Water Filtration SystemsTD Plumbing Solutions repairs slab leaks for homes across Benbrook and Greater Fort Worth, finding the break under your concrete floor and explaining your options first.
A slab leak is a break in a water line that runs under your concrete foundation. There's often more than one way to fix it. One is to open the floor right at the leak. Another is to run a new line that skips the slab. Terrill prices each one, and you choose.
You notice a warm spot on the floor or a damp patch in the carpet. In a slab home, those signs often point to a leak under the concrete.
A hot water line leaking under the slab can heat the floor right above it.
Water coming up from below soaks flooring from the bottom first.
Hearing water with every tap off points to a leak in a buried line.
If hot water leaks under the slab, the heater keeps refilling and heating.
Water under the slab can soften the soil and add to foundation movement.
A slab leak can waste a lot of water before you see it.

Terrill says he would rather lose a sale than push a repair you don't need, so you'll hear plainly when a spot repair is enough and when it won't be.
Many newer homes around Benbrook and Fort Worth sit on post-tension slabs, with water lines buried below. Our clay soil swells and shrinks, which rubs and bends those pipes. Slab leaks tend to show up after a long dry summer or a sudden wet spell.
Hot water lines are the most likely to fail under a slab, since heat makes the pipe grow and shrink every day.
Our clay soil is a big reason. It swells when wet and shrinks in drought, so the slab and the pipes under it move. Over time, that movement wears and bends the lines. Older copper, hard water and daily heating of hot lines add to it.
TD Plumbing Solutions in Benbrook repairs slab leaks for homes across Benbrook and Greater Fort Worth. Owner Terrill Dobbs, a Texas Responsible Master Plumber, RMP 45333, finds the leak and prices each option before work starts. Hearth financing is available.
It can be. If water is coming up through the floor or the meter is spinning fast, shut off the main valve and call. A slow leak isn't as urgent, but waiting lets water soak the soil under your home. It's best to have it found soon.
Not always. A spot repair means opening the floor at the leak. The other choice is to run a new line through the walls or attic and leave the old one in place. Terrill explains both, with prices, and helps you pick what fits.
A warm floor or a water heater that runs all the time points to the hot side. Terrill tests both lines to be sure. Knowing which one is leaking tells him where to look and which repair makes the most sense for your home.
The repaired spot should hold. But if the rest of the pipe under the slab is old or worn, another spot can fail later. Terrill looks at your pipe's age and tells you honestly whether a spot repair or a new line is the better long-term choice.
For a slow leak, you can usually keep using water until it's fixed, as long as you watch for damp spots. If water is pooling or the meter is spinning, shut off the main and call. Terrill can tell you on the phone how urgent it sounds.
No, but the two are linked. A slab leak is a plumbing problem: a broken water line under the concrete. Left alone, the water can soften the soil and add to foundation movement. Fixing the leak is a plumbing job. Foundation repair is a separate trade.
