Pipe Repair FAQs
Common questions about pipe repairs and leaking joints
What should I do if a pipe splits or bursts?
Turn off the water at the main stopcock immediately. Open all cold taps to drain the system. Turn off the boiler and central heating. Switch off electricity if water is near electrical fittings. Call us immediately.
Can a pinhole leak in a copper pipe be repaired?
Small pinhole leaks can sometimes be repaired but the surrounding pipe may also be thinned by corrosion. We assess the pipe condition and replace the affected section if the pipe wall is compromised.
What causes copper pipes to develop pinhole leaks?
Pinhole leaks in copper pipes are usually caused by internal corrosion from water chemistry, flux residue from original installation, or external corrosion from contact with concrete or plaster.
How do you repair a leaking compression fitting?
We can try tightening the fitting slightly. If the leak persists we dismantle the joint, inspect the pipe and olive, and remake it with new components if needed.
Can you join copper to plastic pipe?
Yes. We use push-fit or compression fittings designed to join copper to plastic pipe. These provide a secure, watertight connection between different pipe materials.
Will the repair be permanent?
Yes. We use quality materials and proper plumbing techniques. A pipe repair using new copper pipe and soldered or compression fittings will last for decades when installed correctly.
