Plumbing Leaks We Repair
Not every plumbing leak looks the same. Some are obvious. Others show up as a stain, musty area, high water bill or unexplained moisture somewhere in the home.
Leaking Pipes
Copper, PEX, CPVC and other residential water-piping leaks, failed fittings and damaged sections of pipe.
Ceiling & Wall Leaks
Water appearing through drywall, ceilings or walls from plumbing fixtures or piping above and behind the surface.
Toilet Leaks
Leaks around the toilet base, tank, supply connection, shutoff valve or internal toilet components.
Faucet & Sink Leaks
Dripping faucets, leaking supplies, drain connections, sink piping and shutoff valves.
Shower & Tub Leaks
Leaking shower valves, cartridges, tub spouts, connections and accessible piping.
Water Heater Leaks
Leaking tanks, relief valves, piping connections, shutoff valves and other water-heater plumbing.
A Small Leak Can Become a Big Repair
Water can damage drywall, cabinets, flooring and framing. If you are seeing active water where it should not be, getting the source identified early can help limit additional damage.
Signs You May Have a Plumbing Leak
Sometimes the water source is obvious. Other times the first sign is something changing elsewhere in the house.
The Right Repair Depends on Where the Leak Is
We diagnose the source first and then explain the appropriate repair options before approved work begins.
Pipe & Fitting Repair
A failed section of piping or fitting may be removed and replaced using an appropriate plumbing material and connection for the existing system.
Fixture Supply Repair
Faucets, toilets and other fixtures can leak from supply lines, shutoff valves and fixture connections. We can identify which component is actually leaking before replacing parts.
Shower Valve Repair
A dripping showerhead does not always mean the showerhead is bad. Worn cartridges, valves or internal components can allow water to continue passing through the fixture.
Toilet Leak Repair
Toilets may leak from the tank, supply, shutoff valve, internal components or base. The location of the water helps determine the correct repair.
Water Heater Leak Diagnosis
Water around a water heater can come from piping, valves, the relief system or the tank itself. A leaking tank generally requires replacement, while external plumbing leaks may be repairable.
Accessible Hidden Leak Diagnosis
When water is appearing through a ceiling or wall, we can evaluate the nearby plumbing and help determine the likely plumbing source and next step.
Plumbing Leak Repair Without the Guesswork
Our goal is to identify what is actually leaking before recommending the repair.

Plumbing Leak Repair FAQs
Questions homeowners often ask when they discover water somewhere it should not be.
What should I do if I have an active plumbing leak?
If it is safe and you know which valve controls the leaking fixture, shut off that water supply. For a larger uncontrolled water leak, the home's main water shutoff may need to be closed. Then call a licensed plumber to diagnose and repair the source.
Can you repair a leaking pipe inside a wall?
Yes, when the plumbing can be accessed. The repair may require creating access to reach the damaged pipe or fitting. The exact approach depends on the location and type of piping.
Why is water dripping from my ceiling?
Possible plumbing causes include leaking supply piping, a toilet, shower or tub connection, drain piping or another plumbing fixture located above the affected ceiling. The source needs to be identified before the proper repair can be made.
Why is my toilet leaking around the bottom?
Water around a toilet base may come from the toilet seal, the tank, supply connection, shutoff valve or another nearby source. The toilet should be inspected to determine where the water begins.
Does a dripping faucet waste much water?
A continuing drip can waste water over time and may indicate a worn cartridge, stem, seal or other internal faucet component. Repairing the cause also helps prevent the leak from getting worse.
