Leaks traced, not guessed

Warm spots, buckling floors, and mystery water bills mean we listen first—then isolate supply vs. waste.

Gulf Coast slab homes hide both potable lines and cast-iron drains. A pinhole on a hot line under a bathroom can run for weeks before you see damage. Shower valves drip behind tile when cartridges wear or pressure spikes. We combine isolation tests, moisture clues, and selective access to avoid tearing out whole bathrooms when a single chase is the culprit.

Leaks traced, not guessed — Armstrong Plumbing

Where we focus

1
Isolate

Meter movement tests and zone shutoffs narrow which branch is bleeding.

2
Expose

Small drywall or ceiling openings first; slab hits only when evidence points down.

3
Repair

Copper press, PEX, or repipe sections sized to match existing flow and pressure.

High static pressure shortens cartridge life and stresses flex lines under sinks. If we see 80+ psi at the hose bib, we talk about regulators and expansion tanks before the next leak.

Worth a closer look

Hidden mold

Long-running leaks need drying plans. We coordinate with remediation when framing is saturated.

Matching shower trim

Not every cartridge swaps without the exact trim kit—bring photos or we ID on site.

FAQ

Do you warranty leak repairs?

We stand behind workmanship on repairs we perform; manufacturer warranties cover the parts they supply.

Is my yard wet spot a slab leak or irrigation?

Could be either. We trace domestic lines first — if the meter spins with irrigation shut off, that’s the tell.

Can you work with my insurance adjuster?

We document findings for the adjuster; coverage decisions stay between you and the carrier.

Why do my cartridges keep failing?

High static pressure (80+ psi) shortens cartridge life and stresses flex lines. We talk regulators and expansion tanks before the next leak.

Will you tear out my whole bathroom to find a leak?

No — small openings first, with slab cuts only when the evidence points down.
