Stop Water Damage Before It Spreads

Professional plumbing leak repair services for homeowners in Spicewood

You rely on your plumbing to work quietly and without issue, but leaks can start small and grow into serious problems if left unaddressed. In Spicewood, where homes sit on slab foundations and soil shifts with seasonal temperature swings, leaks can develop behind walls, under concrete, or in your yard without any visible warning. A dripping fixture might seem minor, but hidden pipe leaks and slab leaks can waste hundreds of gallons of water, invite mold growth, and damage structural components before you even realize something is wrong.


Marble Falls Plumbing LLC uses modern detection tools to locate leaks in places you cannot see, including behind drywall, beneath slab foundations, and underground. Once the source is identified, the repair process addresses the damaged section of pipe or faulty fixture directly, stopping water loss and preventing further damage. Whether you are dealing with a burst pipe, a slow drip under the sink, or a slab leak common in older Hill Country homes, the repair is tailored to the type of leak and the construction of your home. Local home styles, including older piping materials found throughout Marble Falls neighborhoods, require familiarity with how systems age and where vulnerabilities tend to show up.

How leaks are found and what repairs actually involve

When you suspect a leak, the first step is locating it without tearing apart walls or floors unnecessarily. In Spicewood, where many homes are built on slabs, electronic listening devices and pressure testing help pinpoint leaks beneath concrete or inside walls. Once the location is confirmed, the damaged pipe or fitting is exposed, cut out if necessary, and replaced with materials that match or improve upon the original installation. Fixture leaks, such as those around faucets or toilets, are often resolved by replacing worn washers, seals, or supply lines.


After the repair is complete, you will notice your water bill returns to normal, floors stay dry, and there are no unexplained sounds of running water when fixtures are off. Mold risks drop significantly once moisture is eliminated, and you avoid the much higher cost of repairing drywall, flooring, or foundation damage caused by prolonged exposure to water.


The work includes testing the system after the repair to confirm water pressure is stable and no secondary leaks exist. If a slab leak required accessing pipes through the foundation, the concrete is patched and finished to restore the surface. Pipe leak repair may involve soldering copper joints, replacing sections of PEX, or updating galvanized steel lines that have corroded over time. The service does not include cosmetic repairs to walls or floors beyond what is necessary to access and seal the plumbing, but it does ensure the plumbing itself is sound and won't cause future problems.

Questions homeowners in Spicewood often ask

Before scheduling a repair, it helps to understand what the process involves and what you should expect from start to finish.


  • What are the signs of a hidden plumbing leak? You might notice higher water bills, damp spots on floors or walls, the sound of running water when nothing is on, or warm areas on slab floors. Some leaks also cause low water pressure or discoloration in walls and ceilings.
  • How long does a typical leak repair take? Most fixture leaks are repaired in under an hour, while slab leaks or pipe repairs inside walls may take several hours depending on access and the extent of damage. You will have water service restored the same day in nearly all cases.
  • Why do slab leaks happen more often in this area? Soil movement caused by seasonal dry and wet cycles in Central Texas puts pressure on pipes embedded in concrete slabs. Older homes in Spicewood and Marble Falls often have copper lines that develop pinhole leaks or joints that fail over time due to this stress.
  • What tools are used to detect leaks? Electronic listening devices, infrared cameras, and pressure testing equipment help locate leaks without breaking through floors or walls unnecessarily. These tools identify the exact spot where water is escaping so repairs can be targeted and minimally invasive.
  • When should I call for leak repair instead of waiting? You should call as soon as you notice any sign of a leak, even if it seems small. Water damage compounds quickly, and what starts as a slow drip can lead to mold, wood rot, or foundation issues that cost far more to repair than the original leak.
