Meter and pressure tests
A pressure test on the lines, or a look at whether the meter keeps moving with every fixture closed, narrows a leak to a part of the system before anyone opens a wall or a floor.
Leak Detection and Slab Leak Repair in Irving
A hidden leak shows up as a wet patch, a stained ceiling, warm spots on a floor or a bill that climbs for no clear reason. Call and describe what you are seeing, and the plumber on the phone gives a free estimate that starts with finding the leak.
Where a leak sits in relation to the water meter matters in Irving, so this page also explains which side belongs to the city and which to the owner.
Finding the leak
Leaks inside walls and ceilings
A stain on a ceiling or a damp wall may sit well away from the pipe that is leaking. Listening equipment and moisture readings trace it back to its source.
Slab leaks
Under the slab, a leaking line stays hidden until the floor turns warm or damp underfoot. When the leak has been pinpointed, the plumber repairs the line at that spot or reroutes the run.
Yard line leaks
A soggy patch in the yard, a stripe of greener lawn or lower water pressure can mean the line between the meter and the house is leaking. Tracing that line locates the leak.
Which side of the meter is yours
The city fixes leaks up to the water meter, and the line from the meter to the house, with everything inside it, is on the customer’s side. A leak found on the house side of the meter therefore falls to the owner.
That is the reason to pin the leak down before deciding anything else: the detection visit shows whether the problem is in the yard line, under the slab or inside a wall.
