Local notes
Two things make these neighbourhoods different: the size of the lots and the age of the trees. A long water line from the meter to a house set back from the road gives a leak plenty of places to hide, and mature oaks send roots into clay sewer joints in every dry spell. Castle Hills and Shavano Park are separate cities with their own inspection requirements, and we handle that on work that needs a permit.
Yard leak or house leak?
Close the shut-off at the house and watch the meter. If it keeps moving, the water is going out between the meter and the house — a water line repair, not an indoor one. If it stops, the leak is inside or under the slab. Either way, leak detection pinpoints it before any digging starts.

What it costs
Prices do not change by neighbourhood — they change with the job. We tell you the call-out charge on the phone, and your plumber gives you a firm price before any work starts. See typical San Antonio prices.
Questions people ask
My bill doubled but the house looks dry — where is it?
On these lots, usually the yard line or the irrigation system. The meter test tells us which, and locating equipment finds the spot without trenching the whole run.
Will you need to dig up the lawn?
Not the whole lawn. We locate the leak first so the excavation is a small area, and we put the ground back.
Do you handle Hollywood Park too?
Yes, along with Castle Hills, Shavano Park and the 78213, 78230, 78231 and 78232 zips.
