Rerouted a Hot Water Slab Leak in a Burleson Home 06.01.26

A Burleson homeowner called Dependable Plumbing thinking their water heater was failing — the floor felt warm and the unit kept cycling. Don tested the system and traced the heat to a leaking hot water line buried in a foundation beam, not the water heater at all. Because the pipe sat inside the beam, a direct repair wasn't possible, so Don rerouted the hot water line overhead to bypass the damaged section. The home's hot water and floor temperature returned to normal the same day. If you notice a warm spot on your floor or a water heater that never shuts off, call 817-447-2654. Dependable Plumbing has served South DFW since 1985 under Master License M12423.
