Pipe Problems in Johnston County
Pipes don't last forever. Between age, water quality, soil conditions, and just plain wear, eventually something gives. When it does, you need someone who can respond quickly and fix it right.
Burst Pipes
A burst pipe is a plumbing crisis. First step: shut off your main water valve. Then call us. We respond fast to burst pipe situations because every minute of water flow means more damage to your home.
Leaking Joints & Fittings
Connections are weak points in any plumbing system. Age, movement, and corrosion can cause joints to fail. We repair or replace fittings to stop the leak and prevent further damage.
Corroded Pipes
Older homes in Clayton may still have galvanized steel pipes, which corrode from the inside over decades. Signs include rusty water, low pressure, and pinhole leaks. Often requires repiping affected sections.
Pinhole Leaks
Tiny leaks caused by internal corrosion in copper pipes. One usually means more are coming. We assess whether spot repairs make sense or if it's time for more extensive work.
"Pipe burst in the crawl space while we were out of town. Neighbor spotted water coming from under the house. They came out within an hour, found the break, and had it fixed before we even got home. Saved us from a disaster."
Pipe Materials We Work With
- Copper: The standard for decades. Durable but can develop pinhole leaks over time.
- PEX: Flexible plastic tubing. Popular in new construction and remodels. Resistant to corrosion.
- CPVC: Rigid plastic. Common in homes built from the 80s onward.
- Galvanized Steel: Found in older homes. Prone to rust and buildup. Usually needs replacing.
- Cast Iron: Used for drain lines in older homes. Heavy and durable but can rust through.
Considering Repiping? If you're dealing with multiple leaks, persistent low pressure, or discolored water, whole-house repiping might be more cost-effective than ongoing repairs. We can assess your situation and give you honest options.
