Once a leak is found and confirmed, the next question is what to do about it. Here's how we think through that decision with every homeowner.
Choose repair if…This is your first leak, the rest of your plumbing is in good condition, and the leak is in an accessible location.
Choose reroute if…The leak is in a hard-to-access spot (like under a slab) but the rest of the system is sound — avoiding the problem section is more practical than repairing it in place.
Choose repipe if…You've had multiple leaks, your pipes are original copper from an older build, or discoloration and corrosion show up at multiple fixtures.
Consider your timelinePlanning to sell soon? A repipe can be a strong selling point. Staying long-term? It can prevent years of repeat repairs.
Consider your budgetA spot repair now doesn't rule out a planned repipe later — sometimes the right answer is doing this in stages.
