Slab leaks are a San Antonio problem more than a plumbing problem. The soil under Olmos Park, Texas is clay soil near the Olmos Creek drainage, and ground that moves takes buried copper with it. We find the leak in Olmos Park before anything gets cut, then price repair against reroute.
What drives leaks in Olmos Park is protecting mature landscaping and hardscape during sewer work. 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.
Once located, you get two prices: repair the section, or reroute the line overhead and abandon what is under the slab. On older homes in Olmos Park the reroute is frequently the better investment, and we will show you the math rather than assert it.
