• A sudden increase in your water bill without an increase in usage.
• Flooding in your home, basement, yard, or the street near your home.
• A running or rushing water noise or dripping sound that you can’t locate.
• Signs of water damage in your home: water stains, brown streaks down the walls, wet spots on the walls or ceilings, soggy carpeting, mold or mildew growth, a musty odor, rust or corrosion, wet or rotten wood, a sagging ceiling or buckling floor, or peeling or bubbling paint or plaster.
• Loose fittings around your toilet, sink, or tub.

Our Leaking Pipe Repair Service

When you call us for a leaking pipe repair service, we will start by doing a plumbing video camera inspection. Our plumbing video camera can be extended hundreds of feet into your home’s plumbing system. We can watch in real-time to uncover signs of pests or rodents, damage, corrosion, punctures, breakage, leaks, tree root intrusion, clogs, or other problems. We will then recommend one of these methods for pipe leak repair:

Pipe Relining Technique

We can use our innovative pipe relining technique for minor leaks, cracks, and breaks. We insert a special sleeve into your pipe, and as the sleeve hardens, it seals any cracks and leaks. It also prevents new cracks and leaks from forming.

Pipe Replacement Technique

We recommend pipe replacement if your pipe is too damaged for pipe relining. We will dig a small access hole at each end of the utility line. We will then insert the pipe into place, and as it is inserted, it will break apart the old pipe. Our new pipes resist rust, corrosion, damage, chemicals, pests, leaks, and tree root intrusions. They can last up to 100 years with care and maintenance.
