A leaky pipe is not something a homeowner should ignore. The leak could just be the beginning of a much larger problem. Once you identify the source of a leak, the next step is to contact Vines Plumbing. We will dispatch a technician to come investigate your leak.
SIGNS YOU MAY HAVE A LEAK
Not all leaks are out in the open as some may be concealed from sight. However, there are signs that you have a leaky pipe. Be sure to look out for the following signs which indicate you have a leak:
Jump in water bills
Sags in ceiling or walls
Sudden smell of mold and mildew
Water around toilet
WATER LINE ISSUES
A leak in a home’s water line has a different set of warning signs. That includes water pooling om your lawn and may also have a foul stench coming from that immediate area. A leaky water line pipe may call for entire replacement if there is no feasible repair option. There are ways to repair a leaky water line and that could require cutting off a piece of the pipe and fitting it with a replacement part.
FIXING LEAKING PIPES
Regardless of which pipe has sprung a leak inside your home, Vines Plumbing uses a certain procedure to provide a solution. We take calculated steps to fixing a leaky pipe by using state of the art equipment and a trained eye. Here is a look at how the process is carried out:
Assessment of leak – We will investigate the leak and identify where it is coming from. During this process, we will also evaluate how much damage has already been done.
Fix damaged area – In most cases, fixing a leaky pipe requires cutting the existing pipe around the area that is damaged. The area is measured and precise cuts are made.
Solder new piece in place – When the older part is removed, a new piece must be fitted in place and soldered. The pipe is then sealed into place with the use of a cap.

Installing new pipes is an added selling point when a home goes on the market. It is essentially an investment in your home.
