What's included
What our water heater leak repair includes
Every water heater leak repair Victoria TX job includes the core steps below. If we find slab moisture or a failed supply line during the visit, we quote that work separately so you can decide.
Repair of failed component
Fittings, valves, nipples, and supply line sections are repaired on-site using copper, PEX, or brass matched to your existing system. Most repairs take two to four hours.
System pressure test
After repair, we pressurize the system and watch the gauge for 15 minutes. No pressure drop means the leak is fixed. You get the result in writing.
Slab moisture check
We use a moisture meter and, when needed, a FLIR thermal camera to check whether water has reached the slab. This is how we catch foundation damage before it becomes a major repair.
Cleanup and warranty
We dry the area, remove debris, and leave the space clean. Every repair carries a warranty, and you get a written summary of what was done and what to watch for.
