Keene Homes and Slab Leaks
Keene is a small city on US 67 and FM 2280, 5 miles northeast of Cleburne (Handbook of Texas). It is home to Southwestern Adventist University, which became a four year college in 1963. It is served by the same independent providers we connect callers with for slab leak repair in the Cleburne area. With a university in town, some homes are rented. A leak in a rental raises questions about who calls, who pays and who lets the plumber in.
Signs Keene residents should report
- A warm spot on tile or concrete floors
- Carpet that stays damp with no spill
- Running water sounds when every tap is off
If You Rent in Keene
- Tell your landlord in writing. Describe what you see and keep a copy.
- Stop the water if it is coming up. Shut off the main valve, avoid wet outlets, and tell the landlord you did.
- Take dated photos. They protect you and help the owner's plumber.
- Protect your things. The owner's policy usually covers the building, not your belongings. Renters insurance may.
- Check your lease before you book a plumber yourself.

Slab Leak Questions from Keene Residents
I rent in Keene. Can I call you directly?
You can call with questions. In most rentals the owner or manager approves plumbing repairs, so tell them first and check your lease.
Who pays for a slab leak in a rental home?
That depends on the lease and the owner's insurance. The owner usually handles the building's plumbing. Tenants may need renters insurance for belongings.
Is it safe to stay in a rental with a slab leak?
Usually, once the water is off and nothing electrical is wet. If water reaches outlets, stay clear and tell the owner right away.
