job done there. Immaculate results! Thanks to both teams for the excellent work done here!!!
We discovered on Sunday (labor day weekend) we suddenly had heated floors in in the laundry room – nice. Also the cold water faucets in the kitchen and laundry room provided warm water.
Yes, a water-leak in the slab.
Called Legacy plumbing and got a call back very quickly that went through the options for the reasons and the pricing for the possible scenarios.
Kelly McGinn and his colleague(sorry, not good with names) came on Tuesday morning after labor day and diagnosed the problem and fixed the leak. A 1/8″ hole in one of the hot water pipe, in the slab.
A few hours later it was all fixed and at a fair price – Not the first time over the years that Legacy Plumbing, Kyle and team help us with plumbing issues. All the dry wall, wood etc was put back in place and it was cleaner than before.
Thanks – keep up the great work.

I called Legacy about a hot water leak under my slab. Four months earlier I had a similar problem and a used independent plumber who fixed a similar leak in an agonizing 2-day dusty intrusion into our lives. This time I decided to go with a highly rated professional establishment, Legacy. Enoch and associate arrived in uniform and presented themselves in a very professional manner. They evaluated the problem and explained the solution in detail. We hardly knew they were there and 4 hours later the leak was fixed. During the work a wall plate was accidentally broken, we told him not to worry, but before they left Enoch had located the plate online and ordered it. We received it today. We will definitely use Legacy in the future.
