Quick answer
A Pearland plumber can usually confirm a hidden leak with a two-hour meter test before anything gets cut open. Turn off every faucet, toilet and appliance, write down the meter reading, then check it again two hours later. If the number climbed, water is leaving the house somewhere, and finding the exact spot is the next job.
If water is moving right now
- Close the main shut-off. It is often in a box near the curb or where the water line enters the garage.
- Turn the water heater off: gas knob to pilot, or the breaker for an electric unit.
- Call us at any hour. We can talk you through finding the valve.
What we fix
Every plumbing job, grouped the way problems show up
In a slab home the supply lines run under the floor, the water heater sits in the garage or attic, and the sewer line runs out to the street. These six groups cover all of it, from a Moen cartridge to a Rinnai tankless swap to a full Uponor PEX repipe.
Leak check
Run the two-hour meter test yourself
Before you book anyone, let the water meter tell you whether there is a leak at all. Shut off every faucet, toilet, ice maker, softener and sprinkler. Read the register, the row of numbers on the meter face, and write it down. Leave everything off for two hours, then read it again.
Most home meters count gallons, and some count cubic feet. Many also carry a small triangle or star that spins whenever any water moves, which is a quick check on its own. If the numbers moved while the house was quiet, water is going somewhere: a toilet, a yard line, or a pipe under the slab.

One cubic foot is 7.48 gallons. A moving meter does not tell us where the leak is, only that one exists.
Local conditions
What Pearland's clay, water and weather do to plumbing
Pearland sits in the stretch of Southeast Texas where the USDA maps the Lake Charles clay series, a soil formed in Beaumont Formation clay. It cracks 1 to 5 cm wide as it dries and swells again when the rain returns. A slab poured on top rides those cycles, and so do the copper and PEX lines running underneath it.
Well-Done Plumbing runs its Pearland calls from the service office on FM 521 in Rosharon, and that clay is why a jump in the water bill sends us to the slab first. The water adds its own wear. Pearland blends groundwater from the Evangeline and Chicot aquifers with surface water bought from Houston and the Gulf Coast Water Authority, and the city's last report put average dissolved solids at 321 ppm. That shows up as scale in tank heaters and crust on shower heads.
Hard freezes are rare here, but they land hard. Hobby Airport fell to 15 degrees on February 16, 2021, the date Pearland's water system was put under a boil water notice. If attic lines or hose bibs split that week, freeze protection is worth a look before the next cold snap.

Why Pearland calls us
What changes when you hire this crew
Four habits that show up on every job, whether it is a dripping cartridge or a slab leak.
One number, day or night
The same number reaches us at 2 in the afternoon or 2 in the morning, and a person answers it. (281) 845-9645 is the only line you need.
Repair or reroute, your choice
For a slab leak we lay out both options: a spot repair through a small floor opening, or a new line run through the attic and walls.
Permits handled
Pearland requires permits for plumbing work such as water heaters, repipes and sewer lines. When a job needs one, we pull it and meet the inspector.
The house gets protected
Drop cloths go down, shoe covers go on, and the mess leaves with us. The only sign we were there should be the repair.

Questions
Questions Pearland homeowners ask us
Yes. The line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, holidays included. If water is still running when you call, we will help you find and close the main shut-off first.
The usual signs are a warm or damp spot on the floor, the sound of running water when nothing is on, cracks that keep widening in tile, and a water bill that jumps for no reason. The meter test above is the quickest check, and our slab leak signs guide covers the rest.
It depends on where the leak is and the shape of the pipe. One leak in otherwise sound pipe is often repaired through a small opening in the floor. If the same run has leaked before, rerouting it through the attic and walls avoids the next one. We lay out both before work starts; see slab leak repair.
HomeGuide puts a standard tank replacement at $600 to $3,100 on average, depending on size, fuel, where the heater sits and the code updates it needs. That is a planning range, not a quote; we price your exact unit before the old one comes out. Our water heater cost guide breaks it down.
It depends on how much scale bothers you. Pearland mixes well water with surface water from Houston, whose 2025 report lists total hardness averaging 135.5 ppm, and Pearland's own report lists dissolved solids averaging 321 ppm. A softener cuts scale; a carbon filter handles chloramine taste and smell. See water softener installation.
The City of Pearland requires construction permits for work on a home's plumbing, mechanical and electrical systems, and inspections are scheduled through its eTRAKiT system. When a job needs a permit, we pull it and meet the inspector.
Close the main shut-off, turn off the water heater, open a faucet at the lowest point of the house to drain the lines, and move what you can away from the water. Then call. Our burst pipe guide walks through it step by step.
Yes. Pearland is home base, and we also cover the towns around it in Brazoria, Harris, Fort Bend and Galveston counties. The cities we serve page has the details for each one.
Water moving where it should not be?
Call now and a plumber picks up. In the middle of the night we will help you shut the water off first, then get the repair moving.
