Leak Detection & Repair in Round Rock 78665

2000s and 2010s construction in 78665

The housing in the 78665 ZIP is newer than much of Round Rock, with the majority of homes built between 2003 and 2015. The supply in these homes runs in late-era copper, early PEX, or a copper-to-PEX combination, with irrigation systems and outdoor plumbing installed at the same time. At 10 to 20 years of age, this pipe is entering the early phase of its failure window. The first slab failures appear at the joints and elbows. The first irrigation valve failures show as zones that underperform or as slow manifold weeps. The service line from the meter to the house is the part most likely to fail first, often silently through the underground run.

A meter that turns slowly with everything off is the clearest sign of a loss in this ZIP. Call (512) 737-6168 and we can confirm and locate it.

Slab leaks in newer 78665 homes

Slab leaks in the 78665 ZIP tend to appear earlier than in older neighborhoods because the construction period included years when PVC glued joints in slabs were sometimes rushed. A PVC slip-joint connection that was not properly prepared before gluing shows a slow weep after 10 to 15 years. Combined with the thermal cycling a Texas slab experiences, this produces the first failures in homes that feel too new to have a slab problem. We locate these non-invasively and make the repair at one confirmed core rather than an exploratory opening.
