Louisville’s Pipe Repair Experts
Find the Leak, Fix the Pipe, Not Just the Symptom
Water goes where it wants, so the stain on the ceiling is rarely under the leak. We trace it — supply or drain, hot or cold, joint or pipe wall — before we open anything, and we open as little as the repair needs. Simple repairs start around $150–$300 and are usually done in one visit.
Louisville houses hold every pipe material of the last century: copper with pinhole corrosion, galvanized steel rusted nearly shut, cast iron drains cracked at the hub, CPVC gone brittle, and PEX from the last remodel. We repair all of them and we will tell you plainly when a section has reached the end and a repipe costs less than the third repair.
The first thing to do with an active leak is close the water: the fixture valve, or the main at the meter or where the line enters the house. Our shut-off guide shows you where to look. Then call; a shut valve turns an emergency into an appointment.

What We Do
Pipe Repair Services We Offer in Louisville, KY
From a single joint to a whole-house repipe — every job priced before we start, never after.
Burst & Leaking Pipe Repair
A burst line or a spraying joint gets same-day priority, Monday through Friday. We close the water, open the smallest section that will do, replace the failed pipe, and pressure-test before we close up.
- Same-day priority during business hours
- Supply and drain lines
- Smallest opening the repair allows
- Pressure-tested before closing
- Simple repairs from $150–$300
Leak Detection
Ceiling stain, damp floor, a water bill that doubled: we trace the leak with pressure testing, moisture readings and, where it helps, a camera or acoustic listening, so the wall we open is the right one.
- Pressure and moisture testing
- Hot vs. cold line isolation
- Slab and crawl-space leaks
- One opening, not three
- Cause explained before repair
Frozen Pipe Thawing & Repair
Louisville winters freeze pipes in crawl spaces, garages and exterior walls. We thaw the line safely, find the split the ice left behind, repair it, and insulate or reroute it so it does not happen next January.
- Safe thawing, no open flame
- Split sections found and replaced
- Insulation and heat tape
- Reroute out of cold walls
- Hose bib and crawl-space lines
Copper, PEX, PVC & CPVC Repair
Every material comes apart differently. Copper is soldered or pressed, PEX is crimped or expanded, CPVC is solvent-welded and goes brittle with age. We carry the fittings for all of them on the truck.
- Pinhole and joint leaks in copper
- PEX crimp, clamp and expansion
- Brittle CPVC replaced in PEX
- Drain line PVC repairs
- Fittings stocked on the truck
Galvanized & Cast Iron Replacement
Galvanized supply pipe rusts shut from the inside and cast iron drains crack at the hubs. When either is failing, we replace the run — a section or the whole house — in copper, PEX or PVC.
- Restores lost water pressure
- Stops rusty water for good
- Section or whole-house
- Cast iron drain hub repairs
- Quoted after a walk-through
Whole-House Repipe
When the third leak in a year shows up in a house full of old pipe, patching stops making sense. We repipe in PEX or copper, room by room, with the water off for hours rather than days.
- PEX or copper, your choice
- Water off for hours, not days
- Walls opened only where needed
- Drywall patched or left for your finisher
- Fixed price for the whole job

How It Works
How We Find a Leak You Cannot See
The stain is rarely under the leak. Here is how we make sure the wall we open is the right one.
Isolate the system
Supply or drain? Hot or cold? We shut valves one at a time and watch the meter and the pressure gauge. That narrows the leak to one line before anything is opened.
Read the moisture
A moisture meter maps where the water actually is behind the drywall or under the floor, which is often several feet from the stain.
Look inside
Where it helps, a camera through a small opening, a drain camera, or acoustic listening for a slab leak confirms the spot.
Open once and fix it
One opening at the leak, the failed section replaced, the line pressure-tested, and a straight answer on whether the rest of the run is next.
Repair or Repipe?
Should You Repair the Pipe or Replace the Run?
We will always give you an honest recommendation. Here is the guide we use ourselves.
Repair Makes Sense When...
- It is one leak at one joint or one short section
- The pipe is copper, PEX or PVC in good condition
- It froze once because of a gap or a missing insulation, not the layout
- The rest of the run looks sound when we open the wall
- It is the first leak the line has had
- Repair cost is well under a third of a repipe
Replacement Makes Sense When...
- The pipe is galvanized steel or the water runs rusty
- Copper shows pinholes in more than one place
- This is the second or third leak on the same run
- CPVC is brittle and cracks when touched
- Pressure is low at every faucet in the house
- You are opening the walls anyway for a remodel
