Canyon Lake soil and slabs
Canyon Lake is a Comal County lake community with homes on rocky soil and plenty of second homes.
Ground under Canyon Lake is thin soil over limestone in places and clay in others, so two lots on one street can behave differently. A leak technician locates the leak first, and the cause follows from what is found.
Plumbing under the slab in Canyon Lake
In Canyon Lake, a home from the 1960s to the 1980s may have copper under the slab, one from the late 1970s to the mid-1990s may have polybutylene, and more recent ones have PEX. Many Canyon Lake homes from the 1960s to the 1980s have copper under the slab.
Each material has its own failure pattern, which is why the first step is knowing the age of the Canyon Lake home.
If you are unsure of the age or the material, say so when you call. The technician verifies before suggesting anything.
Early signs in Canyon Lake homes
The usual first signs of a Canyon Lake slab leak are a warm spot, a higher bill, a hiss at night or a water heater that keeps running. Most 1960s-80s houses in Comal County can be tested without moving furniture far.
A bill that is higher than the same month last year, with no change in the household, is worth a meter check. Winter months are the cleanest comparison. The cause is confirmed by a technician, and finding the leak always comes before opening a floor.

Canyon Lake at a glance
Lake-area houses are commonly second homes that sit empty for days or weeks, so a leak can run a long time before anyone notices.
Closing the home valve and watching the meter gives a rough response. A dial that keeps moving points to the yard side.

From test to marked spot
Locating a leak starts with the meter and the valves. Sections are shut off one at a time to find which line is leaking. These measures narrow the location to a modest area. They do not always give an exact point, and the technician says how sure the result is. See how slab leaks are found.

Planning a leak visit in Canyon Lake
Someone answers Canyon Lake calls around the clock. A minute or two describing the problem is usually enough for a Comal County crew to plan the trip. The person answering a Canyon Lake call asks for the location, the signs and when they started. That short conversation is how a Comal County crew decides what to bring.
A recent water bill is worth pulling out. A sudden rise on a Canyon Lake account, with no change in use, gives the crew a rough sense of how fast water is escaping. Have the meter reading you took close by, along with a note of which rooms feel warm or damp. In a , Canyon Lake house, the location of the water heater is also useful.
On limestone soil, a crew may run more than one test, because moisture in the soil can spread away from the actual break.
