Homes around the subdivisions spreading off FM 1103 sit on deep expansive clay typical of the Blackland Prairie, and Cibolo is overwhelmingly built after 2000. That combination is exactly why leak detection calls here cluster the way they do — older supply lines under a foundation that never stops moving.
Cibolo, Texas deals with slab movement showing up as leaks in relatively young homes, which is the practical consequence of deep expansive clay typical of the Blackland Prairie under slab-on-grade construction. The leak itself is usually small; the water damage by the time it surfaces rarely is.
If the same line has leaked before, a repipe usually beats another patch. Homes in Cibolo that are overwhelmingly built after 2000 often reach that point, and we would rather tell you now than come back in eight months.
