Slab Leak Repair in Houston, Texas 77001
50% of housing is detached houses.
Free to homeowners in Houston — the contractor pays us for the introduction, you never do.
The short answer
In Houston, 50% of housing is detached. A slab leak is located by listening and correlation before any floor is opened, and a meter that moves with the house shut off proves a leak exists but not where it is.

50% of the housing in Houston is detached houses, which is the kind of building a slab leak happens under.
What this site is
UnderSlab is a referral service, not a contractor. We connect homeowners with independent contractors. Contractors are required to hold whatever credential their state or municipality demands, and work that opens a structural slab is normally permitted — ask to see the permit. We carry out no work and no leak detection, we do not set prices, and we never charge homeowners anything — the contractors in our network pay us when we route them a call.Houston in numbers

It is found by listening first
Correlation and acoustic listening locate a leak before anything is opened. Opening the floor to find it, rather than to fix it, is the expensive order to do this in.
What a reading cannot tell you
A meter that keeps moving with the house shut off proves a leak exists. It does not prove where, and it does not prove it is under the slab.
