Pipes are the veins of your plumbing system, and when one fails, the results range from a nuisance drip to serious water damage. Cumming homes deal with hard water, shifting soil and winter freezes - all of which stress plumbing over time. Catching and repairing a problem early keeps a small fix from becoming a major restoration.

Signs You Need Pipe Repair

Pipes often fail slowly before they fail completely. Keep an eye out for:

• Water stains on walls, ceilings or floors
• Damp, soft or bubbling paint and drywall
• A musty or moldy odor
• The sound of running water when all fixtures are off
• Low or fluctuating water pressure
• Discolored water or metallic taste
• Visible corrosion, pitting or green staining on pipes
• A sudden increase in your water bill

Common Causes of Pipe Damage

• Corrosion and age - especially in older galvanized and copper lines
• Freezing - water expands and splits pipe during winter
• High water pressure - stresses joints and fittings
• Shifting soil - moves and cracks buried and under-slab lines
• Tree roots - invade and crush underground pipe
• Poor installation - bad joints and unsupported runs

Pipe Materials We Repair

Different pipes need different methods, and we work with them all:

• Copper - soldered and press repairs
• PEX - crimp and expansion fittings
• CPVC and PVC - solvent-welded repairs
• Galvanized steel - repair and replacement of failing sections

We match the repair material to your existing system so the fix is strong, compatible and up to code.

How We Repair Pipes

• Locate the damage - we trace the affected line and check for additional weak spots.
• Isolate and drain - we shut off the line and drain it for a safe repair.
• Replace the section - the damaged pipe is cut out and replaced with new pipe and proper fittings.
• Test - we restore pressure and check the repair and surrounding line for leaks.
• Restore - we clean up and confirm normal water flow.

For concealed or underground leaks, we first use electronic leak detection so we open only what is necessary.

Repair or Repipe?

Sometimes repairing one section is the right call. Other times, repeated repairs are a sign the whole system is failing. We recommend repiping or pipe replacement when pipe is widely corroded, leaking in multiple places, or made of an outdated material. You will get a clear, honest recommendation and an upfront price for each option.
