Highland Village, TX — Lake Lewisville Area
Highland Village homes face unique plumbing challenges — from expansive clay soil that causes slab leaks to outdoor plumbing systems exposed to lake-area weather. Haltex Plumbing brings specialized expertise to every Highland Village neighborhood.
Highland Village sits in a privileged position along the shores of Lake Lewisville, offering residents a lifestyle that blends lakefront recreation with suburban comfort. But that desirable geography comes with plumbing implications that many homeowners do not anticipate. The area's expansive clay soil — the same soil that gives Highland Village its rolling terrain — is one of the most aggressive foundation movers in North Texas. When seasonal rains saturate the ground, the clay swells. During summer droughts, it contracts dramatically. That constant cycle of expansion and contraction puts enormous stress on the water and sewer lines running beneath your foundation.
In The Trails of Highland Village, Highland Shores, and the neighborhoods surrounding Unity Park, we have responded to hundreds of slab leak calls over the years. The signs are often subtle at first — a slightly warm spot on the floor, a water bill that is $20 higher than usual, or the faint sound of water running when everything is turned off. By the time most homeowners call, the leak has been active for weeks. Our advanced electronic leak detection equipment allows us to pinpoint the exact location of a slab leak without tearing up your floors, saving you thousands in unnecessary demolition and repair costs.
Beyond slab leaks, Highland Village homes with lake-adjacent properties have additional plumbing considerations. Outdoor faucets, sprinkler systems, and pool plumbing are more exposed to freeze-thaw cycles that can crack pipes and fittings. Backflow prevention devices are required by local code for homes with irrigation systems, and they need annual testing to ensure your drinking water stays safe. Haltex handles all of this — from emergency slab leak repairs to routine backflow inspections — with the same level of care and expertise.

"We noticed our water bill had gone up about $40 a month for no apparent reason. Haltex came out and found a slab leak under our master bathroom that had been slowly running for weeks. They detected it without ripping up any tile, repaired it the same day, and our bill went right back to normal. Could not be happier with their professionalism."

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to the questions Highland Village homeowners ask us most often.
Highland Village sits on expansive clay soil that swells dramatically with moisture and shrinks during dry periods. This constant movement puts stress on the copper water lines running beneath your concrete slab foundation. Over time, the friction and flexing causes pinhole leaks or joint failures. Homes older than 10 years are at the highest risk.
Before the first freeze, disconnect garden hoses, shut off outdoor water supply valves if possible, and insulate exposed faucets and pipes with foam covers. For sprinkler systems, a professional blowout using compressed air is recommended. We offer winterization service packages that cover all outdoor plumbing in one visit.
A backflow preventer is a mechanical device that stops water from flowing backward from your irrigation system or other non-potable source into your drinking water supply. Highland Village requires backflow prevention assemblies on all homes with irrigation systems. These devices must be tested annually by a certified tester to confirm they are functioning properly.
In many cases, yes. We offer trenchless sewer repair methods including pipe lining and pipe bursting, which can rehabilitate or replace damaged sewer lines with minimal excavation. These methods preserve your landscaping, driveway, and hardscape while providing a long-lasting repair with a 50-year rated liner.
Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency plumbing service to Highland Village and the surrounding Lake Cities area. Our Denton headquarters is just 15 minutes away via I-35E, and we can typically respond to Highland Village emergencies within 30 to 40 minutes depending on traffic and time of day.
Slab leak repair costs depend on the leak location, the repair method, and the flooring type above the leak. A spot repair on an accessible section of pipe may range from $500 to $1,500, while a more complex repair involving re-routing the line above the slab can run $2,000 to $4,500. We always provide a detailed estimate before starting work.
