Plumbing for Hurst's mid-century homes Hidden Water Leak Detection for Hurst Homes Built in the '50s and '60s
Much of Hurst was built in the 1950s and 1960s, when builders ran galvanized steel supply lines and cast iron drains under slab foundations. More than sixty years later, that pipe is rusting from the inside, and the leaks rarely show up where you can see them. The first signs are often a warm spot on the floor, a water bill that keeps creeping up, or a meter that keeps spinning with every faucet off.
Our hidden water leak detection uses acoustic listening gear, pressure testing, and thermal imaging to find a leak under the slab or behind drywall without tearing up rooms to look for it. The mature live oaks and pecans that shade the neighborhoods off Precinct Line Road and Pipeline Road also send roots into old cast iron sewer lines. When a drain keeps backing up, we pair leak detection with a sewer camera inspection, show you the footage, and give you a written price before any work begins.
