Water line leaks are a common occurrence in Mesa, and they can quickly lead to major damage if not addressed promptly. When you notice a leak or other issues with your water line, it’s important to get in touch with a licensed and bonded plumber immediately.

Cactus Plumbing and Air recommends that homeowners perform an annual plumbing inspection to evaluate the entire home's plumbing system. This will help avoid water damage by addressing potential issues before they happen. If you need water line repair or replacement in Mesa and the surrounding areas, our team of professional plumbers is here for you.

The following are common signs that you may have a water leak or need to upgrade your home’s water supply:

  • Aging Pipes – Over time, pipe materials can degrade. If your home is on the older side and you haven't replaced the water lines yet, it's a good idea to schedule a plumbing inspection. This will help you determine what type of water line you have as well as identify any potential problems, such as high water pressure.
  • Chronic Leaks – If you find yourself fixing water leaks on a regular basis, there is likely a bigger issue at hand. It may be time to upgrade your home's water pipes to avoid further damage.
  • Signs of Corrosion – Excessive water pressure can cause minor leaks, corrosion on fixtures and connections at the water supply. Hard water is also damaging to pipes—causing them to wear before the end of their lifespan.

Whether your pipes are leaking or you're unsure of their condition, Cactus Plumbing and Air has a solution—professional water line repair and replacement in Mesa, AZ.

Water Line Repair

If a water line is leaking in an accessible location, repairing it is often the best option. Since soldering uses open flames and can be dangerous, repair should only be done by licensed professional plumbers familiar with the required tools.

It is sometimes necessary to open walls or ceilings when locating and repairing water lines.  A licensed repair specialist will set up safe containment and ensure that there are no potential health hazards involved.

If your home is leaking water and it has a slab foundation, sometimes the damage can be repaired directly. Many homeowners insurance policies will cover this type of repair, but it is not always the most permanent solution. Direct slab leak repairs only fix the section that is currently leaking--it does not prevent future leaks from occurring elsewhere in the line.
