Every plumbing job — leaks, drains, water heaters, sewer lines, emergencies. Here they all share one complication: the clay under the house never stops moving.
Takes about a minute. No obligation.
Much of Fort Bend County sits on expansive clay. It takes on water and swells, dries out and shrinks, and across a normal Texas year the whole site does that together — wet spring, dry August. Plumbing is what suffers. Supply lines under the slab are abraded where they bear on concrete as the ground works. Sewer joints are pulled apart a fraction at a time until roots find the gap or the line sags into a belly that holds water. And any leak that puts water into one part of that soil continuously breaks the symmetry, so the ground under one corner of the house stops moving with the rest. That differential movement, not the water itself, is what cracks slabs and door frames.
It does not prove the leak is under the slab, but it proves there is one — and it is the single most useful thing you can tell a plumber on the phone. Isolate the irrigation separately and repeat it; that rules out the cheapest possible cause first.
All of it, across Fulshear and the surrounding Fort Bend County subdivisions.
Most slab leaks are noticed as something else first: a water bill that crept up, a warm patch on the floor, a crack…
Nobody should be breaking concrete to go looking. Locating the leak is its own step, and it happens before anything…
In Fulshear's clay, water under part of a slab does not just cost you water. It changes how the ground under that p…

No. Plenty of jobs are an ordinary failed valve or a hair clog. But recurring problems and anything under the slab usually have ground movement somewhere in the story.
Policies differ widely. Many Texas policies cover the resulting water damage and the cost of accessing the leak but not the pipe repair itself. Your policy and carrier decide, not us.
More urgent than the water bill suggests. Soil movement under the slab is the expensive consequence and it compounds the longer it runs.
Yes — drains, water heaters, fixtures, emergencies, all of it. The soil is the local complication, not the limit of the work.
