Slab leaks in Corpus Christi
Homes from 1960 to 1999 make up 52%, above the Texas figure of 50%. That ranks 38th highest of the 90 Texas cities we profile. Hot lines under the slab expand and rub against concrete for decades until a pinhole forms.
Leak detection confirms the leak at the meter, isolates hot from cold, then pinpoints it acoustically so only one small spot is opened, or none if a reroute is the better fix.
In Texas: Rare but severe freezes, like February 2021, burst pipes in homes never built for hard cold.
