There are quite a few choices to be made if you have leaking pipes. Finding the source of the leak will determine whether you will try to repair it or call in a professional plumber. Undetected leaking pipes can cause irreparable damage to the surrounding area. The wood will rot from being water logged and if you use plasterboard it will need to be replaced from the water damage. A small leak in the beginning can lead to a large repair bill later on if you do not catch it in time. Read on so you will understand how to find and repair the small leaks and who to call for the larger repair problems.

A lot of leaks happen at joints in the pipes. This is where pipes either connect to each other or to an appliance or plumbing fixture. You can generally fix these types of leaks with a wrench and a few turns. Even if the leak is in the middle section of a pipe it can be repaired fairly easily as well although it requires some special knowledge such as using a metal saw and minor soldering. This is one that if you are unsure of you can consult Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing. We will give you a reasonable estimate on all types of pipe repairs.

In order to fix most leaking pipes it will be necessary to turn off the water supply. The valve for this is found near the water meter in most cases. Start by tightening all the joints, then turn the water back on. If the leak is no longer present your job is done if not , turn the water back off and try to locate the hole or fracture that is in the pipe. Once you have located the culprit you can best decide how to proceed. You can cover small cracks and holes with Teflon tape and add a layer of epoxy. It is important to allow the compound to dry completely before testing it.

Plumbing Testimonials:

Anna, Richmond Hill

Rains were crazy last falls and my basement got flooded. I was desperately looking for a company that will waterproof my old home in Toronto for a reasonable amount of money and do it right. Dr. Pipe Drain and Plumbing did just that, they started by telling me to relax on the phone and by taking care of my problem very quickly. They installed new weeping tiles around my house and since that time there was not a single drop that landed in my basement. Thanks guys!

Helene, North York

My husband and I hired Max and his team to upgrade pool mechanical room in our house. Everybody who gave us an estimate, before them said it was very complicated and will cost at least $80000. Cost of HYDRO and Natural Gas and maintenance with old mechanical room was $2500 per month. Max’s team was able to upgrade the systems in pool mechanical room for way, and I mean way lower that quoted by others and we only pay couple of hundred dollars per month now. I am so glad we called them before making our final decesion.

Frank, Beaches

I used Dr.Pipe Drain and Plumbing to renovate all the plumbing in the old house I bought in the beaches. They were able to identify problems quickly, resolve them and prevent them from ever happening again. All of my neighbours suffer from leaking basements and no water pressure, but not to me thanks to this crew. I would recommend them to anybody.

Vladimir, Richmond Hill

Dealing with Dr. Pipe was one of those rare experience when you feel good paying your money. They responded immediately to my phone call and within an hour were at my place. After a quick no obligation analysis they identified source of the problem and offered economical solution. I agreed and in no time our drain worked like it is supposed to. Max was very service oriented and defensibly knows his stuff. I am recommending them to all of my friends and family now.
