Key Takeaways
Leak Detection in Waco, TX
Notice a spike in your water bill? Or maybe you've spotted moisture around your home? Whatever the case, if you suspect you have a leak, quickly finding and fixing it to minimize damage is something that's often best left to the professionals. When in need of leak detection, Waco homeowners turn to ABC Home & Commercial Services to get the job done.
Our licensed plumbing specialists use a variety of technical tools to accurately pinpoint where a leak is located on your property. After we gather all the needed information from you about your situation, we will get started with our inspection. During this time, your specialist will start by checking fixtures, sinks, irrigation systems and pool systems to rule out leaks from these sources. Your ABC plumber may then check the water manifolds within your wall, isolating each water supply line to determine which one is leaking. We also have ground microphones and acoustic discs that allow us to hear through the concrete slab to help us determine if you have a slab leak.

A slab leak typically occurs when copper pipes become corroded over time. This problem usually starts as a pinhole leak which becomes bigger and bigger. Another reason a slab leak might develop is that the water in your area is particularly hard, which can corrode your pipes at a faster rate. If left unattended, a slab leak could cause the soil around your home to become saturated with water, which in turn can result in water damage, mold growth and even pest problems.
You may have a slab leak if:
- you have seen a spike in your water bill
- water is pooling around the foundation of your home
- your flooring is damp
- your sheetrock or ceiling is cracking
- your water pressure is abnormally low
- your windows and doors aren’t closing properly
You could even see more than some combination of these signs. Because this is a serious plumbing problem, it’s important to get in touch with a professional promptly if you suspect you have this type of leak so you can avoid further damage.
Certainly! Our plumbers will take the steps necessary to fix nearly any leak you have on your property, from a leaking toilet, sink or even a slab leak.

What Our Customers Are Saying

“My plumber Daniel was 6 star worthy. After a horrible experience with another plumber, I gave ABC a try. I got a new propane water heater installed IN THE SAME DAY. Called at 11am, new water heater installed by 6pm, and hot water was back by 630pm. Daniel was kind, knowledgeable, reassuring, and thoughtful. He quickly troubleshot the issue and gave me options with caveats so that I could make an informed decision. And he didn't just focus on the issue at hand (just the new tank). He made sure that all the pieces and fittings of my system would be safe, operational, and reliable. If Daniel is any reflection of ABC has a whole, then this company is amazing. The receptionists and schedulers were also extremely kind and efficient.”

“Mason was amazing! He did a great water softener & whole house filter install and spent the time to go over all the instructions on how to use it. I had been wanting to do this for over a year and finally was able to get it all arranged. I will say, once the techs come out, they are great, knowledgeable and down to earth. Sometimes dealing with the office for quotes and back and forth between reception and management is a bit of a challenge but again, once they came out, assessed and quoted, I was very happy an went ahead with the install. My advice to others is to overlook some of the office back and forth and talk to the onsite techs. They rock”
