Water damage from a leaking or burst pipe can be devastating to a property. It can ruin drywall, warp flooring, and encourage the growth of mold. That is why we take every call seriously. Whether you are dealing with a pinhole leak in a copper pipe, a slab leak under your foundation, or a compromised main water line, our team has the technology and experience to resolve the issue. We are the local experts you can rely on to restore your water system to optimal performance.
The Critical Role of Your Water Lines
Your main water line is the lifeline of your home. It connects your property to the municipal water supply, delivering the fresh water you use for drinking, cooking, bathing, and cleaning. In Drexel Heights, these lines are subjected to harsh conditions, including shifting desert soil and aggressive tree roots seeking moisture. When this line is damaged, you might notice a drop in water pressure, discolored water, or a sudden spike in your utility bill.
We provide specialized water line repair and water line replacement services. We understand that digging up your yard is not ideal, so we utilize advanced diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact location of the problem. This allows us to minimize disruption to your landscape. If the line is beyond repair due to age or extensive damage, we can install a brand new, durable water line that will serve your home for decades to come.
Expert Leak Detection Services
One of the biggest challenges in plumbing is finding a leak that you cannot see. A “mystery leak” can waste thousands of gallons of water and cause structural damage before you ever see a drop of water. We use state of the art leak detection equipment to locate issues hidden behind walls or under concrete slabs.
Slab leaks are a particular concern in Drexel Heights. Our soil expands and contracts with moisture changes, putting immense pressure on the pipes buried beneath your home’s foundation. If you feel a warm spot on the floor, hear the sound of running water when no taps are open, or see cracks forming in your walls or flooring, you may have a slab leak. Our technicians can locate these leaks with precision, allowing us to perform a targeted slab leak repair without tearing up your entire home.
URGENT SAFETY WARNING: Gas Leaks
While we are experts in water pipes, we also handle gas piping. However, safety is paramount. If you smell gas (a rotten egg odor), hear a hissing sound near gas lines, or suspect a gas leak in your home or business, you must go outside and call 911 immediately.
Do not use a telephone, cell phone, or any electrical switches while inside the building. Do not start a car in the garage or driveway. A gas leak is a life threatening emergency that requires urgent attention from emergency responders. Once the area is declared safe by officials, you can contact us for gas line repair and inspection.
Pipe Repair for All Material Types
Homes in Drexel Heights feature a variety of plumbing materials depending on when they were built. We have the expertise to repair them all.
- Copper: A common material for water supply lines. We fix pinhole leaks and corrosion issues.
- PEX: A flexible plastic tubing found in newer homes. We can repair kinks or damaged sections.
- PVC and ABS: typically used for drain and waste lines. We repair cracks and bad joints.
- Galvanized Steel: Found in older homes, these pipes rust from the inside out. We often recommend replacement, but we can perform repairs when feasible.
- Polybutylene: A grey plastic pipe used in the 70s and 80s that is prone to sudden failure.
No matter what type of pipe you have, our goal is to provide a lasting fix. We do not believe in temporary patches. When we perform a pipe leak repair, we ensure that the section is sound and that the surrounding system is stable.
Whole Home Repiping Services
There comes a time in the life of every home when spot repairs are no longer sufficient. If your home has old galvanized pipes that are restricting water flow, or polybutylene pipes that are a ticking time bomb for bursts, repiping is the best solution. We offer complete repiping services for homes in Drexel Heights.
Repiping involves replacing the old, failing water supply lines with modern, durable materials like copper or PEX. This process improves water pressure, eliminates rust colored water, and gives you peace of mind knowing that your plumbing system is new and secure. We work efficiently to complete repiping projects with minimal impact on your daily life. We plan the job carefully to ensure you have access to water at the end of each work day whenever possible.
Burst Pipe Repair and Emergency Services
A burst pipe is a plumbing emergency that requires immediate action. It can dump hundreds of gallons of water into your home in a matter of minutes. In Drexel Heights, pipes can burst due to age, corrosion, high water pressure, or even the occasional winter freeze. When this happens, you need an emergency plumber who can get there fast.
We are available for emergency pipe repair. We advise you to locate your main water shut off valve now, before an emergency happens, so you can stop the flow of water quickly. Once the water is off, call us. We will arrive with the tools and materials needed to cut out the damaged section and install a new piece of pipe. We test the repair thoroughly to ensure there are no further leaks.
Water Line Replacement Strategies
When a main water line fails, replacement is often the most cost effective long term solution. Constant repairs on an aging line can become a financial drain. When we perform a water line replacement, we use high quality materials rated for underground use. We take into account the soil conditions in Drexel Heights to ensure the new pipe is bedded properly and protected from shifting ground.
We also consider the path of the new line. In some cases, we can reroute the water line to avoid obstacles like driveways or large trees. We handle all the excavation and backfilling, leaving your property in good condition. Our team works with you to understand your needs and provides a solution that ensures consistent water pressure and quality for your home.
The Impact of Hard Water on Pipes
One of the primary enemies of plumbing in Drexel Heights is hard water. The high mineral content in our water supply deposits calcium and magnesium inside metal pipes. Over time, this scale buildup reduces the interior diameter of the pipe, restricting water flow and increasing pressure. This can lead to leaks and bursts.
We see the effects of hard water daily. Copper pipes can develop pinhole leaks due to the chemical reaction between the water and the metal. During our service visits, we can assess the condition of your pipes and recommend solutions. While we are there to fix the immediate problem, we also look for signs of future trouble so you can be proactive about your plumbing health.

Signs You Need Water Line Repair
Your plumbing system often gives you warning signs before a catastrophic failure. Being aware of these signs can save you from a major disaster.
- Unexplained Wet Spots: If you see lush patches of grass in your yard when everything else is dry, or if you have a soggy spot in your driveway, you likely have an underground water line leak.
- Low Water Pressure: A sudden or gradual drop in pressure across all fixtures indicates a problem with the main supply.
- Discolored Water: Brown or rusty water suggests that your pipes are corroding internally or that dirt is entering the line through a crack.
- Noisy Pipes: Banging or whistling sounds can indicate air in the line, loose brackets, or high water pressure issues.
If you notice any of these symptoms, contact Drexel Heights Plumbing Pros. We can perform a thorough inspection to diagnose the issue.
Commercial Pipe Services
Businesses in Drexel Heights have unique plumbing needs. A broken pipe in a restaurant, retail store, or office building can disrupt operations and drive away customers. We act as a commercial plumber for many local enterprises. We handle large scale water line repairs and repiping projects for commercial properties.
We understand that commercial systems often involve larger diameter pipes and higher water pressures. Our technicians are trained to handle these heavy duty systems. We offer flexible scheduling to perform repairs during off hours to minimize the impact on your business. Whether it is a leak in a break room or a main line failure, we are the partner you can trust.
PEX vs. Copper: Making the Right Choice
When it comes to pipe installation or repiping, homeowners often ask about the difference between PEX and copper.
- Copper: A traditional, durable metal that resists bacteria and is not affected by UV rays. It is rigid and requires soldering. It is an excellent choice for exposed piping and outdoor applications.
- PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene): A flexible plastic piping that is easier to install, resistant to scale buildup, and less prone to freezing damage. It is often more affordable than copper and is excellent for retrofitting in existing walls.
We can help you decide which material is best for your specific home and budget. Both are excellent choices when installed correctly by a professional.
Addressing High Water Pressure
You might think that high water pressure is a good thing, but too much pressure can damage your pipes and appliances. It puts excessive stress on joints and valves, leading to leaks and shortened fixture life. In Drexel Heights, municipal water pressure can sometimes fluctuate or be set too high.
We install and replace pressure regulator valves (PRVs). These devices sit on your main water line and reduce the pressure coming from the street to a safe level for your home (typically between 50 and 75 psi). If you hear banging pipes (water hammer) or if your faucets drip shortly after being fixed, high pressure might be the culprit. We can test your pressure and install a regulator to protect your pipes.
Frozen Pipe Prevention and Repair
While Drexel Heights is known for its heat, winter nights can drop below freezing. Pipes located in uninsulated areas like attics, crawl spaces, or exterior walls are vulnerable. When water freezes, it expands with tremendous force, enough to split copper or plastic pipes.
If you experience a frozen pipe, turn off the main water immediately. Do not try to thaw it with an open flame. Contact us for frozen pipe repair. We can also help you prevent this issue by insulating exposed pipes and showing you how to protect your plumbing during a cold snap. Prevention is always better than repair.
Trenchless Technology Options
In many cases, we can repair or replace sewer and water lines without digging a massive trench across your yard. We utilize advanced methods that allow us to insert a new liner into the existing pipe or pull a new pipe through the old one. This preserves your landscaping, driveway, and patio.
While not every situation is suitable for trenchless repair, we always evaluate if it is an option for you. It is just one of the ways we strive to provide the best service to our customers in Drexel Heights. We want to solve your plumbing problem with the least amount of disruption possible.
