Find the Leak Before It Finds Your Foundation

Most water leaks in Houston homes are hidden — buried under slabs, behind walls, or underground between the meter and the house. By the time you see a stain or a sky-high water bill, the damage is already underway. Our licensed plumbers use infrared thermal cameras, ultrasonic sonar, and electronic acoustic equipment to locate the exact spot, so the repair is targeted, clean, and affordable.

As a family-owned company led by owner Leonard Papa, Houston Plumbing Services ® treats your home like our own — we protect your floors, explain what we find, and never recommend work you don't need.

Why early detection pays off

  • A 1/8-inch crack can leak 250+ gallons a day
  • Undetected slab leaks lead to costly foundation repair
  • Hidden moisture breeds mold within 24–48 hours
  • Pinpointing the source means a smaller, cheaper repair
Warning Signs

Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak

If you notice any of these, it's time for a professional leak detection visit.

💸

Rising Water Bills

An unexplained jump in your monthly bill is the #1 sign of a leak running somewhere out of sight.

🌊

Sound of Running Water

Hearing water move when every fixture is off usually means a line is leaking inside a wall or slab.

🔥

Warm Spots on the Floor

A hot patch on your floor can signal a leak in a hot-water line beneath the foundation.

🟫

Stains & Warping

Water stains on ceilings or walls, peeling paint, or buckling floors point to moisture behind the surface.

🍄

Mold or Musty Odor

A persistent musty smell or visible mildew means water is collecting where you can't see it.

📉

Low Water Pressure

A sudden drop in pressure can mean water is escaping the line before it reaches your faucets.

What We Detect

Our Leak Detection Services

From the meter to the master bath, we locate and repair leaks anywhere in your residential or commercial plumbing system — across your water, drain, and gas lines.

1

Slab & Foundation Leaks

Pinpoint and repair leaks under the concrete slab before they undermine your foundation.

2

Underground Water Line Leaks

Locate breaks between the city meter and your home without trenching the whole yard.

3

Sewer Line Leaks

Camera-assisted inspection finds cracks, root intrusion, and breaks in your sewer line.

4

Gas Line Leaks

We locate and repair natural gas leaks — including restoring service after CenterPoint or the City of Houston shuts off your gas for a leak. Call 24/7 if you smell gas.

5

Hidden Pipe & Wall Leaks

Find leaks behind walls, under sinks, and inside ceilings before drywall damage spreads.

6

Water Heater & Fixture Leaks

Track down leaks around water heaters, toilets, tubs, and supply connections.

How It Works

Questions

Leak Detection FAQs

How do you find a leak without tearing up my house?

We use non-invasive tools — infrared thermal cameras, ultrasonic sonar, electronic acoustic listening equipment, and in-pipe video inspection — to locate the leak precisely before any work begins. That means a small, targeted repair instead of opening up walls or floors to "go looking."

How much does leak detection cost?

Our leak detection visit is a flat $99, which covers locating the source of the leak. Any repairs are quoted separately and billed in addition to the $99 detection fee — and you'll always get clear, upfront pricing before any repair work begins. Call (713) 231-3309 to schedule.

Do you offer emergency leak detection?

Yes. Burst pipes, gas leaks, and major water leaks won't wait until morning. We offer 24/7 emergency service across Greater Houston — call or text us any time at (713) 231-3309.

What is a slab leak and is it serious?

A slab leak is a leak in the water lines running beneath your home's concrete foundation. Left unchecked, it can damage your foundation, flooring, and lead to mold. Early detection keeps the repair small and protects your home's structure.

I smell gas — what should I do?

Leave the area immediately, avoid switching anything electrical on or off, and call your gas utility and 911 if the smell is strong. Once it's safe, call us at (713) 231-3309 for professional gas leak detection and code-compliant repair.
