Slab Leak Detection and Repair
We locate the leak through the concrete slab using electronic listening devices, then cut a small access hole to replace the damaged pipe section and patch the floor.
Bee Cave homeowners call us for reliable plumbing repairs and installations. We provide clear estimates and quality workmanship for everything from gas line repairs to drain cleaning. Our team is committed to serving the Bee Cave community with the same care we give our Austin customers.
Bee Cave sits on the western edge of the Hill Country, where limestone bedrock and steep slopes shape every foundation. The housing here leans toward newer custom builds and larger lots, with many homes using private wells and septic systems. Our crew knows that a slab leak or a gas line repair in this terrain often means working around rocky soil and tight crawl spaces. The summer heat and occasional freeze-thaw cycles put extra stress on outdoor pipes and water heaters, so we see a fair share of burst lines and sediment buildup.
We roll into Bee Cave with a full truck and a plan for the day. Our team sets up drop cloths and shoe covers to keep the inside clean, and we always park so we don't block the narrow driveways common in the newer subdivisions. Because we're based just down the road in Austin, we can get to Bee Cave fast and bring the right parts without a second trip. We leave the job site tidy, haul away old fixtures, and give you a straight answer on what we found and what it'll take to fix it.

Limestone soil shifts and settles, pulling pipes with it. We locate slab leaks and underground breaks using electronic detection, then dig only where needed.
Many Bee Cave homes run on propane or natural gas for heating and cooking. We test for leaks, replace corroded lines, and reconnect appliances safely.
Hard water from the Edwards Aquifer fills tanks with sediment. We install tankless and traditional units, flushing the system to match local water conditions.
Tree roots from live oaks and cedars invade clay pipes. We use a camera to inspect and a hydro-jet to clear blockages without damaging the line.
We locate the leak through the concrete slab using electronic listening devices, then cut a small access hole to replace the damaged pipe section and patch the floor.
We run a new black iron or flexible gas line from the meter to the kitchen, pressure-test the system, and connect the appliance with a shut-off valve and drip leg.
We remove the old tank, install a gas or electric tankless unit, upsize the gas line or electrical circuit, and set the venting to meet current code.
Mixed-use developments with condos and townhomes. We handle water heater replacements and drain clogs in tight mechanical closets, coordinating with HOA access rules.
Older lakefront homes and newer estates on large lots. Our crew works on slab leaks and gas line repairs where the ground slopes toward the lake, requiring careful excavation.
Rural properties with private wells and septic systems. We repair well pump connections and sewer line breaks, often running long hose lengths to reach the house.
Most plumbing work in Bee Cave requires a permit from the City of Bee Cave Building Department. Homeowners should confirm whether their project needs one before work begins, especially for gas lines and water heaters.
If you are the property owner, you can pull the permit yourself, but many homeowners prefer to have the contractor handle it. Check with the building department about any homeowner-occupancy rules for plumbing work.

“We found a very slow plumbing leak downstairs, and my husband has been extra busy with work lately, so we needed a plumber to take care of it. Chris arrived a little early and got right to checking the leak. He was friendly, experienced, and explained clearly what plumbing repair would be needed. Before leaving, he asked if there was anything else that needed attention, so I mentioned that our kitchen faucet had been dripping for a long time. He handled that faucet repair right away, and the price was fair and reasonable.”

Everything was explained clearly, the work was done efficiently, and the service always felt honest and dependable.”
