Water Leak Repair
Once a leak is found, the repair depends on where it is — a fitting, a section of pipe, a fixture connection, or a pinhole. Water leak repair stops the leak at its source and checks the surrounding material so it doesn't return nearby.
Common reasons you may need this service
- A leak has been located and needs repair.
- A fitting or connection is weeping.
- A section of pipe is corroded or pinholed.
- A fixture is leaking at its connection.
- You want a small leak fixed before it spreads.
Typical tasks and considerations
- Shutting off and relieving pressure to the section.
- Repairing or replacing the leaking component.
- Replacing fittings or a short section of line as needed.
- Pressurizing and checking the repair.
- Inspecting nearby material for related wear.
Common problems and possible causes
Leaking fitting
A compression or threaded fitting can loosen or corrode. Replacing the fitting and its seal resolves the leak.
Pinhole in copper
Pinholes form in aging copper from internal corrosion. Replacing the affected section is more durable than patching.
Fixture connection leak
Supply lines to a toilet or faucet can weep at the connection. Replacing the line or its gasket stops it.
