Leak Detection & Repair in Austin, TX
For homeowners who want detection and repair handled as a single project instead of two separate calls, this is the full process end to end: confirming there is a leak, accurately locating it without unnecessary excavation, and completing the repair.
What the Full Process Looks Like
Confirm there is a leak
Meter and shutoff testing, plus a check of visible fixtures and exterior connections, before assuming anything is hidden.
Pinpoint the exact location
Acoustic listening, pressure testing, and thermal imaging where it applies, cross-confirmed with a second method before marking a spot.
Complete the repair
Spot repair, re-route, or a trenchless approach, depending on pipe material, location, and the condition of the surrounding plumbing.
Why Combine Detection and Repair
Separating detection and repair into two different providers can create an accountability gap. If a repair fails later, it is unclear whether the original detection was wrong or the repair itself was poorly executed. Handling both end to end keeps that accountability in one place, with one provider responsible for the outcome, not just one half of it.
This page connects directly to our Slab Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair pillar pages if you want more detail on either half of the process on its own.
When the Combined Approach Makes the Most Sense
This page is built for the most common search and the most common real-world situation: a homeowner who suspects a leak, has not had it looked at yet, and wants the whole thing handled rather than coordinating two separate vendors. If you already have a confirmed detection report in hand from someone else, our repair-only page is the more direct starting point. If you only want the leak located and plan to handle repair decisions separately, detection on its own covers that. Most people calling about a suspected leak for the first time are better served starting here, since it keeps the full decision in one conversation instead of two.
