Slab leaks are a San Antonio problem more than a plumbing problem. The soil under the Monte Vista area of San Antonio is clay soil over limestone, and ground that moves takes buried copper with it. We find the leak in Monte Vista before anything gets cut, then price repair against reroute.
What drives leaks in Monte Vista is historic district rules and original finishes that limit how work gets done. It is why a warm spot on the floor or a hairline crack in the tile deserves a call rather than a wait-and-see — under-slab leaks do not stabilize on their own.
We separate detection from repair deliberately. You pay to find out what is wrong, you get the location and the photos, and you decide what happens next — including taking that information to someone else if you want a second quote.
