FAQ: Water Pipe Repair in Sacramento
Q1: How do I tell if a leak is behind a wall or under the slab?
Check your water meter with all fixtures off. If it still moves, you likely have a hidden leak. Warm floor spots suggest a hot-line slab leak; damp drywall or musty smells often indicate an in-wall leak.
Q2: Can you fix a pipe without opening a huge section of wall?
Often, yes. We use targeted openings and reroutes when spot repair isn’t ideal. For yard lines, trenchless methods can reduce digging.
Q3: How fast can you come out?
We prioritize same-day and emergency calls in Sacramento and nearby cities. Call 916-832-5332 and we’ll give you the earliest arrival window.
Q4: What does water pipe repair typically cost?
It depends on access (behind tile vs. drywall, slab vs. crawl), length of repair, and permits. You’ll get an itemized, written estimate before we start.
Q5: Do I need a permit?
Many line replacements, reroutes, and main line work require permits and inspections. We handle the paperwork and coordinate with the city/county.
Q6: Should I repair one leak or consider repiping?
If you’re seeing repeated leaks or have aging galvanized or thin-wall copper, a partial or whole-house repipe (PEX or copper) can be the better long-term value.
Q7: My water pressure is strong—could that be causing leaks?
Yes. Anything consistently over ~80 PSI can stress plumbing and fixtures. We test your pressure and can adjust or replace the PRV and add an expansion tank if required.
Q8: How long will my water be off?
Small repairs are often 1–3 hours. Larger reroutes are commonly same day, and we restore water daily whenever possible.
Q9: Do you clean up and haul away?
Absolutely. We protect floors, keep openings tidy and patch-ready, remove debris, and label key shutoffs before we leave.
Q10: Can you check the rest of my system while you’re here?
Yes. We can inspect shutoffs, supplies, water heater T&P discharge, and pressure settings—and recommend preventative upgrades if needed.
