Leaking Pipe Repair
Even a slow leak demands our immediate attention. Small leaks can result in many gallons of water wasted daily and a much higher water bill. That excess moisture will cause water damage and lead to mildew and mold.
Burst Pipe Repair
The first step when you experience a burst pipe is turning off the water supply to prevent further damage. We can perform a temporary fix to prevent further damage while allowing water access to the rest of the house. The final solution often involves plumbing pipe replacement. It’s worth noting that an event that bursts a pipe often causes damage beyond the rupture itself.
Pipe Replacement
Our team replaces all types of pipes and only uses code-compliant materials. Copper is still a top choice for certain applications. That said, houses primarily have plastic pipes nowadays, such as PVC, CPVC, and PEX.
Whole-Home Repiping
If your home’s plumbing is 40 years old or older, it may be better to replace it entirely. Deterioration makes it more prone to leaks and ruptures. Additionally, older plumbing may feature materials and installation techniques that are no longer up to code.
Water Line Repair & Replacement
Problems with your main water line can lead to low water pressure and many other issues. Our team can repair or replace your main line, and we offer both traditional and trenchless options. The traditional approach involves excavation. Trenchless techniques include cured-in-place pipe relining and pipe bursting.
Causes of Pipe Damage in Homes
The pipes in your home can deteriorate over time through normal usage. Old pipes can weaken from water exposure, leading to discoloration, pitting, corrosion, and cracks.
- Chemicals in the water
- Hard water
- Tree root intrusion
- High water pressure
- Improper installation
- Freezing temperatures
Frozen Pipe Repair & Prevention Services
It’s important to schedule repairs for a frozen pipe as soon as you notice the potential problem. We have safe thawing techniques that can recover the pipe in most cases. Left frozen, pressure will build in the pipe and eventually cause it to burst.
- Bulging or cracking pipes
- Little to no water from faucets
- Frost or condensation on pipe exteriors
- Groaning and other unusual plumbing noises
Preventing Frozen Pipes in the Future
The pipes most prone to freezing are those installed near exterior walls. In most scenarios, wrapping them in insulation is enough to prevent freezing in the future. We also install heating cables that prevent freezing by maintaining the pipe’s temperature.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here we provide answers to some top questions about plumbing pipe replacement and repair. Call us at your convenience with additional questions and for personalized details.
What are the signs of a leaking or damaged pipe?
A hidden leak can result in an unexpectedly high water bill, musty odors, or visible water damage or mold. Leaks in buried pipes can lead to a soggy landscape and issues with your home’s foundation. Damaged pipes can cause noisy plumbing, low water pressure, and water contamination.
How do I know if my pipes are frozen?
If you get little to no water from a faucet and it’s cold out, your pipes may be frozen. On exposed pipes, you may see frost or condensation forming on the outside. You may notice bulges or cracks, or hear gurgling or banging sounds behind your walls.
What should I do if a pipe bursts in my home?
If a pipe bursts, disable the home’s water supply immediately via the main valve to prevent further damage. If you’re unsure how, we can try to walk you through it when you call us, which is your next step. We’ll dispatch an emergency plumber to your home right away. While you wait, use old towels and whatever else you have available to contain the water.
When is full pipe replacement or repiping necessary?
We’ll recommend whole-home repiping when there are widespread issues throughout the residence. This is often due to the plumbing system being older than 40 years and featuring outmoded materials and techniques. While spot repairs may be possible, without full replacement, you may face more repairs and higher long-term costs.
