Leak Detection in Cibolo, TX

Hidden leaks don't announce themselves. They develop behind walls, under foundations, above ceilings, and underground, and by the time you see the damage, it's usually already expensive. Steel Plumbing is a family-owned Cibolo plumbing company led by Master Plumber Bryan Williams. We pinpoint the source of hidden leaks and repair them, so you're not left guessing.

Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak

Most hidden leaks give clues before they cause major damage. If you notice any of these, it's time for a professional leak inspection:

  • A sudden jump in your water bill. If your usage climbs and your habits haven't changed, water may be escaping somewhere in your system.
  • Low water pressure. Unexplained pressure drops can mean water is leaking before it reaches your fixtures.
  • Stains, peeling paint, or bubbling drywall. These often show up far from the actual leak, so the stain alone won't tell you where the pipe is failing.
  • Damp floors, walls, or cabinets. Moisture with no obvious source is a classic sign of a concealed leak.
  • Mold, mildew, or musty odors. Even a small leak creates constant moisture, which mold loves. If you smell it or see it and can't find the cause, a leak may be behind it.
  • The sound of running water when everything is off. If you hear water moving and no fixture is in use, something is leaking.
  • Warm spots on the floor. This could indicate a hot water line leaking beneath a slab.
  • Foundation cracks or shifting. Long-term slab leaks can erode the soil under a foundation, so it's worth ruling one out.

Detection itself is minimally invasive, but repairs sometimes require access to the pipe, such as opening a small section of drywall or working through the slab. We'll always tell you what to expect before we start.

How We Find & Fix Hidden Leaks

Good leak detection is about finding the problem accurately, not opening up walls and hoping. Here's how a typical visit works:

  1. We listen to your story. Where have you seen moisture? When did the bill change? Your answers narrow the search.
  2. We inspect and test your system. We use plumbing camera inspections to locate the leak with as little disruption to your property as possible.
  3. We explain what we found. You'll see where the leak is, what caused it, and what your repair options are.
  4. We repair it. Because we're a full-service plumbing company, the same team that finds the leak can fix it, whether that means a pipe repair, a water line replacement, or a section of repiping.

Water line & yard leaks

A wet patch in the yard, a soggy area near the meter, or a sudden pressure loss can point to a damaged underground line. We repair and replace water lines.

Leak Detection FAQs

What is leak detection?
open dropdown
Leak detection is the process of locating a hidden plumbing leak using specialized tools and testing methods, rather than tearing into walls, floors, or landscaping to search for it.
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
open dropdown
Common signs include a rising water bill, low water pressure, damp areas, stains, mold or musty odors, and the sound of running water when nothing is on. A quick test is to shut off all water in your home and check whether your water meter is still moving. If it is, you likely have a leak. A professional inspection can confirm it and find the source.
Can you find slab leaks?
open dropdown
Yes. Slab leaks are one of the most common hidden leaks we investigate, and detection helps us locate the problem so repairs can be targeted rather than exploratory.
How long does leak detection take?
open dropdown
Most inspections take a few hours, depending on the size of the property and how accessible the plumbing is. Complex or hard-to-reach leaks can take longer.
Will leak detection damage my property?
open dropdown
Detection itself is designed to be minimally invasive. Once we find the leak, repairs may require limited access to the pipe, and we'll explain what that involves before any work begins.
Is leak detection worth it?
open dropdown
Usually, yes. Finding and repairing a leak early is typically far less expensive than repairing water damage, mold, or foundation problems later, and it stops water waste in the meantime.
How much does leak detection cost?
open dropdown
Cost depends on the size of the property, how accessible the plumbing is, and the complexity of the leak. There are no service or trip fees within our service area, and we'll give you clear pricing information before starting work. Call (210) 833-4642 or request a free quote.
