A small leak rarely stays small. Water that drips inside a wall or seeps from an underground line can rot framing, grow mold, and run up your water bill for months before you see it. Haining provides water leak repair in Grand Junction for leaking pipes inside your home and broken water lines outside it, and we find the source before we fix it.
Our plumbers have served the Grand Valley since 1972. We repair copper, PEX, galvanized, and older pipe materials, and we’ll tell you honestly when a repair will hold and when the pipe needs more than a patch.
Signs of a Hidden Water Leak
Some leaks are easy to spot. Others hide behind drywall, under floors, or below your yard. Watch for these signs:
- A water bill that jumps without a change in how you use water
- Damp spots, stains, or bubbling paint on walls and ceilings
- Low water pressure at one or more fixtures
- A musty smell or mold in cabinets, closets, or the basement
- The sound of running water when everything is turned off
- A water meter that keeps moving when no water is in use
- Soggy patches or unusually green grass in the yard
If you see any of these, our leak detection service can pinpoint the source without tearing open walls or digging up your yard on a guess.
Pipe Leak Repair
Interior pipe leaks usually show up at joints, fittings, and valves, or along older pipe that has corroded from the inside. They’re common under sinks, behind toilets and washing machines, and in walls and ceilings below bathrooms.
Our plumbers repair the damaged section, replace failing fittings and valves, and check nearby pipe for the same weakness. If your home has aging galvanized pipe or keeps springing new leaks, we may recommend repiping as the long-term fix instead of repeated repairs.
Freezing is one of the most common causes of interior pipe leaks in Grand Junction. Pipes in exterior walls, garages, crawlspaces, and under sinks on outside walls are most at risk. When water inside them freezes, it expands and can split the pipe or loosen a fitting. Many homeowners don’t find the damage until days later, when the ice melts and water starts seeping into drywall or flooring. We repair the split section and can recommend insulation or rerouting to keep it from happening again.
Water Line Repair
Your main water line runs underground from the meter to your home. When it leaks, you may notice low pressure throughout the house, wet ground along the line’s path, or a water bill that keeps climbing. Ground movement, tree roots, corrosion, and freezing can all damage a water line.
We locate the leak along the line, explain your repair options, and restore service as quickly as possible. Depending on the damage, that might mean repairing a single section or replacing the line. We’ll walk you through the trade-offs before any digging begins.
Outdoor hose bibs and irrigation connections are another frequent source of exterior leaks. A frost-free hose bib can still crack if a hose is left connected through a hard freeze, and the leak often runs back inside the wall. If you see water at the base of an outside wall in spring, or wet spots in a finished basement near an outdoor spigot, it’s worth having us check the connection.
