Leak Detection in Austin

Austin soil is limestone and caliche—hard to trench and hard on pipe fittings when the ground shifts in drought. Older neighborhoods like Tarrytown and Hyde Park still have original PVC. New builds in Mueller have smart controllers that were never programmed for Texas heat. We schedule by neighborhood so the truck is already on that side of MoPac or 35.

A lateral leak under an Austin lawn can run for weeks before the water bill jumps. Oak roots and limestone shifts split PVC at the fittings. We isolate the run, find the wet spot, cut only what we need, and glue a repair that holds. This page is the leak detection path for Austin.
