Leak Detection & Repair — Gulf Coast directory

About this service

Leak detection and repair on the Gulf Coast occurs at higher rates than in most US regions, driven by clay-heavy soils that expand with seasonal moisture and stress underground pipe joints, and by the high concentration of pre-1960 homes with galvanized steel and cast-iron pipe past its service life. Electronic leak detection runs $200–$400. Slab leak repair runs $1,500–$4,500. Hidden wall and ceiling leaks run $450–$1,100. All leak detection and repair work should be performed by a licensed plumber.
