Plumbing Repairs

Plumbing repair is diagnostic work before it is mechanical work. The visible symptom — the wet baseboard, the pressure drop, the fixture that will not stop — is rarely where the failure is. A slab leak shows up as a warm floor two rooms away. A failed pressure-regulating valve shows up as a fixture that will not stop dripping. Replacing the fixture does not fix it.

That is why our repair process starts with isolating the cause and ends with a written scope you approve, rather than starting with a price for a part.

Warning signs

• A water bill that climbs without a change in how the property is used
• Wet drywall, warm spots on a slab floor, or a musty smell near a wall or cabinet base
• A fixture that keeps running, refills on its own, or drips after being shut off
• Water pressure that drops across the whole building, not just one fixture
• A shutoff valve that will not close fully, weeps at the stem, or will not turn at all
• Banging or hammering in the walls when a valve or appliance closes

What RePlumbify inspects and performs

• Isolate the failure — meter checks, pressure tests, valve-by-valve isolation and access inspection
• Repair or replace supply lines, angle stops, shutoff valves, hose bibbs and mixing valves
• Repair or replace drain, waste and vent piping in accessible locations
• Repair or replace failed fixtures, trim, cartridges, fill valves and flush valves
• Repair pressure-regulating valves and diagnose whole-building pressure problems
• Repair or replace water-heater connections, expansion tanks and relief piping
• Document the failure and the repair with photos for owners, managers and insurers

What to expect

1. 01You describe the symptomOnline, by phone, or through the property-manager intake. Photos help more than descriptions — send them if you can.
2. 02We confirm a service windowRequested windows are proposals until dispatch confirms them. You get a confirmation with the actual window before anyone is sent out.
3. 03We diagnose on siteThe technician finds the failure before quoting the repair. If access, demolition or a specialty trade is needed to reach it, that is identified up front.
4. 04You approve a written scopeYou receive the scope and price in writing before work starts. Nothing is added to the job without a new approval.
5. 05We complete and documentThe repair is completed, the area is left clean, and you receive photo documentation of the failure and the finished work.

Residential and commercial

For homes and condominiums. For homeowners, the priority is usually stopping active damage first and then deciding on the permanent repair. We will tell you plainly when a repair is a reasonable fix and when it is money spent on a system that is going to fail again.

For commercial and multifamily buildings. For commercial and multifamily buildings, repairs are scheduled around occupancy, business hours and water-shutdown notice requirements. We can work to a not-to-exceed authorization limit and provide the documentation your accounting or ownership group needs.
