What Boerne homes sit on
Boerne is a Kendall County city in the Hill Country, with a historic Main Street, older homes and more recent subdivisions on rocky soil.
Boerne sits where limestone is close to the surface. Slabs are commonly poured on a prepared bed over rock, and lots may slope. Water in this part of Texas is hard. Mineral scale can build up inside lines, and in copper houses it is one factor technicians consider when pinhole leaks recur.
The lines under Boerne homes
Neighbors in Boerne can have varied plumbing, because builders and later repairs changed materials over the years.
A home that has had repairs may have more than one material, joined by transition fittings.
What steers a repair is where the leak is, how many have occurred and what sits above the line.
What homeowners notice first
A slab leak hides under concrete, so the first clue is typically indirect. The first sign might be a bill, a warm tile or a quiet hiss.
A damp patch at a baseboard can be far from the leak, since water travels under a slab and rises where it finds a way. Only a technician can confirm the cause, and the leak is located before any floor is opened.
Say where it is and how long it has been warm.
Living with a slab in Boerne
The older center has homes from the early 1900s, many raised on piers over a crawlspace instead of a slab. A supply leak in a raised home is under the floor but reachable from below. Tell the technician which parts are raised.
Lots here are often larger, and the line from the meter to the house is a place a leak can hide. It does not involve the slab. Walk the line looking for wet ground or grass greener than the rest, and listen at the meter box. This site does not repair pools or irrigation.
A local crew describes what happens next.
How technicians pinpoint it
The first step is isolation: closing valves to learn which line is losing water, next pressure testing that line. The aim is to know where to open before any opening is made. See how slab leaks are found.
Tell us what was repaired before.
First steps at home
Close all water use in the home and monitor the meter. Movement means a leak, though it may not be under the slab.
If the Boerne floor is wet, close the main if it is safe, protect valuables and call. Do not try to open the floor yourself. See water meter leak check. A local crew covering Bexar County can walk you through the next step.

What a visit in Boerne involves
On a call from Boerne, expect questions about where the home is, what you noticed and when it began. That short conversation is how a Bexar County crew decides what to bring. A call from Boerne starts with three questions: the street or ZIP, what you have seen, and how long it has been going on. The answers shape the first visit.
Have the meter reading you took close by, along with a note of which rooms feel warm or damp. In a mid-century Boerne house, the location of the water heater is also useful. It helps to know roughly when the house was built. Boerne homes from different decades often have different pipe under the slab, and that changes the test.
In Boerne, the crew marks the likely leak point on the floor once the tests agree. Nothing is opened until that point is confirmed.

Asked by Boerne callers
Only the meter check. Avoid cutting into the Boerne slab yourself, as it can do damage and still miss the leak. Call and a crew will locate it first. The crew covering Boerne will want to know what you have already tried.
After the repair, a flooring contractor handles the floor and a restoration company handles drying. This site connects you with leak crews and does not do either. Many Bexar County homeowners line up flooring work only after the leak is confirmed fixed.
The call starts with what you noticed, then we connect you with a local crew. The crew explains what to expect, including how long locating the leak most commonly takes for your home.
Not always. Sunlight and heating vents can warm a Boerne floor as well. When a spot stays warm out of the sun and with the heating off, and it traces a path, a hot-water leak is one possible cause. The 24-hour line takes calls from Boerne as well.
No. Before any opening in Boerne, the search moves from isolation and pressure tests to acoustic and thermal checks, which narrow the location without always pinning it exactly. A crew serving Boerne can explain what this means for an older copper-plumbed house.
No. The leak is a plumbing issue, and that is where a crew starts. Foundation questions go to a foundation contractor, since this site does not assess them.
Yes. Outdoor water use can look like a leak on the Boerne meter, so irrigation and taps are checked first.
In Boerne, drain leaks do not follow the water supply, can leave a damp patch or a smell without a bill increase, and are found by isolating and testing the drain system. Phones are answered around the clock for Bexar County calls.
Often close to the surface. A technician locates a leak first and the cause follows from what is found.
