What White Oak homes sit on
White Oak is a modest Gregg County city beside Longview with 1960s-1980s slab homes.
White Oak sits on sandy ground with clay in places. Sandy soil moves less with moisture than heavy clay. Irrigation, outdoor taps and the line from the meter to the home are widespread sources on larger lots, so they are ruled out first.
The lines under White Oak homes
Copper under the slab is widespread in White Oak homes from the 1960s to the 1980s, since that was the standard way to plumb a slab house. White Oak calls go to the same line, answered around the clock.
A pinhole in copper may weep for a good while before anything appears. Water drains into the soil under the slab, so the first evidence is typically on the bill.
If a White Oak home has had one slab leak, ask the leak technician about the condition of the rest of the line before agreeing on a repair. Be ready to say what you have checked, since a White Oak crew will ask.
What homeowners notice first
The usual first signs of a White Oak slab leak are a warm spot, a higher bill, a hiss at night or a water heater that keeps running. Ask a crew in White Oak what this means for a 1960s-80s house like yours.
If a bill beats the same month last year with nothing changed at home, a meter check in White Oak is worth doing. Winter bills give the clearest comparison. These signs are general.
