What's included in a leak repair call
Every leak repair starts with detection and ends with a pressure test. What happens in between depends on where the leak is and what material failed.
Work order
Leak Repair- Leak detection and location: Acoustic listening, thermal imaging, and pressure isolation to pinpoint the leak before we open anything. You get the confirmed location and the method we used to find it, so you know we're not guessing.
- Access and cutout: We open the wall, floor, or yard section needed to reach the failed pipe. On slab jobs that means a controlled cut through the concrete. We keep the access as small as the repair allows and protect surrounding surfaces while we work.
- Pipe and fitting replacement: The failed section gets cut out and replaced with matching material: copper, PEX, PVC, or CPVC. New fittings, proper solder or crimp connections, and correct support so the new section doesn't rub or stress.
- Pressure test and meter check: We pressurize the repaired line and hold it, then recheck the meter with all fixtures off to confirm zero movement. If the line won't hold pressure, we keep working until it does. You get the test reading before we close up.
- Cleanup and photo record: Debris gets hauled out and surfaces get wiped down. You receive photos of the repair and the pressure test, which is useful documentation for insurance claims or future work on the same line.

What leak repair New Braunfels TX really involves
A leak fixed right the first time costs far less than the damage it causes when it's ignored. We find the source, repair the line, and prove it holds before we leave.
Leak repair New Braunfels TX is the process of locating water escaping from a pressurized supply line, drain, or fixture and restoring that line to a sealed, code-correct condition. It starts with leak detection equipment, not guesswork. We use acoustic listening discs, thermal imaging, and pressure isolation to pinpoint the break, then open only the wall, slab, or yard section that actually needs work. Copper pipe gets soldered or coupled, PEX tubing gets crimped with a PEX crimping tool, and PVC or CPVC drains get cut and re-glued with proper fittings.
In New Braunfels, the calls we run most are slab leaks under post-tension foundations, irrigation line breaks after summer heat cycles, and supply line failures behind kitchen cabinets. Limestone soil and expansive clay move with our wet-dry swings, and that movement stresses buried pipe until something gives. If you've noticed a hot spot on the floor, the sound of running water with everything off, or a water bill that jumped 30 percent, that's usually a hidden leak. We also handle emergency leak repair New Braunfels calls when a line lets go at 2 a.m.

How our leak repair process works
Every job follows the same sequence, whether it's a dripping supply line under a sink or a slab leak in a River Chase home.
Tools and methods we use on leak calls
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
Shows temperature differences in floors and walls. Hot water leaks read as warm spots, and slab leaks often show a distinct thermal signature.
Lets us see inside drain and sewer lines to find cracks, root intrusion, and collapsed sections without digging.
Clears grease, scale, and roots from drain lines at high pressure so we can inspect and repair the pipe underneath.
Makes code-correct crimp connections on PEX tubing, which is what we use for most supply line repairs and repipes.
When to call for leak repair
You hear water running when every fixture in the house is off, and the meter is still spinning.
That's a pressurized supply leak somewhere in the system.
HomesThere's a warm spot on the floor near the water heater or under a bathroom, and it's getting bigger.
A warm spot usually means a hot water line is leaking under the slab.
HomesYour water bill doubled with no change in usage, and you can't find any visible leak.
Hidden leaks are the usual cause.
HomesA pipe burst during a freeze and water is actively running into a wall or under the house.
Shut off the main first, then call. We prioritize active flooding calls, get the line isolated, and replace the burst section.

How leak repair runs in New Braunfels
New Braunfels sits on limestone and expansive clay, and that soil moves with our wet-dry cycles.
Downtown New Braunfels
Older housing stock with original galvanized and copper lines. Leaks here often trace back to pipe that's 50-plus years old and corroded from the inside out.
Gruene
Historic homes with mature trees. Root intrusion in sewer laterals is common, and so are supply line failures from aging pipe.
River Chase
Slab-on-grade homes on limestone. Post-tension slabs mean we plan cutouts carefully and avoid tension cables when we open the floor.

- Gruene
- River Chase
- Vintage Oaks
- Veramendi

PhotoSlab leak under a kitchen floor
Before: The hot water line under the slab had a pinhole leak that was saturating the soil under the foundation.
After: We located the leak with thermal imaging, cut a 2-foot section of slab, replaced the failed copper with PEX, and pressure tested the line. Total job took about six hours. The floor was patched the next day and the water bill dropped back to normal the following cycle.
Burst pipe after a hard freeze
Before: A Gruene home had a supply line in an exterior wall burst during a freeze. Water ran into the wall cavity for hours before the homeowner noticed a stain spreading on the ceiling below.
After: We shut off the main, opened the wall at the burst point, and replaced the failed section with PEX. The line was pressure tested and held. We left the wall open for the homeowner's drywall guy and documented the repair with photos for the insurance claim.
Sewer line root intrusion
Before: A Downtown New Braunfels rental had slow drains throughout the house and a sewage smell in the backyard. The sewer camera showed roots growing into the lateral at a joint about 20 feet from the house.
After: We cleared the line with a hydro jetting machine, cut out the root-damaged section, and replaced it with new PVC. Camera confirmed a clean line after the repair. Drains ran full speed and the smell was gone.
Leak problems we solve for New Braunfels homes
Most leaks announce themselves in ways homeowners miss until the damage is done.
Slab leak under a post-tension foundation
Water migrates through the concrete and into flooring, baseboards, and sometimes the foundation itself.
Burst pipe after a hard freeze
A burst line dumps water fast, often inside a wall where you can't see it until the ceiling stains or the floor buckles.
Root intrusion in a sewer lateral
Roots find the smallest crack in a sewer line and grow into it. The result is slow drains, backups, and sewage seeping into the yard.
Failing supply lines under sinks and toilets
Old braided or plastic supply lines crack at the ferrule and drip into the cabinet.

What New Braunfels customers say
Comal Crest came out, used a thermal camera, and found a slab leak within about an hour. They jackhammered a small section, replaced the copper line with PEX, and pressure tested it before closing it up. Floor's dry, bill's back to normal.
A supply line under our guest bathroom sink let go on a Saturday morning. They had a tech out by early afternoon, shut off the line, and replaced the fitting and the shutoff valve while they were in there. Clean work, no mess left behind, and the price matched the quote exactly.
We manage several older rental properties near downtown, and leaks are a constant. Comal Crest has handled slab leaks, a burst pipe during the freeze, and a sewer line break for us. They document everything with photos and give us a written report for the owner. That's why we keep calling them.

Water leak repair New Braunfels Texas requires knowing whether the leak is on a pressurized supply line, a drain, or a slab line, because each one gets a different repair method.
Shut off the main at the meter or the house valve first, then open a low faucet to drain pressure. That stops the flow and limits damage while you wait. Don't crank the valve hard if it's old, because a stuck gate valve can snap. Once it's off, call us and we'll find the source and repair the line.
Yes. Burst pipes, failed water heater connections, and slab leaks that are actively flooding get priority dispatch. Call us and describe what you're seeing. If water is running and you can't stop it, shut off the main first, then call. We'll get a tech out and get the line isolated.
