The warning signs

Do you have a hidden leak?

Most leaks stay hidden until the damage is done. If any of these sound familiar, it’s worth a look.

60‑second self‑check

Read your water meter

Turn off every fixture, then watch the meter. If the dial keeps moving, water is escaping somewhere — and that spinning dial is water you’re paying for.

  • Warm spot on the floor, damp carpet, or a musty smell.
  • Low or dropping water pressure throughout the house.
  • Cracks in walls or floors, or doors that start to stick.
  • Wet or unusually green patches in the yard.

Section 4 · Why Tyler homes leak
Why Tyler homes leak

Built on ground that moves

Tyler’s soil and water are hard on plumbing. Knowing exactly how leaks start here is what makes us faster at finding them.

Expansive clay soil

East Texas Wilcox clay swells and shrinks with the seasons, cracking pipes under slabs and in the yard. A leak then heaves the slab — so leaks and foundation trouble feed each other.

SHRINK–SWELL: 15–30% SEASONAL

Hard water

Around 9.5 grains per gallon corrodes older copper and galvanized pipe, causing pinhole leaks — especially in pre‑1980 homes in the Azalea and Brick Streets districts.

HARDNESS: ~9.5 GPG

Freeze events

Hard freezes in 2021 and 2022 burst pipes across Tyler, and cracked lines can leak quietly for months afterward — hot‑water lines most of all.

Section 9 · FAQ
Good questions

Leak detection FAQs

How do I find a water leak in my home?
Turn off every fixture and check your water meter. If it still moves, water is escaping somewhere. Look for damp patches, warm floor spots, and a musty smell, then call for electronic location.
What are the three types of leak detection?
Acoustic listening, thermal imaging, and tracer gas. Acoustic picks up the sound of escaping water, thermal reads temperature changes where water spreads, and tracer gas is used on drained or silent lines.
Can you find a leak without breaking my walls or floor?
Yes. Acoustic sensors and thermal imaging locate most leaks through concrete, tile, and drywall. Nothing is opened until we can mark the exact spot and tell you the repair cost.
How much does leak detection cost in Tyler, TX?
Most detection runs $150 to $600, depending on the leak type and how hard it is to reach. Slab and underground leaks sit higher. The detection fee is credited if we do the repair.
Can a plumber do leak detection?
A licensed plumber can, if they carry the equipment. Acoustic gear, thermal cameras, and tracer gas are specialist tools, so not every plumbing company offers full electronic detection.
Does homeowners insurance cover leak detection?
Texas policies often cover sudden water damage to floors and walls, and sometimes access costs, but rarely the pipe repair itself. Coverage depends on your policy wording, so check with your insurer.
How long does leak detection take?
Most residential jobs take one to three hours. An accessible fixture leak can be found in under an hour. Slab, underground, and pool leaks take longer because each line has to be isolated.
Can I hire someone just to find a leak?
Yes. Detection is a standalone service. You get the location marked and a written report, and you’re free to take that to any licensed plumber for the repair.
