Leak Detection & Repair in Old Settlers Ranch, TX

Old Settlers Ranch is one of Round Rock's newest planned communities, developed primarily in the 2010s near Old Settlers Park. Its homes were built with PEX supply, which handles the hard water better than copper, but the service lines from the street are still copper, and the outdoor plumbing carries its own failure profile.

PEX homes and where they still fail

The PEX supply inside Old Settlers Ranch homes resists the hard-water pitting that drives pinhole failures in copper, making the in-slab and in-wall supply more durable here than in older neighborhoods. But PEX has its own failure points. The brass fittings at every connection corrode over time under Round Rock's hard water. The manifold that distributes supply to each fixture can develop slow weeps at the crimp connections. And the service line from the meter to the house is copper even on a PEX interior, carrying the same hard-water exposure as any older home. Call (512) 737-6168 if the meter is moving with nothing running.

The service line from street to house

Old Settlers Ranch homes sit on relatively large lots, and the copper service line from the meter box at the street to the home entry can run 50 or more feet through the yard. A failure at the meter connection or at a coupling in the buried run is a common source of water loss. It never shows on the surface in dry weather, because the limestone and sandy soil in this area drains the escaping water quickly. The meter turns slowly with everything off inside, and that is usually the first sign. We EM-trace the line and acoustic-test to locate the break before any excavation opens the yard.

Outdoor fixtures and irrigation in a newer neighborhood

Old Settlers Ranch irrigation systems are in their teens, which is earlier than failure becomes common but not too early to show the first solenoid and fitting issues. Frost-free hose bibs on the home exterior, while built to handle Central Texas cold snaps, can fail at the stem seal when a hose is left connected through a freeze. We check the outdoor fixtures as part of any supply-side investigation, since a weeping hose bib connection inside the wall goes unnoticed until the siding shows moisture damage. Call (512) 737-6168 if an outdoor faucet is dripping or the meter looks wrong.
