Water & Gas Line Repair in Waco, TX

Our experienced plumbers specialize in gas and water leak testing. All ABC plumbers are fully licensed to perform leak testing and repair any issues.

If you have a gas leak, the most common clue is the smell of gas. As you probably know, great care needs to be taken with gas leaks, and both ABC and your local gas utility may work on your problem jointly. If your gas has been shut off by the utility, ABC can perform the necessary repairs and coordinate with the gas company to have your system inspected and turned back on. The inspection to re-establish service is a mandatory process when the gas company has been called out to turn off the system. Gas companies typically will not perform repairs on the residential side of a gas system and will refer you to a licensed plumber to perform work at your home. Once work is performed and the gas company inspects the repair, they will turn your system back on.

With a water leak, the main symptoms are soft, wet spots in the yard or visible water standing or running down driveways and sidewalks. Another clue may be a sudden, substantial increase in water bills. If you suspect a water leak, contact ABC, and we’ll find the source, price the repairs and have you back to normal as quickly as possible. It’s also worth noting that some utilities will credit an excessive water bill with proof provided that there was a leak, and a plumber inspected and repaired the problem. Be sure to save all paperwork from your ABC plumber for proof!

ABC is a slab leak specialist. Slab leaks are the most damaging type of residential leak, so call us right away if you have sunken spots in your slab or buckling of floorboards, wet slab or carpet, or unexplained high water bills. These can all be signs of a serious water leak. However, most water leaks are not necessarily slab leaks. The most common type of leak is where the water pipe (commonly, PVC pipe) from the utility supply line attaches to the copper fitting at the edge of a home’s slab. This is commonly mistaken for a slab leak because of its proximity to the slab.

Other types of leaks can come from damage to the pipe from ground-shifting with weather changes or someone working in the yard and accidentally puncturing the water line. Contact ABC for any suspected water leak, and we’ll determine the true nature of the leak.
