What should Blackhawk homeowners know about slab leaks?
Blackhawk is a master-planned community on Pflugerville's northeast side, in ZIP code 78660, built around the Blackhawk Golf Club and reached mainly from Kelly Lane. Development began in the late 1990s and continued through the 2000s, so most homes are now 15 to 25 years old. It is made up of several pocket neighborhoods, each with its own HOA.
Homes here are mostly one and two stories on slab foundations, many over 2,000 square feet. In larger slab homes, supply lines can run a long way under the floor from the water heater to kitchens and baths, which means more pipe under concrete and more places a leak can start.

Call (512) 877-2924How does home age in Blackhawk affect slab leaks?
Homes built in the late 1990s and 2000s have pipes that have been through two decades of heat, pressure and slab movement. If your home is in an older Blackhawk section, a first leak is a good time to ask the provider about the condition of the rest of the line. Golf-course and greenbelt lots often have irrigation running close to the foundation, so a meter test with the sprinklers off helps tell a slab leak from an irrigation leak.
Tips for Blackhawk homeowners
- Test the meter with irrigation off before calling
- Check HOA rules before tunneling from the yard
- Ask about pipe condition if your home was built before 2005
- Keep repair records for resale; buyers ask
What should you do right now?
- Close the main water valve. Many Blackhawk homes have the house valve in the garage near the water heater. Golf-course lots may also have a separate irrigation valve; closing only that one will not stop a slab leak.
- Is the floor warm? Also close the cold-water inlet on top of the water heater.
- Water near outlets or cords? Keep clear, and leave at once if you smell gas.

Are Blackhawk homes old enough for slab leaks?
Many were built from the late 1990s to the late 2000s. Slab leaks can happen at any age, but wear builds over time.
Does my HOA need to approve tunneling?
Digging in the yard may fall under HOA rules. Check with your HOA before exterior work starts.
Where is the water shut-off in a Blackhawk home?
Many Blackhawk homes have the house valve in the garage near the water heater. Golf-course lots may also have a separate irrigation valve; closing only that one will not stop a slab leak.
Need help now?
Shut off the main valve if water is showing, then call. The phone is answered 24/7.
