Yes, for scheduled slab leak work. Our shop is at 844 Dalworth Dr in Mesquite, about 40 minutes from McKinney, so we book McKinney jobs as scheduled appointments with a set arrival window rather than emergency dispatch. For an active emergency in McKinney we would rather tell you to call someone closer than have you wait on a truck stuck on 75.

Detection runs $300 to $500. That covers locating the leak with electronic and acoustic equipment and pressure testing so we know the exact spot before any concrete is opened. Repair cost comes as a flat written quote after detection, once we know whether you need a spot repair or a reroute.

McKinney sits on Blackland Prairie clay that swells when wet and shrinks in dry summers. That movement stresses the copper and drain lines running through your slab until a joint cracks or a line rubs through. Hard water from the North Texas Municipal Water District supply adds pinhole corrosion in copper on top of it. Those two causes account for nearly every slab leak we find in McKinney.

Yes. We locate first, then open only the small area directly over the leak. Electronic listening equipment, acoustic sensors, and pressure testing pinpoint the failed section under the slab, so we are not breaking concrete to search for it.

One isolated leak in otherwise sound pipe is usually a spot repair. Repeated leaks, aging copper, or a line that keeps failing point toward a reroute so you are not paying to chase the same problem twice. Detection tells us which situation you actually have before you decide.

Work that removes, replaces, or relocates piping generally requires a residential stand-alone plumbing permit through the City of McKinney Citizen Self-Service portal. Minor leak repair that does not remove, replace, or relocate pipe generally does not. We pull the permit as part of the job.
