Pipe Repair

Broken pipes can cause a terrible disruption in you home. Pressurized pipes supplying water may leak slightly, slowly rotting your home and creating mold. A pressurized pipe could also burst suddenly if it freezes or cracks. This can cause flooding and water damage to the home and its contents. If you find a leak in your home it is important to shut the water off to that area immediately. There should be a ball or gate valve near the affected area.

The drain and ventilation pipes in your home are also susceptible to cracks and leaks. A leaky drain pipe under a sink is a nuisance and can also cause rot where areas are wet for prolonged periods. A crack or hole in a vent pipe won't have a visible indication that it is broken but it still presents a danger. Sewer gasses can vent in to your home through the damaged area and affecting the occupants.

Whether the damaged pipe is copper, galvanized, or PVC, the professionals at Mies Plumbing can make the repair and ensure it doesn't happen again. Give us a call today.
