Common Pipe and Water Line Problems We Fix in Boulder

Burst Pipe Repair

A burst pipe can flood a room quickly.

Recognizing the Problem

• Water spraying from a wall or ceiling
• Sudden flood in a room
• Sound of running water with no fixtures on
• Water meter spinning rapidly
• Wet drywall or carpet that appeared overnight
• Low water pressure followed by a gush
• Musty smell in the affected area
• Visible crack in an exposed pipe

We shut off the water, cut out the damaged section, and install new piping.

Winter freezes in Boulder make this more likely in uninsulated areas.

Leaking Pipes in Walls or Ceilings

Hidden leaks can cause mold and structural damage.

Recognizing the Problem

• Water stains on the ceiling
• Dripping sound inside the wall
• Sudden wet spot on the floor
• Musty odor in a room
• Low water pressure in one area
• Water bill that jumped without extra use
• Discolored drywall
• Leak that appears after rain

We use leak detection equipment to find the exact spot without opening every wall.

Frozen Pipe Repair

Frozen pipes crack when they thaw.

Recognizing the Problem

• No water from a faucet that worked yesterday
• Bulging pipe visible in the basement
• Water spraying once the pipe thaws
• Low pressure on one side of the house
• Ice visible on exterior pipes
• Pipe that feels cold to the touch

We thaw the line safely and replace the damaged section.

Repiping Entire Homes

Whole house repiping replaces all old pipes at once.

We repipe with PEX or copper using modern techniques that minimize disruption.

Water Line Repair and Replacement

• Discolored water after rain
• Noise in the pipes when off
• Line that has leaked before

We locate the break and replace the line with minimal digging.

Main Water Line Leak Repair

A main line leak wastes water and raises bills.

Recognizing the Problem

• Sudden increase in water bill
• Soft spot in the lawn
• Leak that reappears after patching
• Line that is decades old

We repair or replace the main line so you stop losing water.

Low Water Pressure from Pipe Issues

Clogged or corroded pipes reduce flow.

Recognizing the Problem

• Faucets that barely run
• Pressure normal then drops
• Discolored water at first use
• Noise in the pipes
• Problem that affects the whole house
• Gradual loss of pressure over time
• Rusty pipes visible in the basement

We find the restriction and clear or replace the affected section.

Slab Leak Detection and Repair

Slab leaks hide under concrete.

Recognizing the Problem

We use acoustic and camera tools to locate the leak then repair it with minimal disruption.

Pipe Repair vs Full Repiping in Boulder

A single leak can often be repaired but if you have multiple leaks or old galvanized pipes it is usually better to repipe the house. We look at the overall condition of your plumbing and help you decide the most cost effective long term solution for your Boulder home.

Water Line Repair and Replacement Services in Boulder

We handle both the service line from the meter to the house and the main line from the street. Replacing these lines with modern polyethylene or copper stops leaks and restores strong water pressure.
