Pipe Repair

Broken Pipes

A professional plumber in Salt Lake City, UT, is recommended for pipe repair due to the potential damage caused by burst pipes or leaking pipes.

Pipe keaks can cause odors in rooms and damage your ceilings, walls, and floors. They can also keep your water meter running when there's no water turned on.

A skilled professional plumber can efficiently identify and repair the leak before it gets worse. When you book an appointment with Scott Hale, we will provide a detailed estimate for the pipe repair and offer sound advice on how to proceed with the situation.

What Causes Leaky Pipes?

Leaks are frequently caused by clogs, corrosion, excessive water pressure, and movements in the ground around your pipes. You can rely on one of our plumbers to do a thorough inspection of your plumbing system to find any leaks.

They'll provide clear explanations of their results so you may decide for yourself. You can trust our plumbers to work extremely carefully and quickly to fix any burst pipe problems.

Signs of Leaky Pipes

Although it's important to recognize potential warning signs of pipe issues, they frequently appear suddenly. When a homeowner is having plumbing problems, they should take into account the following warning signs of leaky pipes:

Water Contamination: It's critical to contact our professionals to treat any murky water in your house before it poses a health concern to you and your family.

Mysterious Holes and Cracks: It's a major problem if you find any cracks or holes in your plumbing system. Older homes sometimes contain older pipes, which may get damaged if not inspected regularly.

Rusted Spots: Examine eerie areas of your house to confirm the longevity and state of your pipes. Your old pipes probably need to be replaced if you see any rusty areas. Over time, this problem will get worse and may need house repairs.

Low Water Pressure: You may save time and money by taking prompt action when you discover low water pressure problems.

Pipe Corrosion: You should check pipes in places like basements for any indications of corrosion since this can cause other pipes to corrode and need to be replaced.

Older Household Age: Plumbing concerns are more common in older homes, so prospective buyers should take into account any potential problems with the property's original pipes.

Damp Walls and Flooring: You must call a professional right away if you see water stains on any of the walls or flooring.

Outdated Plumbing Systems: Older homes constructed before the 1990s probably feature polybutylene pipes, which have been the focus of several lawsuits because of their flaws.

Water Line Repair Process

At Scott Hale, we have two ways that we repair water lines.

Full Line Replacement

Full line replacement involves digging up the water main and replacing the entire pipe, from the city meter to the home.

During this process, we can also replace all water lines in the home via a whole-house repiping. This is a common choice when customers have old galvanized lines and want them all replaced with PEX.

PEX is a flexible plastic pipe that can make long runs without many connections, which reduces the chances of future leaks.

Spot Repair

The second option for water line repairs is called a "spot repair." This is where the plumber locates the leaking section, cuts it out, and replaces that section with new piping.

Keep in mind that the overall condition of the rest of the pipe plays a role in how effective this method will be. Water will find the next weakest place to escape from, which could mean you still have the chance you may need to have more fixes done in the future.
