Leak Detection
The Expensive Leaks Are the Ones You Cannot See
A dripping tap is annoying and cheap. The leaks that cost real money are under a slab, behind a wall or below the yard, quietly running for months — showing up first as a water bill nobody can explain and later as a cracked slab or a rotten subfloor.
We locate them with acoustic equipment, pressure testing and thermal imaging rather than by opening walls until we find water. That is the whole point: you should not have to demolish a bathroom to discover the leak was in the hall.

Leak Detection — Common Questions
What are the signs of a water leak in my home?
Common signs of a water leak include unexpected increases in your water bill, damp spots on floors or walls, or hearing running water when no taps are on. If you notice these, call 72 Degrees Texas at 830-468-5316. Our experts use advanced leak detection tools to locate and fix the issue, keeping your home safe and dry.
What Should I Do If My Water Heater Is Leaking or I Suspect a Gas Leak?
Immediate Steps to Take When Safety Is at Risk
A leaking water heater or suspected gas leak should always be treated as an urgent situation. If you smell gas or believe there may be a gas leak, evacuate the home immediately and contact emergency services or your gas provider. Do not attempt to operate appliances or fix the issue yourself, as gas leaks pose serious safety risks. If the issue is a water leak from the water heater, turn off the water supply to the unit and shut off the power source—electricity or gas—to help prevent further damage. For homeowners in Fredericksburg, Kerrville, and throughout the Texas Hill Country, prompt professional attention is key to protecting both safety and property. Skilled technicians can quickly diagnose the problem, make necessary repairs, and ensure the water heater is operating safely and efficiently again.
Are Tankless Water Heaters a Good Fit for My Mobile Home?
Why Tankless Water Heaters Make Sense for Mobile Homes
Tankless water heaters are often an excellent option for mobile homes, where space is limited and energy efficiency matters. Unlike traditional tank systems, tankless units heat water only when it’s needed, which helps reduce energy use and eliminates the risk of running out of hot water during daily routines. For mobile homeowners in Fredericksburg and across the Texas Hill Country, proper sizing and installation are key to getting the most out of a tankless system. Electrical capacity, gas supply, and local code requirements all play a role in determining whether a tankless water heater is the right choice. With professional installation and ongoing maintenance, tankless systems can deliver reliable hot water while freeing up valuable space inside the home.
Can 72 Degrees Texas Help Me Adjust My Water Pressure Reducing Valve?
Why Proper Water Pressure Adjustment Matters for Your Home
A water pressure reducing valve (PRV) controls how much pressure enters your home’s plumbing system. If the pressure is too high, it can strain pipes, damage fixtures, and shorten the lifespan of appliances like water heaters and washing machines. If it’s too low, everyday tasks like showering or running multiple fixtures can become frustrating. For homeowners in Fredericksburg and across the Texas Hill Country, professional adjustment ensures the valve is set to the correct pressure range for both safety and comfort. Experienced plumbers can test your current pressure, fine-tune the PRV, and confirm the system is operating properly. Proper calibration helps protect your plumbing, improve efficiency, and keep water flowing smoothly throughout your home.
Can 72 Degrees Texas Help Me Choose the Right Water Heater for My Home?
Personalized Water Heater Guidance, Not Guesswork
Choosing the right water heater isn’t just about picking a model—it’s about matching the system to how your home actually uses hot water. 72 Degrees Texas technicians take the time to assess factors like household size, daily hot water demand, available space, and energy source before making recommendations. For homeowners in Fredericksburg and across the Texas Hill Country, this personalized approach helps avoid common issues like running out of hot water or paying more than necessary for an oversized system. By comparing tank and tankless options and explaining efficiency considerations, our team helps you select a water heater that delivers dependable performance, long-term value, and comfort tailored to your home’s needs.
