Leak Detection & Pipe Repair
Hidden leaks waste water and quietly damage your home. We find them with the right tools, fix them, and repair or repipe failing lines.
A leak you cannot see is the expensive kind. It shows up as a high water bill, a musty smell, or a stain long before you find the source. We use leak detection tools to locate the problem precisely, so we open up as little as possible and fix the actual leak, not a guess.
From a pinhole in a copper line to corroded galvanized pipe that needs repiping, we handle it. We repair first when the pipe is otherwise sound, and we are straight with you about when a section has reached the end of its life.
Signs You Have a Leak
- A water bill that jumped with no change in usage
- The sound of running water when nothing is on
- Damp spots, stains, or bubbling paint on walls or ceilings
- A musty or mildew smell
- Low water pressure
- Warm spots on the floor (a possible slab leak)
Common Causes
- Corrosion in older copper or galvanized pipe
- High water pressure stressing joints
- Shifting or settling that strains lines
- Freeze damage
- Worn fittings and connections
Repair or Replace?
When Repair Makes Sense
A single leak in otherwise good pipe is a straightforward repair. We fix the spot, confirm it is dry, and you are done.
When Replacement Is the Better Call
If pipes are corroding in more than one place, or you have old galvanized lines that keep failing, repiping the run or the home ends the constant repairs. We will show you what we are seeing and let you decide.
What Affects the Cost
Every job is different, so we give you a clear price before we start. A few things that affect what a job costs:
- How hard the leak is to locate and access
- Whether it is a spot repair or a repipe
- Pipe material and where it runs (wall, slab, crawlspace)
- Extent of any water damage cleanup needed
- Emergency versus scheduled service
Frequently Asked Questions
How do you find a leak inside a wall or slab?
We use leak detection equipment to pinpoint the source before opening anything, so we make the smallest access needed instead of tearing out drywall to hunt for it.
Do I need to repipe my whole house?
Usually not. Repiping makes sense when pipes are failing in multiple places or you have old galvanized lines. For a single leak, a spot repair is all you need. We will tell you honestly which applies.
Is a small leak really worth fixing right away?
Yes. A small leak wastes water every day and can cause hidden rot and mold that costs far more than the repair. Catching it early is always cheaper.

Yes, 24/7. Shut your main off if you can, then call us and we will get there fast.
