Leak Repair for Tempe homes
In Tempe homes built before the mid-1980s, leaks often come from aging copper or galvanized lines rather than a single bad fitting. We find the leak, repair it, and tell you if the rest of that line is likely to follow.
Slab leaks are also more common in older Tempe homes where copper runs directly through the concrete. A warm spot on the floor or a meter that moves with everything off are the classic signs.

Leak Repair: quick answers
- Signs of a hidden leak
- A rising water bill, the meter moving with everything off, damp drywall, warm floor spots, or a mildew smell.
- What to do right now
- Close the fixture valve or the main shut-off, move valuables, and photograph the damage for insurance.
- Repair or repipe
- One leak is a repair. Repeated pinhole leaks in the same copper or galvanized line usually mean that section should be replaced.
- How long it takes
- Most fixture and supply line leaks are fixed in one visit. Pipe sections inside walls can take longer.
