Quick answer
Coastal Point is a League City community of new Lennar homes. In a new house, early water problems often trace back to installation, such as plumbing under the slab, a loose fitting, an attic AC condensate line or an appliance hookup, so we find the source with meters before removing anything.
What can go wrong with water in a brand-new Coastal Point house
Coastal Point is a Lennar new-home community in League City. A new house has new pipes, new seals and new equipment, but every fitting, drain and seal is meeting daily use for the first time, and some will not pass that test.
The city is still planning for growth. League City's council approved a water line repair project that secures 20 million gallons of water per day for build-out, which is the supply a fully built city will need.
For a new owner, first-year leaks tend to come from a short list: plumbing under the slab, an attic condensate line that clogs or slips loose, and a fridge ice-maker line or washer hose hooked up on move-in day. Each one dries differently, and each one is easier to resolve when it is documented clearly from the first visit.
Six jobs that fit a new Coastal Point home
Move-in checks for a new Coastal Point house
Label every shutoff
Find the main water shutoff, the water heater valve and each fixture shutoff in your first week. Label them so anyone in the house can find them in a hurry.
Read the water meter
With every fixture off, the meter should sit still. If the leak indicator spins, something is running, possibly under the slab.
Use braided lines for hookups
Connect the washer and fridge with braided stainless lines, and check each fitting for drips the day after.
Look under the sinks
Open sink cabinets every few weeks and look and feel for damp. New drain fittings can loosen as they settle into daily use.

Yes. We work across League City, including Coastal Point, and calls are taken any hour of the day. If you suspect a leak under the slab, shut off the main valve and tell us what you noticed first.
Common signs are a warm spot on the floor, the sound of running water with every tap closed, a water meter that keeps moving, or damp flooring with no visible source. A plumber pinpoints and repairs it, and we dry and restore what it wet.
If water is spreading, stop it and get it dried first, since damage grows while you wait. Then notify the builder in writing. Photos and readings of the source and the damage go into a record that anyone reviewing it can use.
That turns on the flooring type and the kind of water. Carpet wet from a clean leak is often dried without lifting it. Laminate and some vinyl plank trap water underneath and usually have to come up so the slab can dry.
Not always. If the system ran during construction, or you see dust at the vents, a cleaning removes drywall dust from ducts and returns. If the system was sealed until move-in, it may not need one yet.
