Cat Hollow | Round Rock, Williamson County TX

Leak Detection & Repair in Cat Hollow, TX

Cat Hollow developed in the early 1990s in central Round Rock, with homes clustered around the neighborhood park and the Brushy Creek tributary corridors. The copper supply lines installed during that build are now 30 to 35 years old, and the first signs of hard-water pitting are showing.

1990s copper in Cat Hollow

The supply lines in a Cat Hollow home typically run in copper installed between 1990 and 1998. At 25 to 35 years under Round Rock's water, those pipes have absorbed a significant dose of scale and chloramine treatment. The pitting that begins at the elbows and fitting sockets eventually opens a pinhole, and the first sign is usually a ceiling stain or a slow meter rather than anything visible in the walls.

Cat Hollow homes that have had one pinhole leak often have another on the way, because the pipe condition across the slab is what matters, not just the point where the first one appeared. Call (512) 737-6168 and we can assess the full pipe condition after finding the first leak.

Slab leaks and the Brushy Creek corridor terrain

Cat Hollow sits alongside Brushy Creek drainage corridors, and the terrain here includes some variation in grade that is less common in the flat neighborhoods to the east. Homes on the sloped lots can experience differential settling, which puts additional stress on the under-slab copper at the points where the pipe changes direction. A slab leak in these homes may surface at an unexpected distance from the pipe run because the water follows the grade rather than rising straight up.

We acoustic-test and thermal-scan to confirm the leak location before any core goes in, specifically because the water path in these lots can mislead. Call (512) 737-6168 if the meter is turning and nothing is obviously wrong.

In-wall supply in Cat Hollow homes

The copper inside the walls of a Cat Hollow home has aged alongside the under-slab supply. A slow pinhole in a wall cavity drips only when the pipe pressure spikes, which can be during a hot water run or an irrigation cycle. It shows up as a damp stain on the drywall face long after the drip started. Thermal imaging reads the cool wet zone through the wall surface and marks where the access cut should go, keeping the repair small.

Getting a Cat Hollow leak repaired

Most Cat Hollow repairs we handle are a clean pipe section replacement at the confirmed location. Where the slab pipe is pitting throughout, we will present a reroute or repipe comparison alongside the spot repair so you have the honest numbers for both. The neighborhood's 1990s construction means the surrounding pipe is often still in serviceable condition, but a second leak within a year is a signal worth taking seriously. For any leak in Cat Hollow, call (512) 737-6168 and we can take care of it.
