What should I do if a pipe bursts?

Shut off the main water valve immediately, turn off electricity in affected areas if water is near outlets, and call for help.

What causes pinhole leaks?

Often corrosion in copper pipe, influenced by water chemistry and age. Repeated pinhole leaks can signal broader pipe wear.

When does repiping make sense?

When pipes are failing in multiple places, are made of problem-prone materials, or cause ongoing pressure and water quality issues.

Why do my pipes bang?

Often 'water hammer' from quickly closing valves, or loose pipes. A professional can check pressure and supports.

How do I know what pipes I have?

Look at exposed pipe near the water heater or under sinks. Gray plastic marked 'PB' is polybutylene; white or colored flexible tubing is often PEX.

Common problems

Pipe Repair problems we take calls about

Pipes wear out from corrosion, pressure, age and ground movement. Repeated pinhole leaks, rusty water or pressure loss can mean it's time to look at the whole system rather than patching one spot.

Houston-specific considerations

Some Houston-area homes built in the 1970s through the mid-1990s may have polybutylene supply pipe, which is prone to failure. Older homes may have galvanized steel lines that corrode from the inside.
