Professional Leak Detection • Plano, Texas
Leak Detection in Plano, TX | Slab, Pool, Water & Gas Leaks
Lone Star Leak Locators helps Plano homeowners locate hidden slab leaks, pool leaks, underground water leaks, and gas leaks before unnecessary concrete cutting, digging, or demolition begins.
We use acoustic listening equipment, electronic leak detection, pressure testing, system isolation, and professional diagnostic methods to narrow down the source of concealed leaks and help make the repair as targeted as possible.
Leak Warning Signs
What’s happening at your Plano property?
You usually notice the symptom before you know where the leak is. These are some of the most common reasons Plano homeowners call us.
Plano Leak Detection
Find the Leak Before You Start Tearing Up the Property.
When water is appearing inside a home, a pool is continually losing water, or a plumbing system will not hold pressure, the location of the leak may not be obvious.
Water can travel beneath a concrete slab, through soil, along pipe penetrations, and through wall cavities before becoming visible. The place where you see water is not always the place where the pipe is leaking.
That is why professional leak detection in Plano, TX should come before unnecessary demolition whenever the source of the leak is concealed.
The Goal
Reduce the Search Area.
Leak detection is a diagnostic process designed to answer two important questions:
1. Is the system actually leaking?
2. Where is the most likely location of that leak?
The more accurately the problem is narrowed down before repair work starts, the less unnecessary concrete cutting, tunneling, excavation, drywall removal, or pool-deck removal may be required.

Slab, Pool, Water & Gas Leak Detection in Plano
Different types of leaks require different diagnostic methods. We test the system involved instead of treating every leak the same way.
Slab Leak Detection in Plano
A slab leak occurs when a pressurized water line beneath or within the concrete foundation develops a leak.
Because the piping is concealed, water may travel underneath the foundation before appearing inside the home.
- High or unexplained water bills
- Water meter movement with fixtures off
- Warm areas on the floor
- Water near baseboards or flooring
- Running-water sounds
- Pressure loss
Pool Leak Detection in Plano
Swimming pools can lose water through underground plumbing, skimmers, return lines, suction lines, water features, equipment, fittings, or structural areas.
Testing individual lines can help isolate which part of the pool system is actually losing pressure before the pool deck is opened.
- Return-line pressure testing
- Suction-line testing
- Skimmer investigation
- Pool equipment inspection
- Underground plumbing diagnostics
- Leak-location testing
Water Leak Detection in Plano
Not every hidden water leak is underneath the foundation. Underground service lines, yard lines, concealed interior piping, fittings, and connections can also develop leaks.
Leak detection can help narrow the damaged area before a large trench is dug across the property.
- Meter-to-house water lines
- Underground yard leaks
- Hidden plumbing leaks
- Pressure-loss diagnostics
- Acoustic leak detection
- Electronic locating
Gas Leak Detection in Plano
Gas piping systems can develop leaks at fittings, valves, risers, appliance connections, underground piping, and concealed sections of the system.
Pressure testing and system isolation can help identify which section of gas piping is losing pressure so the repair can be targeted.
- Gas pressure testing
- System isolation
- Valve and fitting investigation
- Accessible piping inspection
- Underground gas-line diagnostics
- Leak-area identification
Locate First
Don’t Start Cutting Concrete Based on a Guess.
Under-Slab Leaks
If a water line is several feet underneath a concrete foundation, opening the wrong area can add significant excavation and restoration costs.
The goal of slab leak detection is to reduce that search area before concrete is cut or tunneling begins.
Underground Pool Leaks
The same principle applies to swimming pools. Breaking several areas of pool deck while searching for a leaking line can become far more expensive than testing and locating the problem first.
Identifying which plumbing line is leaking gives the repair contractor a much better place to start.

Plano Leak Detection FAQ
Common Questions About Finding Hidden Leaks.
How do you find a slab leak in Plano?
Slab leak detection can involve checking water-meter activity, testing plumbing pressure, isolating portions of the system, acoustic listening, electronic equipment, and other diagnostic methods. The exact process depends on the plumbing layout and type of piping.
Can you locate a slab leak before cutting the concrete?
That is the objective. We perform diagnostic testing before repair work begins so the suspected location can be narrowed down before concrete cutting or tunneling.
How do I know whether my Plano pool is leaking?
Some evaporation is normal, especially during hot Texas weather. Persistent water loss beyond expected evaporation, frequent refilling, wet areas around the pool, or pressure loss in individual plumbing lines can indicate a leak.
Can you find an underground water-line leak?
Yes. Depending on the pipe material, property conditions, leak size, soil, and system layout, pressure testing and professional locating methods can help narrow down an underground water leak.
Do you perform gas leak detection in Plano?
Yes. We can test suspected gas-piping leaks and help identify which portion of the system is losing pressure.
What should I do if I smell natural gas?
If you smell natural gas or believe there is an active gas emergency, leave the affected area and contact the gas utility or emergency services from a safe location. Routine leak-location work should not delay an emergency response.
Do you provide a report after leak detection?
Clear findings can be documented so you have information showing what was tested, what was observed, and the suspected leak location or affected system.
Do you offer same-day leak detection in Plano?
Same-day appointments may be available depending on the day’s schedule and the type of leak being investigated. Call or text 972-333-5448 to check current Plano availability.
