Burst Pipes & Slab Leaks in San Antonio

Freezes like the February 2021 winter storm showed how many San Antonio homes can burst pipes at once. Slab leaks — leaks in water lines under the concrete foundation — are also common here and can quietly soak floors for weeks.

What a pro typically handles

• Shut off the main water valve first
• Water removal and drying
• Leak detection referrals for hidden slab leaks
• Flooring and drywall removal and repair
• Signs of a slab leak: warm spots on the floor, a running water meter with everything off, unexplained high water bills

Before you hire

• Ask if they work directly with insurance and provide photo and moisture documentation
• Get a written scope and estimate
• Check insurance, reviews and (for mold) Texas state licensing
• Never sign over insurance benefits without reading carefully
