## Problems This Service Solves

- Warm spots on the floor
- Water bill rising with no change in usage
- Cracks in the foundation, flooring, or drywall
- Sound of water running under the slab
- Under-slab supply or drain line leaks located without breaking concrete

Because so many Houston homes are built on concrete slabs sitting in shifting clay soil, slab leaks are one of the most common — and most costly — plumbing problems we see. The good news: caught early, they're far cheaper and less disruptive to fix. Hugo Plumbing specializes in finding them fast and fixing them right.

## Warning Signs of a Slab Leak

- A sudden, unexplained spike in your water bill
- The sound of running water when everything is off
- Warm or hot spots on the floor
- Low water pressure throughout the house
- Cracked, damp, or warped flooring
- A musty smell or visible mold

Even one or two of these is worth a professional look before the water damages your foundation.

## Detection Before Demolition

The biggest mistake in slab leak repair is breaking concrete to "go find" the leak. We don't guess. Using **acoustic detection, pressure testing, and line tracing**, we pinpoint the exact location first — which means a smaller repair, less disruption to your floors, and a lower bill.

## Your Repair Options

Once we've located it, we'll explain your choices in plain language:

- **Spot repair** — access and fix the single failed section.
- **Pipe rerouting** — bypass a bad line through walls or the attic, often ideal for older systems.
- **Repiping** — replace aging, leak-prone lines when more failures are likely.

We always recommend the option that solves the problem long-term without overspending.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### How do you find a slab leak without breaking the floor?

We use non-invasive electronic leak detection — acoustic listening equipment, pressure testing, and line tracing — to locate the leak precisely before opening anything. Accurate detection means a smaller, cheaper repair.

### Why are slab leaks so common in Houston?

Houston's expansive clay soil swells and shrinks with our wet-and-dry seasons, shifting foundations and stressing the pipes beneath the slab. Combined with slab-on-grade construction and aging copper, that makes slab leaks far more common here.
