Leak and Pipe Repair
We track down leaks, repair damaged pipe and repipe older homes in Dayton, Kettering, Oakwood and nearby towns.
Leaks are not always obvious. A stain on the ceiling, a damp cabinet floor under the sink, a water bill that climbs for no clear reason, or green corrosion on a copper joint can all point to a leak behind a wall or under a floor. Small leaks left alone rot subfloors and lead to mold. We find the source first, then repair it. Depending on what we find, we replace a fitting, cut out a damaged section of pipe or repipe part of the house. We work in copper, PEX and PVC. Copper holds up to heat but costs more. PEX is flexible, handles freezing better and goes in faster, so it is often a practical choice for repiping older Dayton homes. PVC is for drains and vents, not hot water lines. We've worked in homes built as far back as 1860, so old piping is familiar ground for us. If water is spreading, shut off the main valve and call or text 937-815-2006. Emergency service is available 24/7, estimates are free, and repairs carry our 2-year warranty.

Common questions
What should I do first if a pipe bursts?
Shut off the main water valve. If water reaches outlets, turn off the electricity, then move valuables to a dry area. Take photos for insurance and call or text us at 937-815-2006 so we can isolate the leak and make a repair.
Should I repipe with copper or PEX?
Copper is durable and heat-resistant but costs more. PEX is flexible, resists freeze damage and needs fewer fittings, which often makes it the economical choice in older Dayton homes. We look at your existing pipe, your water and your budget before we recommend one.
How do I keep pipes from freezing in winter?
Pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces and unheated garages freeze first. Keep the heat on and disconnect garden hoses before the first hard freeze. On the coldest nights, open the sink cabinet doors and let a faucet drip.
