Leak Detection & Repair in New Braunfels, TX

A hidden leak can waste thousands of gallons and quietly damage floors, walls and foundations before you ever see a drip. owensplumbingservicesllc finds leaks in New Braunfels homes with non-invasive tools — acoustic listening, thermal imaging and pressure testing — so we open up only the spot that needs repair.

Once we find it, we fix it properly and explain your options when a single repair isn't the best long-term answer.

Signs of a hidden leak

  • A water bill that jumps with no change in how you use water
  • The meter moving with every fixture turned off
  • Warm spots on the floor (often a hot-water line under a slab)
  • Stains, bubbling paint or musty smells on walls and ceilings
  • The sound of running water when nothing is on

How leak detection & repair works with owensplumbingservicesllc

  1. Confirm the leak

    Meter and pressure tests tell us whether there's a leak and which system it's on.

  2. Pinpoint it

    Acoustic and thermal tools narrow it down to a small area before anything is opened.

  3. Repair

    We open the smallest access we can, repair the line, and pressure-test the fix.

  4. Options for the long term

    If the pipe is failing in more than one place, we'll price a reroute or repipe so you can compare.

What affects the cost of leak detection & repair

Every job is quoted after we see it — these are the things that move the number:

Leak location

Leaks in open walls or crawlspaces are simpler than leaks under a slab.

Detection time

Some leaks show up quickly; others take more testing to pinpoint.

Repair or reroute

Rerouting a line around the slab can cost more up front but avoids breaking the floor.

Restoration

Drywall and flooring repairs after the fix are separate from the plumbing work.

Leak Detection & Repair FAQs

Will you have to tear up my floor?

Not usually. Pinpointing the leak first keeps any opening small, and a reroute can avoid opening the slab at all.

Does insurance cover leak repairs?

It depends on your policy. Many policies cover resulting water damage but not the pipe repair itself. We can document what we find for your claim.

What should I do if I find a leak?

Shut off the main water valve and call us. Move valuables away from the wet area and take photos for your insurer.
