When a pipe in need of repair springs a leak, the situation can get out of control fast. You don't want spraying and leaking water to wreak havoc and lead to huge repair bills. No pipe is indestructible (at least, not the ones used in plumbing). A leak can happen at any time, for any reason which is why it’s a good thing you have Hulsey Environmental on your side 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What are the different kinds of pipe leaks found in residential plumbing? With so many different types and uses of pipes, it only makes sense that there are many different kinds of pipe leaks.
What work goes into repairing or replacing a leaking pipe?
In almost all cases, some excavation or demolition will be necessary to uncover the section of damaged pipe that needs to be repaired. The material that the broken pipe is made of will also play an important factor in how it will be repaired. Copper pipes will need to be cut and soldered or “crimped”, with special fittings and tools that create a seal by squeezing.
In all cases, water is shut off only for the period of time necessary to complete the repair on your leaking pipe.
