What Separates Precision Pipe Repair from Guesswork

Our techs work on every pipe material found in San Geronimo, CA homes, from pre-1970s galvanized to modern PEX-A crosslinked systems. The repair method matches the pipe.

๐Ÿ”Š

Acoustic Leak Detection

Pressurized water escaping a pipe creates a characteristic acoustic signature. Our listening devices amplify ground and structure-borne sound to pinpoint a leak location within inches โ€” through concrete slabs, behind drywall, or under flooring. This means we open only the section of wall, floor, or slab directly over the failure.

๐ŸŒก๏ธ

Thermal Camera Scanning

We use thermal imaging as a complement to acoustic detection โ€” particularly useful for slab leaks and leaks inside insulated wall cavities where sound transmission is reduced.

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ

All Pipe Materials & Joining Methods

Press-fit copper connections โ€” particularly useful for repairs in occupied spaces where open flame is a concern โ€” are available as an alternative to torch sweating where code permits.

๐Ÿ”’

Pressure-Tested Before We Leave

Every supply line repair is pressure-tested before we close the wall or floor. We pressurize the repaired section, hold the test pressure for the required duration, and confirm zero drop before considering the repair complete. You don't find out there's a second leak next week โ€” we find it before we pack up.

Every Pipe Repair Type We Handle in San Geronimo, CA

Pipe failures have different causes depending on material type, age, water chemistry, and installation history. Here's how we address each category.

Copper

Copper Pipe Repair & Repipe

Copper failures most often involve pinhole corrosion in soft copper tubing from aggressive water chemistry, failed soldered joints, or fatigue cracks at fittings in high-vibration locations. We locate the failure precisely, cut out the failed section, and install either a sweated repair coupling or a press-fit connector โ€” both rated to ASTM B88 standards for potable water service.

Galvanized

Galvanized Pipe Replacement

We replace galvanized supply lines with copper or PEX โ€” either as targeted section replacement at active failure points or as a full-house repipe project. We connect the new material to existing fittings using dielectric unions where code requires to prevent galvanic corrosion at copper-to-galvanized transitions.

PEX

PEX Pipe Repair & Extension

Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) is the current standard for residential supply piping. Failures are uncommon but occur at crimp or clamp fittings that were improperly installed, at pipe runs exposed to UV degradation, or at locations where the pipe was kinked during installation. We repair using expansion fittings (for PEX-A) or crimp fittings with the correct ring size for the pipe diameter.

Burst Pipes

Burst & Freeze-Damaged Pipe Repair

A burst pipe from freezing or sudden pressure surge requires immediate water shutoff and precise repair. We locate the failure, determine whether it's a single failure point or multiple freeze-damaged sections, and repair with a method appropriate to the pipe material โ€” press-fit coupling for copper, expansion coupling for PEX-A, or a mechanical repair coupling for emergency situations.

Slab Leaks

Under-Slab Pipe Leak Repair

Supply line leaks under a concrete slab are identified by acoustic detection and confirmed by thermal imaging. Once located, we evaluate three repair options: direct-access repair (jackhammering to the pipe, repairing the section, and patching the slab); rerouting the line through the wall framing above slab to bypass the failed underground run; or epoxy pipe lining for older copper systems with systemic pinhole corrosion.

Full Repipe

Whole-House Repipe Service

A full repipe in San Geronimo typically completes in 2โ€“3 days for a standard single-family home. You're without water for a portion of each day; we plan the schedule to minimize disruption to occupied rooms.

1

Call & Describe โ€” We Shut the Water If Needed

2

Pressure Test & Acoustic / Thermal Detection

This detection step routinely saves homeowners $500โ€“$2,000 in unnecessary drywall removal compared to opening walls speculatively.

3

Flat-Rate Quote & Minimal Access Opening

For slab leaks, we present repair, reroute, and lining options with pricing so you can make an informed choice before any concrete is cut.

Repair & Pressure Test โ€” Then You're Done

You receive a written summary of what failed, what we installed, and the warranty terms before we leave.

Real Pipe Repair Reviews from San Geronimo, CA Homeowners

โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

My older home had a copper supply line fail inside an exterior wall. The thermal camera showed the wet zone through the drywall without any cutting. They opened a 10-inch section right at the pinhole, put in a press-fit repair coupling โ€” no torch in my wall โ€” pressure tested, and patched the drywall themselves. Two hours total.

Our galvanized supply lines finally gave out โ€” low pressure everywhere, rust-colored water at some fixtures. Masters Plumbing Service repiped the whole house with PEX over two days. They confirmed pressure and flow at every fixture before leaving, patched all the wall access points smooth, and cleaned up each work area. One year later, no issues at all.

โ€” O. & R. Adeyemi, San Geronimo, CA
โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…โ˜…

I noticed my water meter spinning with all fixtures off โ€” confirmed a leak in the supply system. Masters Plumbing Service ran a pressure test and acoustic scan, found a pinhole in a copper section under the slab in the utility room. They rerouted the line through the wall above slab, tested, and closed out the permit. The reroute was exactly the same cost as direct slab access would have been, but no damaged floor tile.

What to Know Before Calling for Pipe Repair in San Geronimo, CA

A slow pinhole leak inside a wall can run for months before surface damage appears. By the time you see a stain, the moisture intrusion is typically already significant. If your meter shows movement with everything off, call us โ€” we can pressure-test and locate it before it becomes a major remediation project.
In most cases, the pipe itself needs to be physically accessed to make a durable repair โ€” but the amount of wall we open depends entirely on how precisely we can locate the failure first. With acoustic detection and thermal imaging, we typically open a single, small access point rather than a wide section of wall.
A slab leak is a supply line or drain line failure in a pipe that runs through or under the concrete foundation slab. Supply line slab leaks are the more urgent scenario โ€” pressurized water escaping under the slab saturates the subgrade, can undermine the foundation, and drives significant water bills.
We assess galvanized condition when we're on-site โ€” visible exterior corrosion, interior scale visible at the cut failure point, and water pressure readings all tell us how advanced the system deterioration is. We give you the repair-vs-repipe math honestly so you can make the decision that fits your timeline and budget.
We don't rush pressure testing at the end. That's the step that confirms the repair is actually complete, and it takes the time it takes.
For slab access openings, we clean up concrete debris, complete the pipe repair, and patch the concrete. Tile or flooring restoration over a slab patch is normally a separate trade.
