What We Do

Stop Leaks Before They Spread

Leaks rarely fix themselves. A slow drip under a sink can rot cabinets, a pinhole in a copper line can soak drywall for months, and a burst pipe can flood a basement in minutes. The sooner a leak is repaired, the less you pay in water damage.

We track down the source, whether it is a supply line, fitting, valve, drain joint or fixture, and repair it with the right materials for your home. In older homes with corroded galvanized or failing pipe, we explain your repair and repiping options honestly.

Warning Signs

Signs of a Hidden Leak

Not every leak drips where you can see it.

Rising Water Bill

A higher bill with no change in use often means water is escaping.

Stains or Damp Spots

Water marks on ceilings, walls or floors.

Low Water Pressure

A leak in the supply line can reduce pressure at fixtures.

Sound of Running Water

Hearing water when nothing is on.

Musty Smell or Mold

Persistent moisture behind surfaces feeds mold growth.

Frozen Pipes

Pipes that froze can split and leak once they thaw.

Quick Answer

Leak Repair Explained

What should I do if a pipe bursts?

Shut off the main water valve right away, usually located where the water line enters the basement, then turn off the water heater if the leak is near it. Move valuables away from the water and call a licensed plumber. Certified Plumbing answers 24/7 and never charges extra for nights, weekends or holidays.

FAQs

Leak Repair FAQs

Why do copper pipes get pinhole leaks?

Pinhole leaks usually come from corrosion inside the pipe, often related to water chemistry, age or high water velocity. One pinhole can be repaired, but several in the same area can signal the pipe is wearing out.

How do I prevent frozen pipes in a Michigan winter?

Keep the heat on, insulate pipes in unheated areas, disconnect garden hoses and shut off outdoor spigots from the inside before the first freeze. During extreme cold, open cabinet doors on exterior walls and let a faucet drip.

Can you repair a leak without tearing out walls?

Often, yes. We pinpoint the leak before opening anything, so access is limited to the area that actually needs repair.

Do you help with insurance claims after water damage?

We document the cause and the repair, which homeowners often need for an insurance claim. Coverage decisions are made by your insurance company.
