Lewisville grew up around Lewisville Lake, and its plumbing reflects decades of building. Ranch homes from the 1960s and 70s stand a few streets from much newer construction, so one neighborhood can hold galvanized steel, mid-era copper, and modern PEX, all aging on different schedules. We plan each visit around the home in front of us.
The lake shapes leak calls here in a quieter way. High groundwater and moisture-holding soil near the shoreline mean a leaking pipe does not always leave the soggy patch homeowners watch for. Water disperses into already damp ground, so the first clue is often the bill or a warm floor, not the yard.
Why do hidden leaks stay hidden longer in Lewisville?
Damp soil hides the evidence. When the ground stays moist most of the year, even a steady pressurized leak may never form a visible puddle. By the time warm water reaches a floor or a bill doubles, the leak has often run for weeks.
Older supply lines add to the pattern. Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside until pinholes form, and copper develops pinhole leaks of its own. Under a slab, either one can feed water into the soil for weeks before anything shows indoors.
The leaks we find most often in Lewisville
Slab leaks top the list in the 1970s through 1990s homes that make up so much of the city. Warm spots on the floor, water sounds with every fixture off, and unexplained cracks in tile all point below the slab. Our slab leak detection marks the exact location acoustically and thermally, so repair work starts at the leak, not at a guess.
Water service lines are the second pattern. The meter-to-house run crosses yards and driveways, and older lines fail at joints and corroded sections. Because lakeside soil stays damp, the classic soggy stripe may never appear. Water line leak detection traces the line and isolates the break, keeping digging to one small area.
Pools are the third. Lewisville has no shortage of backyard pools, and every summer brings the same question: evaporation or leak? Our pool leak detection pressure-tests the plumbing and checks the shell, giving a clear answer.
Older sewer laterals near mature trees round out the list. Roots work into joints in clay and cast iron lines, and damp yards hide the soggy spots that would give them away. Camera inspection with line locating shows where the intrusion sits.
How we locate a leak without tearing things up
Every visit follows the same discipline: listen, test, confirm, mark. Acoustic equipment picks up escaping water, thermal imaging shows temperature changes in floors and walls, and pressure tests isolate the losing line. Only when the evidence points to one spot do we mark it.
You receive written findings describing what we tested, what we found, and where. If a repair is needed, you get an upfront quote before any work is discussed.

We are based in Flower Mound, a short drive from anywhere in Lewisville, and we answer the phone around the clock. A 1972 ranch on a slab gets a different testing plan than a pier-and-beam cottage.
