Pipe Repair and Replacement — frequently asked
Can a leaking pipe be repaired instead of replaced?+
Often yes — a single failing joint or section can be repaired. Replacement is recommended when the line is corroded throughout or has repeated failures.
What causes pipes to corrode?+
Age, water chemistry, mixed metals, and high pressure all contribute. Copper can develop green buildup at joints; older galvanized lines narrow with internal corrosion.
