The main types of water pipe leaks are pinhole leaks (slow corrosion through pipe walls), joint leaks (failed fittings or solder), pressure-burst leaks (sudden ruptures from freeze or surge), slab leaks (under-floor), and supply-line leaks (corroded supply hoses to fixtures). Each requires a different repair approach.
Common leak types
- Pinhole leaks — Slow corrosion, copper pipe
- Joint leaks — Failed fittings, solder, or unions
- Pressure-burst — Frozen or surge-damaged pipe
- Slab leaks — Pipe failure under concrete
- Supply line leaks — Aging fixture supply hoses
We diagnose with leak detection and repair via water line repair or whole-home repiping.
