Precision Water Line Repair Services
While water pipes last a long time, they do not last forever. They can develop cracks, and valves can leak. Sometimes, these leaks are obvious, such as under a sink or a gushing burst pipe. Other leaks are often hard to find, and you will need a professional leak detection service. This can include thermal imaging or acoustic leak detection devices.
Once we know the problems, you’ll need to decide whether to repair or replace them. Our team can provide the professional guidance you need to make that decision. It usually comes down to the age of the line, pipe material, overall condition, and extent of the damage.
Water line repair usually makes sense if you have a small leak. On the other hand, water line replacement may be more practical if there’s a large crack. Another factor is cost. Replacing is generally the better long-term approach if the repair will cost 50% or more of the replacement.
Further, if you have cast iron or galvanized steel pipes, it’s usually recommended to replace them with pipes made from modern materials. Using PVC pipes for your water supply is also no longer recommended, especially for hot water lines.
Nowadays, the industry typically uses copper or PEX piping for water line replacement. While copper is more expensive, it is the safest, lasts a long time, and presents no risk of corrosion. Most plumbers will use rigid copper for the main lines and flexible copper for tighter spaces, like from the line to the faucet. It’s also critical to replace questionable joints with lead-free ones.
Signs you may need water line replacement or repair include:
- Low water pressure
- Wet patches on your lawn
- Damp or moldy patches on walls
- Unexplained rising water consumption
- Water stains on ceiling or walls
Over time, cracks and other damage to your water lines can end up costing you a great deal of wasted water. Worse, it can allow contaminants to enter your drinking water. Call for repairs immediately if you notice any signs of a problem with your water lines.
