What Horseshoe Bay homes sit on
Horseshoe Bay is a resort-style community on Lake LBJ with retirement and second homes over granite and limestone.
Rock close to the surface characterizes much of the soil in Horseshoe Bay, with pockets of clay over it. Hard water does not cause a leak on its own and does not mean a home will leak.
The lines under Horseshoe Bay homes
Housing in Horseshoe Bay spans a range of ages, from aging homes to more recent subdivisions, and the pipe material changes with them.
Copper wears where it rubs a hard edge as the soil moves. Polybutylene tends to fail at fittings. PEX typically leaks at a single point.
A second leak in the same house frequently opens a conversation about the rest of the line.
What homeowners notice first
In Horseshoe Bay, a slab leak hides under concrete, so the first clue is generally indirect. It may be a bill, a warm tile or a faint sound. Details from your call let the crew arrive in Horseshoe Bay with suitable equipment.
In Horseshoe Bay, a warm spot that stays warm in shade and with the heating off, and that follows a line, can point to a hot-water leak. A sunny window or a floor vent can make a floor warm too. These signs are general. The technician separates the lines and tests them before pointing to a spot. Callers from Horseshoe Bay reach the same 24-hour line.
A local crew describes what happens next.
Living with a slab in Horseshoe Bay
Lake-area homes are frequently second homes that sit empty for days or weeks, so a leak can run a good while before anyone notices.
Many homes and small buildings here are rentals. A tenant who notices a warm spot or a bill increase should tell the owner or manager in writing.
Tell us what was repaired before.
How technicians pinpoint it
The technician isolates lines one at a time and pressure tests them, which tells which line to search. Acoustic listening and thermal imaging follow, and the technician describes what was found and how sure it is.

What a visit in Horseshoe Bay involves
A call from Horseshoe Bay 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. The first thing the line asks a Horseshoe Bay caller is the ZIP code, so the call reaches a crew that already works in Llano County.
A recent water bill is worth pulling out. A sudden rise on a Horseshoe Bay account, with no change in use, gives the crew a rough sense of how fast water is escaping. Have the reading and a list of warm or damp rooms ready. In an older copper-plumbed Horseshoe Bay house, the location of the water heater is also useful.
Larger Llano County homes with long runs between fixtures can take longer to test than a compact house.
If the hot side is leaking, closing the cold supply valve on the water heater can slow the loss until a Llano County crew arrives.
