A slab leak is a water line leaking under your home’s concrete foundation — out of sight, running around the clock, and doing damage the whole time. Fixxer Company Plumbing finds slab leaks and repairs them for homeowners across Mesquite and the DFW Metroplex. Call (214) 534-1468.
Signs You May Have a Slab Leak
- A hot or warm spot on the floor
- The sound of running water when nothing in the house is on
- A sudden spike in your water bill with no change in use
- Cracks appearing in walls or flooring
- Wet spots, mildew smell, or flooring that feels damp or spongy
One sign can have other causes. Two or more together means don’t wait — every day a slab leak runs, it’s adding to the water bill and working on your foundation.
How We Find a Slab Leak
We don’t guess and we don’t start cutting concrete to look. We narrow the leak down first — which line, and where along it — and show you what we found before any repair work starts. You’ll know what the problem is, where it is, and what your options are before you commit to anything.
How a Slab Leak Gets Repaired
The right repair depends on where the leak is and what shape the line is in:
- Spot repair — when a single section of line has failed and the rest is sound, we repair that section.
- Reroute — when the line under the slab isn’t worth saving, we run a new line around the problem area instead of through the slab.
- Section replacement — when a longer run has failed, we replace that run.
We’ll tell you straight which one your house needs and why — including when the honest answer is the smaller job. See also Cast Iron Pipe Replacement in Mesquite, TX for drain-side tunneling work.
Why Slab Leaks Can’t Wait
A pressurized line leaking under a slab runs 24 hours a day. Besides the water bill, the moisture undermines the soil supporting the foundation and feeds mold growth. The leak itself never gets smaller — pipes don’t heal. Caught early, it’s a repair. Left alone, it becomes a repair plus foundation and flooring problems.

Slab Leak FAQs
How do I know if it’s a slab leak and not something else?
The signs above are the starting point. A spike in the water bill plus the sound of running water with everything off is the combination we take most seriously. We confirm it on site before any repair is quoted.
Will repairing a slab leak tear up my floors?
Not always. A reroute avoids the slab entirely, and where a spot repair is the right call, we keep the opening as small as the work allows. We’ll walk you through exactly what your repair involves before we start.
How long does slab leak repair take?
It depends on the repair type and access. We’ll give you a straight timeline with your quote, before any work begins.
What does slab leak repair cost?
Every job is different — location of the leak, access, and how much line is involved all drive it. Be skeptical of anyone quoting a flat price over the phone. We’ll find the leak, show you what we found, and give you an honest price before any work starts.
