Leak Detection & Repair in Paloma Lake, TX

PEX homes and their leak patterns

Most Paloma Lake homes were built with PEX supply, which resists the hard-water pitting that drives pinhole failures in copper. But PEX has its own failure points. The brass fittings and manifold connections can corrode under Round Rock's hard water. The supply line from the meter to the house is often copper even on a PEX interior, and that buried run develops leaks at the meter connection and at any above-grade transition fitting. And the under-slab supply, even in PEX, can fail at a crimp or clamp connection that was not set correctly at installation.

A meter that turns slowly with everything off is the first sign in a PEX home, because the water escapes underground and the leak is rarely visible inside. Call (512) 737-6168 and we can find where the water is going.

Underground service lines in Paloma Lake

The water service lines in Paloma Lake run from the meter at the street to each home, often covering 40 to 60 feet of buried copper or copper-to-PEX transition. A slow leak at the meter connection, at a transition fitting, or at a buried coupling where the line was repaired develops quietly underground. The yard gives no visible sign until the water table near the line shifts or the ground softens. The meter is where it shows: turning slowly with everything off means the loss is between the meter and the house.
