Plumber in Justin, TX

Almost all homes in Justin are built on slab-on-grade foundations that sit directly on North Texas expansive clay soil. That clay shrinks in dry summers and swells after rain, creating constant movement that stresses the copper or PEX supply lines embedded beneath the concrete. Over time, that friction causes small fractures that grow into active leaks, often without any visible sign at the surface until water bills spike or flooring begins to warp.

Yes. We use acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and pressure testing to pinpoint the leak location before any concrete is touched. In newer subdivisions like Timberbrook or Treeline, where PEX lines are common, pressure isolation testing can identify the exact section of pipe that has failed, keeping the repair footprint as small as possible.

An unexplained rise in your water bill with no visible dripping is a classic sign of a slab leak or a pressurized supply line failure underground. Turn off all fixtures and watch your water meter — if the dial still moves, water is escaping somewhere in the system. A leak detection inspection using acoustic equipment can locate the source beneath the slab or along buried exterior lines.

Yes. Properties on larger lots outside the denser subdivisions often have longer underground water, sewer, and gas line runs that are harder to trace. We use electronic pipe locating equipment to map those lines accurately before any excavation, which is especially important on properties where utility records may be incomplete or where lines were installed without formal documentation.

In newer subdivisions, drain lines are typically PVC and in good condition, but root intrusion from landscaping trees and shifting soil can still cause blockages and joint separations within the first decade. A sewer camera inspection lets us see exactly what is happening inside the line — whether it is a root intrusion, a belly in the pipe from soil settlement, or a buildup that drain cleaning can clear.
