Shreveport Leak Detection & Slab Leak Repair
Leak detection in Shreveport starts with a simple worry: the water bill has jumped, there is a damp patch nobody can explain, or you can hear water running with every tap closed. A hidden leak does its damage quietly, under a slab, inside a wall or out in the yard. Our team finds leaks and repairs them properly in Shreveport, Bossier City, Greenwood and Blanchard, and we are committed to high-quality outcomes. Call (318) 300-4894 today for a quote.
How Leaks Are Found
Our plumbers begin with the meter. If it keeps moving with every fixture off, water is escaping somewhere on your side. From there, a pressure test isolates the hot or cold side, acoustic listening equipment picks up the sound of water escaping under concrete, and a thermal camera can show a warm line through a floor. The aim is to locate the leak precisely before anything is opened. We will ensure that your leak detection in Shreveport is handled by professionals.
Slab Leaks
A slab leak is a leak in a water line that runs under a concrete foundation. Our team knows why they happen here. Much of the Red River flood plain is heavy Moreland clay, a soil that cracks open as it dries and swells when it is wet, and that movement stresses pipe under and beside a slab. Shreveport's own sewer programme lists shifting soil among the reasons buried pipes crack. Older copper and galvanized lines fail first. We are committed to making slab leak repair in Shreveport simple and reliable.
Repair Options
Once a slab leak is located, there are usually three ways to fix it. A spot repair opens the slab at the leak and replaces the damaged section. A reroute abandons the line under the slab and runs a new one through the walls or attic. A repipe replaces the water lines altogether, which makes sense when the pipe is failing in several places. Our team explains the trade-offs of each so the decision is yours. Our team is fully committed to reliable slab leak repair in Shreveport.
Signs Of A Hidden Leak
- A water bill that climbs with no change in use
- The meter moving, or its leak indicator turning, with everything off
- A warm or damp spot on the floor
- Damp drywall, peeling paint or a musty smell
- The sound of running water when no tap is open
- Low water pressure or a patch of yard that stays wet
The City of Shreveport's water department suggests the same meter check, and it names running toilets, dripping faucets and sprinkler systems as common sources. When you need leak detection in Shreveport, our team is ready to help.
Wall, Ceiling And Yard Leaks
Not every hidden leak is under the slab. Supply lines in walls and attics can split after a hard freeze, and the service line between the meter and the house can leak in the yard for weeks before anyone notices. During the December 2022 freeze, the city reported a substantial number of private service lines blowing out across Shreveport. Our plumbers trace these leaks the same careful way. Our team is focused on high-quality leak repair across Shreveport.
Why Call Us
Because a leak that is located precisely costs less disruption than one that is guessed at. Our team does not open a floor or a wall until the leak has been found, and we explain what failed and why. If the pipe is failing in several places, we will say so and talk you through repiping. Reliable leak detection, handled by professionals and completed properly, at a fair and reasonable price, is what we strive for.
