Soil under Mission
Mission is a Hidalgo County city in the Valley with aging neighborhoods and plenty of more recent single-story slab homes.
Mission sits on sandy soil with clay in places. Sandy soil moves less with moisture than heavy clay. Lines in homes of this region fail for the same reasons as elsewhere: age, fittings and construction damage. Earlier leaks help a crew read the problem, so mention any you know of.
Pipe under Mission slabs
No single pipe material describes Mission. A technician verifies what a particular home has before suggesting anything. Be ready to say what you have checked, since a Mission crew will ask.
In Mission, the signs are the same across all three: a warm patch, a rising bill, a hiss at night or a heater that runs more than usual. A Hidalgo County crew can tell you how long the visit is likely to take.
In Mission, a second leak in the same home frequently opens a conversation about the rest of the line. Because of loose sandy ground, crews in Mission test the full line rather than one spot.
Signs in a Mission house
Because the leak is under the Mission floor, owners generally notice its effects first: warmth, sound, a rising bill or a heater that does not rest. A Mission crew confirms with testing before any floor is opened.
A bill above the same month last year, with the household unchanged, is a reason to check the Mission meter. Compare winter months for the cleanest read. These signs are general. Lines are isolated and tested before the technician says where the leak is. The same check works in newer PEX-plumbed houses across Hidalgo County.

What is different about Mission
Newer subdivisions grew quickly here. A leak in a Mission house that new is more often a single fitting or a damaged spot than general wear. This site does not advise on warranties. It locates leaks and connects you with a crew.
Lots here are frequently larger, and the line from the meter to the Mission home is a place a leak can hide. It does not involve the slab. Irrigation, pool fill lines and outdoor taps move the meter too. A leak technician rules them out first. See pool and irrigation leaks vs. slab leaks. Mission homeowners can run this check in a few minutes before calling.

Locating the leak
In Mission, the first step is isolation: closing valves to learn which line is losing water, next pressure testing that line. The goal is to know exactly where to open before the floor is touched. See how slab leaks are found. The line is answered 24 hours a day for Mission callers too.
Tell us what you have noticed so far.
What you can do today
Turn off everything that uses water, including the ice maker and any irrigation, and monitor the Mission meter’s leak indicator or low-flow dial for a few minutes. For a newer PEX-plumbed house, a Mission crew can explain what this means.
If the Mission floor is wet, close the main if it is safe, protect valuables and call. Do not try to open the floor yourself. See water meter leak check. A local crew covering Hidalgo County can walk you through the next step.
Straight answers on the phone.
Before the crew reaches Mission
The person answering a Mission call asks for the location, the signs and when they started. That short conversation is how a Hidalgo County crew decides what to bring.

Questions we hear from Mission
Yes, so lines run under most of the floor.
In Mission, houses with older lines commonly do, because the rest of the line is the same age, depending on the home. A technician can discuss rerouting or repiping. What you share on the call tells a Mission crew which equipment to bring.
No. A leak in Mission is a plumbing matter first. This site does not assess foundations, and a foundation contractor handles that question. In Hidalgo County, crews plan the visit around what you describe on the call.
Not always. In Mission homes, sunny windows and floor vents also warm the floor. Warmth that stays put in shade and with the heat off, and seems to follow a pipe route, can signal a leak on the hot side. Phones are answered around the clock for Hidalgo County calls.
In Mission, it depends on the terms. Check what your warranty covers and call the builder as well. A technician can locate and document the leak, and this site does not advise on warranties. It helps to mention fast-draining sand when you call from Mission.
Yes. A technician rules out irrigation and hose bibs first, since both can move the meter. For newer homes on fast-draining sand, this is one of the first things a crew asks about.
Turn off every fixture and appliance that uses water, then check whether the meter moves. Any movement points to a leak somewhere on the Mission property. Most recently built houses in Hidalgo County can be tested without moving furniture far.
Yes, typically at a fitting or a damaged spot rather than from wear in recently built homes.
Sometimes. A reroute above the Mission slab can spare the floor, depending on attic access, layout and the leak location. Hidalgo County crews start with the simplest test and work toward the slab.
