Pipe Repair
Pipe repair covers the pipes themselves — not the fixtures they feed. A pinhole, a cracked joint, or a frozen-line split all fall here. Repairing the pipe restores integrity to that section and prevents the water damage a failed pipe can cause.
Common reasons you may need this service
- A pipe is leaking at a joint or along its length.
- A frozen line has cracked.
- A section of pipe is corroded or bulging.
- A joint is loose or weeping.
- You hear ticking or dripping inside a wall.
Typical tasks and considerations
- Locating the damaged section of pipe.
- Draining and relieving pressure.
- Repairing or replacing the damaged length.
- Re-soldering or rejoining fittings as needed.
- Testing the line under pressure.
Common problems and possible causes
Pinhole leak
Small holes from internal corrosion. Replacing the affected section is more reliable than wrapping.
Cracked joint
A failed solder joint or threaded connection can weep. Re-making the joint resolves it.
Frozen-line split
Freezing can split a line along its length. The split section is replaced and the line re-pressurized carefully.
