Leak Detection For Converse Homes And Businesses
From a slow drip under a slab to a burst line in the yard, Converse homeowners call us when water is going somewhere it should not. The city is in Bexar County, San Antonio and South Central Texas, and is home to about 28,764 people.
About 86% of homes here are detached single family houses, and the typical home was built around 2006. That mix shapes the leaks we see most often, which is why this page focuses on the problems that actually come up in Converse rather than a generic checklist.

Leak Problems We See Most In Converse
Based on the age and type of homes here, the ground they sit on and local winters.
Slab Leaks Under Shifting Ground
With 86% detached homes, most on concrete slabs, and clay that swells and shrinks with the seasons, Converse sees the classic Texas slab leak: a copper line under the foundation wears through where the slab moves. Warm floor spots, a busy water heater and a meter that keeps turning are the usual clues.
Sprinkler Systems In Newer Neighborhoods
66% of homes in Converse were built after 2000, many with automatic sprinklers. Buried irrigation mains and zone valves leak quietly, and in a Texas summer one bad zone can add more to the bill than the whole house.
Pipes From The Polybutylene Era
About 24% of Converse homes were built between 1980 and 1999. Many from that period were plumbed with polybutylene or early copper, and both are now at an age where fittings crack and pinholes form. Isolating and pressure testing each line shows which run is failing.
Long Lines Over Rocky Ground
Properties around Converse often have long buried lines to barns, shops and guest houses, laid in rocky or caliche ground. Locating the leak before digging matters more here than almost anywhere, because every wrong hole is slow and costly.
Homes In Converse And What That Means For Leaks
According to the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey, 2019 to 2023, 1% of homes in the Converse area were built before 1960, 9% between 1960 and 1979, 24% between 1980 and 1999, and 66% since 2000.
Much of Converse has been built since 2000. Newer homes mostly use PEX and CPVC, which rarely fail along the pipe but can leak at crimp rings, fittings and valves, and new subdivisions often come with automatic sprinkler systems whose buried lines are easy to damage.
Ground And Weather In Bexar County
The soil under Converse matters for leaks. North and west of San Antonio, the land rises onto the limestone and caliche of the Edwards Plateau. To the south and east, clay and sandy loam soils take over. In Bexar County that means limestone and caliche make blind digging difficult in the Hill Country suburbs, while clay areas see the familiar pattern of slab movement and under slab leaks.
The Converse area is in USDA Plant Hardiness Zone 9a, which means the coldest night of a typical winter drops to about 20 to 25 degrees Fahrenheit. Hard freezes are uncommon, but Winter Storm Uri in February 2021 brought freezing temperatures to nearly all of Texas, and homes here are rarely built with freezes in mind.
Long, hot summers, mild winters and occasional hard freezes, with heavy rain events that can follow dry periods. Along Loop 1604 and the rest of the Converse area, outdoor taps, attic lines and irrigation backflow preventers take the brunt of it.
Who Supplies Water In Converse
The main public water system for Converse is City of Converse, listed in the EPA Safe Drinking Water Information System as system TX0150047, serving about 29,709 people.
In Converse, as in most of Texas, the provider maintains the meter and the street side connection and the property owner maintains everything after it, including the service line to the house. Water pooling around the meter is worth a call to City of Converse; a moving meter with the house shut down is a job for a meter leak investigation.
Getting Around Converse
Main numbered routes through the Converse area include Loop 1604 and Farm to Market Road 78, and we cover addresses along all of them.
Nearby communities we also serve include Universal City (about 3 miles), Schertz (about 5 miles), Cibolo (about 7 miles), St. Hedwig (about 9 miles), Adkins (about 9 miles).

Converse Leak Questions?We've Got Answers.
Local answers for Converse homeowners and property managers.
Still Not Sure?
Talk to a real leak specialist, not a sales script. Advice over the phone is free.
(800) 901 7671Who Supplies Water In Converse, And Who Fixes A Leak At The Meter?
The main public system is City of Converse. In most Texas systems the provider maintains the meter and the pipe on the street side, while the owner is responsible from the meter to the house. If water is coming up at the meter, call the provider on your bill first. If the meter moves with everything off, the leak is on your side.
Are Slab Leaks Common In Converse?
86% of homes in the Converse area are detached houses, and most Texas houses from the 1960s onward sit on concrete slabs with water lines beneath. The local clay swells and shrinks with the seasons, which stresses those lines. Warm floor spots, a water heater that runs constantly and a moving meter are the signs to watch for.
Can Pipes Freeze In Converse?
Yes. Converse is in USDA zone 9a, where a typical winter's coldest night reaches about 20 to 25 degrees Fahrenheit, and severe events like February 2021 go well below that. Pipes in attics, exterior walls, crawl spaces and above ground backflow preventers are most at risk. Some cracks only leak after the thaw.
How Do I Check My Converse Home For A Leak Before Calling?
Turn off every faucet, appliance and sprinkler zone, then open the meter box, the one City of Converse reads each month, and watch the small triangle or star shaped low flow indicator. If it moves over 15 minutes, water is leaking. Close the main shutoff at the house: if it still moves, the leak is probably on the service line to your Converse home.
Which Converse ZIP Codes Do You Cover?
We cover 1 ZIP code in the Converse area, including 78109. Nearby areas in Bexar County and beyond are covered too, so call even if your address is on the edge of town.
How Quickly Can Someone Come Out In Converse?
Our line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. When you call from Converse, Universal City or Schertz, the specialist confirms availability and an arrival window on the call, and for an active leak talks you through shutting off the water while you wait.
What Does Leak Detection Cost In Converse?
It depends on the leak. In Converse the most common job is slab leaks under shifting ground, and cost varies with how many lines need testing, whether the leak is under concrete or in the yard, and whether it is an after hours emergency. You will hear how pricing works on the call before anyone is sent.
