Answered 24 hours a day, every day.
Why more recent houses leak differently
Most Keller homes were built from the 1980s onward and use PEX supply lines. PEX is flexible. It handles soil movement better than rigid copper and uses fewer joints under the slab. When a PEX home leaks, the cause is more frequently a single fitting that was not fully seated, a line nicked during framing or a connection under strain than general wear.
The signs are the same: a warm spot, a rising bill, a hiss at night. The search follows the same measures. See PEX slab leaks.
A local crew describes what happens next.
Soil under Keller
Keller is in north Tarrant County, where the clay of the east meets sandier, rockier soil to the west. Lots are frequently big, with irrigation and sometimes a pool. Older homes from the 1980s may have copper under the slab. A technician verifies what a home has.
Irrigation, pools and the yard line
Large lots mean long lines. The line from the meter to the home can leak without any sign inside. Irrigation and pool fill lines move the meter too. A technician rules those out before looking under the slab. See pool and irrigation leaks vs. slab leaks. This site does not repair pools or irrigation.

Before the crew reaches Keller
The first thing the line asks a Keller caller is the ZIP code, so the call reaches a crew that already works in Tarrant County. A call from Keller 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 , Keller house, the location of the water heater is also useful. Write down any past plumbing work on the house. Earlier repairs in a Keller home tell a crew where lines have already been opened or rerouted.
Most visits in Keller start with a pressure test to confirm a leak, then move to listening equipment and thermal imaging to narrow down where it is. On shifting clay soil, a crew may run more than one test, because moisture in the soil can spread away from the actual break.
Evening and weekend calls from Keller are answered the same way as weekday ones, though the visit time depends on which crew is nearby. Crews that also cover Southlake and Grapevine plan their routes around urgent calls first, so describe the situation plainly.
If the hot side is leaking, closing the cold supply valve on the water heater can slow the loss until a Tarrant County crew arrives. Keep pets and children away from any warm patch of floor in the Keller house until the cause is known.
Homes in ZIPs 76244 and 76248 are covered from the same 24-hour line as the rest of Tarrant County. Homes in Keller and nearby Southlake share much of the same ground, so a crew that works here regularly knows what to expect under the slab.
Once the leak is located, the crew explains the repair options for that Keller home and what each involves, before any work is scheduled. You will usually get a description of where the leak is, which line it is on, and whether a spot repair, reroute or repipe makes sense for a , house.
If you have the original plans or an old inspection report for the Keller house, they can show where lines were laid. Pipe material in a , Keller home affects which repair makes sense later, so the crew notes it during testing.
A Tarrant County crew used to shifting clay soil knows how far moisture can travel from a break before it shows.
