Under Slab Plumbing and Leak Detection - Houston's Trusted Plumbing Company

Tunneling under a concrete slab is a specialized process. We carefully excavate to access the damaged sewer or drain line beneath your foundation. After repairing or replacing the pipe, the most critical step is proper backfilling. We use specific techniques to compact the soil in layers, ensuring the tunnel is structurally sound. This prevents future settling that could damage your foundation or the new plumbing, which is a common risk if shortcuts are taken.

Yes, low water pressure can sometimes indicate an under slab leak in your fresh water supply line. A leak under the foundation allows water to escape before it reaches your fixtures, reducing pressure. As part of our plumbing inspection service, we can perform leak detection to locate any breaches in your water lines, whether they are under the slab or elsewhere, and provide a clear repair plan to restore your home's proper water flow.

A thorough inspection is crucial, especially for under slab work. It allows us to map your existing system, identify the exact location and cause of a problem, and assess the condition of older concrete or cast iron pipes. This upfront knowledge ensures we plan the most effective and lasting repair or installation, whether it's for a drain, water pipe, or sewer line, and helps prevent unforeseen complications during the tunneling and repair process.
