What Manor homes sit on
Manor is a modest Travis County city east of Austin with new subdivisions on clay.
Manor sits on clay-rich soil. Through wet and dry seasons the clay moves, and the slab and the lines under it move with it. None of this is a finding about a foundation. A leak is a plumbing issue, and foundation questions go to a foundation contractor.
The lines under Manor homes
In Manor, more recent construction on slabs mostly uses PEX, which flexes with soil movement better than rigid copper.
Because PEX seldom wears through, a leak in a more recent home tends to begin suddenly rather than gradually.
If the Manor home is still under a builder warranty, check what it covers and call the builder as well. A leak technician can locate and document the leak.
What homeowners notice first
Homeowners are inclined to notice a Manor slab leak because of the bill, a warm spot or a damp patch at a baseboard. The crew covering Manor will want to know what you have already tried.
In Manor, a water heater that runs more than usual may be replacing hot water that is leaking away. A technician confirms the cause, and no floor is opened until the leak is located. For recently built homes on clay that shrinks and swells, this is one of the first things a crew asks about.
Say where it is and how long it has been warm.
Living with a slab in Manor
Recent construction indicates PEX and fewer joints under the slab, and builder warranties that may still apply. Read your warranty before anyone opens a floor, and call the builder as well as us. A technician can locate and document the leak.
Long yard lines are a common source on larger lots. A technician checks them early with a pressure test between the meter and the Manor house. A damp patch or unusually green strip along the line, or hissing at the meter box, are clues. 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, then pressure testing that line. Listening gear and a thermal camera narrow the search to a small area before anything is opened.
Tell us what was repaired before.
First steps at home
Turn off everything that uses water, including the ice maker and any irrigation, and monitor the Manor meter’s leak indicator or low-flow dial for a few minutes. A local crew covering Travis County can walk you through the next step.
If the Manor 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. For a newer PEX-plumbed house, a Manor crew can explain what this means.
Tell us what you have noticed so far.

Asked by Manor callers
You describe what you noticed, and we connect you with a local crew. The crew explains what to expect, including how long locating the leak typically takes for your Manor house. Mention that the home is on shifting clay soil when you call from Manor.
Only the meter check. Do not cut into a Manor slab, since that can cause damage and still miss the leak. Call and a crew will locate it first. On expansive clay, a slow leak can run for weeks before other signs show, so the meter check is worth doing early.
No. In Manor, isolation, pressure tests, acoustic listening and thermal imaging narrow the search before anything is opened, though the result is not always one exact point. With expansive clay underfoot, Manor crews look along the entire line.
Shut off every tap and water appliance, then watch the meter. Movement means a leak somewhere on the Manor property. The 24-hour line takes calls from Manor as well.
No. A leak in Manor is a plumbing matter first. For the foundation itself, talk to a foundation contractor, as this site does not assess it. Travis County foundation contractors handle the structural side.
A leak is one possible reason. Other causes include irrigation and toilets that run, and the meter check separates those from a leak. A hidden leak shows first on the usage line. In Travis County, crews plan the visit around what you describe on the call.
No. In Manor, isolation, pressure tests, acoustic listening and thermal imaging narrow the search before anything is opened, though the result is not always one exact point. With expansive clay underfoot, Manor crews look along the entire line.
In Manor, many are. PEX houses usually leak at one fitting or a damaged spot, not from general wear.
Not always. Sun through a window or a nearby vent can warm a Manor floor just as easily. A spot that stays warm in shade and with the heating off, and that follows a line, can point to a hot-water leak. Most newer houses in Travis County can be tested without moving furniture far.
