Clay soil movement and slab leaks
Harlingen's expansive clay soil shifts with wet and dry cycles throughout the year, and that shifting puts stress on the copper and galvanized lines running underneath slab foundations across the city. Over time, that stress leads to cracked joints and pinhole leaks, especially in homes built before more flexible piping materials became standard.
We use leak detection equipment to find the exact point of the leak under your slab before any concrete is opened, which keeps the repair targeted and limits the disruption to your floor.
