Most homes in Richardson, Plano, Frisco, McKinney and Allen are built on concrete slab foundations, with water lines running underneath. When one of those lines leaks, the water can go unnoticed for weeks – soaking the soil, raising your bill and potentially affecting flooring and the foundation. Chrome Heating & Air Conditioning finds slab leaks and repairs them, with an upfront price before any work starts.
Warning signs of a slab leak
- A water bill that jumps without a change in how you use water.
- Warm or hot spots on the floor, often a sign of a leaking hot-water line.
- The sound of running water when every fixture is off.
- Damp carpet, warped wood or cracked tile with no obvious source.
- The water meter keeps moving when all water in the house is turned off.
- Low water pressure or a water heater that seems to run constantly.
A quick check you can do
Turn off every faucet, appliance and irrigation zone, then look at your water meter. If it’s still moving, water is going somewhere. That doesn’t prove it’s a slab leak, but it’s a good reason to call.
How we find the leak
Our job is to pinpoint the leak before anyone breaks concrete. We isolate hot and cold lines, test the system and narrow down the location so the repair is as targeted as possible.
Repair options
Depending on where the leak is and the condition of your pipes, repair options can include:
- Spot repair – accessing the leak through the slab and repairing that section.
- Rerouting the line – running a new line through walls or the attic and abandoning the leaking section.
- Repiping – when several leaks or aging pipe make one repair a short-term fix.
We explain each option, and you get an upfront price before any work starts.
Costs and financing
The diagnostic is $89, waived when you go ahead with the repair. Slab leak repairs can be significant, so we offer 100% financing with no money down on approved credit.
Hot-water slab leaks and your water heater
