How we can help
We repair leaking plumbing connections and damaged pipe sections in Denton homes and businesses. The repair is selected after the source, pipe condition and access have been assessed.
- Visible supply-pipe leaks and burst pipe sections
- Leaking fixture connections and accessible shutoff valves
- Repair planning after a hidden leak has been located
If the source is not visible, start with water leak detection. When separate pipe sections keep failing, compare a focused repair with a repiping assessment.
When to call for leak & burst pipe repair
- Water pooling beneath a sink, fixture or exposed pipe
- A split pipe or failed connection after freezing weather
- A damp ceiling, expanding stain or unexplained water sound
- A recurring leak at a previously repaired fitting
First, limit the water safely
If the leak is at a fixture and its shutoff is safely accessible, close that valve without forcing it. For an uncontrolled supply-pipe leak, use the home’s main shutoff only if you know where it is and can reach it safely. Keep away from wet electrical equipment and do not enter a flooded area to retrieve belongings. If a ceiling is bulging, keep people out from underneath it.
A repair starts with finding the failure
A wet spot does not always sit directly below the source. Water can travel along pipework and framing before appearing somewhere else. The assessment may include checking accessible connections, isolating fixtures and deciding whether hidden-leak testing is needed. Tell us if the leak happens constantly, only when a fixture runs, or after draining a sink or tub.
Repair the connection—or replace the damaged section
The repair depends on the material, condition and access. A failed valve or fitting may need a focused repair, while a cracked or deteriorated pipe may need a section replaced. Repeated failures in different areas can make a broader repiping discussion worthwhile. Plumbing repair and restoration of damaged drywall, flooring or cabinets are separate scopes; ask what is included before approving work.
What affects leak repair cost?
Access is often as important as the size of the leak. An exposed connection under a sink differs from a line behind a tiled wall or beneath a slab. Pipe material, the need for detection, isolation valves, replacement parts and any required permit also affect the work. Ask for the diagnosis and proposed repair in writing, including any opening or finishing work that is excluded.
Questions about leak & burst pipe repair
Can you repair a burst pipe after a freeze?
Call with the location and whether the water can be shut off. Frozen sections may have more than one failure, so the system needs checking as it thaws. Never use an open flame to thaw a pipe.
Is leak detection included in every repair?
A visible, accessible leak may be straightforward to locate. Hidden or intermittent leaks can require a separate diagnostic step. Confirm that scope and any charge before the visit.
Should I call a plumber or the city?
For a suspected problem on your property, call to discuss it. A broken public water main or leaking city meter should be reported to Denton Utilities Dispatch at (940) 349-7000.
