Pipe Leak Repair Without Guesswork.

When a pipe is actively leaking, dripping, or failing, we focus on the damaged section, explain whether a targeted repair makes sense, and let you know when replacement is the smarter long-term move.

Signs of Trouble

  • 💧
    Unexplained Wet Spots On ceilings, walls, or floors.
  • 🔊
    Banging Noises "Water hammer" or rattling pipes.
  • 🧰
    Drips Under Sinks or in Basements Small leaks that can turn into bigger damage fast.
  • 💵
    High Water Bills Usage spiking without reason.

We Find the Source.

A small drip can waste hundreds of gallons of water and cause mold growth behind your walls. The tricky part is, the water spot isn't always where the leak is.

Pinette Plumbing uses diagnostic expertise to trace leaks to their origin. Whether it's a corroded copper joint, a failed ProPress fitting, or a frost-damaged pipe, we cut out the bad section and make the targeted repair. If our inspection shows widespread corrosion or repeated failures, we can also point you toward a planned pipe replacement solution instead of repeating short-term patches.

Don't let this happen to your home.

Copper Repair

We fix pinhole leaks in copper lines caused by water chemistry or age, using Type L copper for longevity.

PEX Repair

Repairing frozen or kinked PEX tubing with proper expansion fittings that won't leak.

Leak Source Testing

When the stain is visible but the failure is hidden, we work backward to confirm where the leak is actually starting.

When a repair becomes a replacement conversation

This page is focused on active leaks and targeted pipe repairs. If we find repeated failures, rust throughout the system, or multiple weak sections in older supply piping, a dedicated pipe replacement plan may be the smarter long-term fix.

Need the leak located first?

If the stain is visible but the broken line is still hidden, start with testing and tracing so the repair can stay focused.

Go to Leak Detection

Need a targeted repair now?

If you already know the pipe is leaking, split, or damaged in one area, this is the right page to move quickly.

Seeing repeated failures?

If the same system keeps leaking or older lines are failing in multiple places, compare full replacement options before patching again.

If the line is actively leaking, call now. If you are comparing repair versus replacement, we can inspect the pipe condition and point you toward the practical next step.

Leak FAQs

My ceiling has a water stain. Is it the plumbing?
Often, yes. It could be a supply line, a drain pipe, or a failed wax ring on a toilet upstairs. We can cut a small access hole to verify the source before making a mess.
Should I start with leak detection or pipe repair?
Start with leak detection if you know water is showing up somewhere but the broken pipe is still hidden. Choose pipe repair when the damaged section is already obvious and the goal is to stop the leak and restore the line.
What should I do while waiting for you to arrive?
**Turn off your main water valve.** It is usually located in the basement where the water line enters the house (near the meter). This stops the flow and limits damage.
Can you fix frozen pipes?
Yes. If they haven't burst yet, we can help thaw them safely. If they have split, we repair the damaged section and can insulate the pipe to prevent future freezing.
When does a leak problem turn into a replacement project?
If the same piping system has multiple weak spots, recurring pinhole leaks, rust, or widespread age-related wear, a repair may only buy a little time. In those cases we can walk you through a pipe replacement plan instead of stacking one short-term repair on top of another.
