Repaired a Hot Water Slab Leak With an Overhead Reroute in Burleson TX 09.03.26

Don · September 3, 2026 · Near Red Oak Court, Burleson TX 76028

Don and Brad repaired a hot water slab leak at a Burleson, TX home by rerouting the affected line overhead rather than breaking into the foundation. Running new pipe through the wall and ceiling space bypasses the failed section under the slab entirely, which keeps the concrete intact and avoids chasing a line that can fail again somewhere else along its run. The new hot water line was insulated where it passes through the wall cavity before the connections were made up. Hot water slab leaks are the ones homeowners tend to catch first, because heat rising through the concrete leaves a warm spot on the floor — if you have one of those, or your water bill jumped without explanation, or you hear water running with every fixture shut off, call 817-447-2654. Locating slab leaks is what Dependable Plumbing is known for, and other plumbing companies call us in when they cannot find one. Serving Burleson and South DFW since 1985 under Master License M12423.

We have used Dependable Plumbing for years and have ALWAYS had over and above service. This last time was no exception, we called late one evening and they offered to come out then, we put them off until the next day, in less than 2 hours they had completed a laundry list of issues from a washing machine drain that was not draining properly to flushing and repairing our hot water heater. They were courteous, clean and punctual. HIGHLY RECOMMEND them for any of your plumbing needs.

We requested to.have two outside faucets replaced that were constantly leaking. They were able to replace the faucets without having to tear out any of the drywall, so we were extremely thankful.As their name indicates, they’ve been a very dependable contractor for us over the years…..

These guys are the real deal! They came out the same day I called and replace our home water heater. The older gentleman was total sweetheart and even fixed up a toilet that won't stop flushing. This an honest business, great pricing, and hard honest work. I also love that he is local and had been in business for over 30 years!

We have used Dependable Plumbing for many years. And I might say Dependable is a very good name for them because they are exactly that. They are also very courteous. The kind of people you want to live next door to you. We trust them, and will call on them again when we have plumbing problems

Dependable Plumbing is exactly what their name says. We have used them for many years and never been disappointed. It seems every time I need them it's on a weekend but they still are able to get to the problem as quickly as possible. Great family owned business you can really count on.
