Can I fix a leaking pipe myself without replacing it?

Yes, small leaks can sometimes be temporarily patched without replacing the pipe. Temporary fixes buy time; a lasting repair usually requires replacing or repairing the damaged section or fitting. Our licensed plumbers use advanced leak detection and offer non-invasive repairs, repiping, and 24/7 emergency service in Portland, Beaverton, and Vancouver. A technician will inspect the leak, explain options, and confirm costs on site.

  • Shut off water at the valve or main.
  • Open a faucet to relieve pressure.
  • Contain drips and avoid over-tightening fittings.
