Pipe Repair & Replacement — Burst Pipes & Leaks Fixed Fast on the Gulf Coast

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

I have a burst pipe. What do I do right now?

Turn off the main water supply to your home immediately — the shutoff is usually at the meter near the street or at the wall where the main line enters the house. Then call us. We're available 24/7. Leave the affected faucets open to relieve pressure and limit additional damage while we're on our way.

What causes pipes to burst?

On the Gulf Coast, freeze events are the most common cause — pipes in exterior walls or uninsulated crawl spaces are vulnerable when temperatures drop. Corrosion over time in older galvanized pipe, excessive water pressure, physical impact, and manufacturing defects are other causes. We'll identify the root cause so the same thing doesn't happen again.

I have a small drip from a pipe joint. Can I leave it?

No. A small drip will get worse, and the water that's already there is damaging your structure. Even a slow leak behind a wall can cause mold and rot over months. Get it fixed while it's small — it's a much cheaper repair than water damage remediation.

My home has old galvanized pipe. Should I replace it?

Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out, gradually restricting water flow and eventually failing. If your home was built before 1970 and still has original plumbing, there's a good chance the pipes are nearing the end of their useful life. Opening walls for any reason is a good opportunity to replace sections, and a full repipe is often worth doing proactively.

Do you repair slab leaks?

Yes. A slab leak is a leak in a supply or drain line embedded in or below your concrete foundation. We can locate the leak, assess options — spot repair, rerouting the line through the walls above, or full repipe — and recommend the best approach for your situation.
