Find it first, then fix it
Visible leaks can be repaired straight away. For hidden leaks, the repair starts with leak detection so nothing is opened in the wrong place. For slab leaks, the usual repairs are a spot repair, a reroute or a repipe — see slab leak repair options.

Preventing frozen pipes
In central Indiana winters, pipes in exterior walls, crawl spaces, garages and unheated areas are most at risk. Keep the heat on, open cabinet doors on exterior walls during hard freezes, disconnect garden hoses, and know where your main shutoff is.
What to do before we arrive
- Close the main water shutoff valve.
- If a pipe is frozen but not burst, open the faucet it feeds and keep the area warm — never use an open flame.
- Turn off power to any area where water is near outlets, from a dry spot only.
- Take photos for insurance.
After the repair
We test the repaired line under pressure. For hidden leaks, you also get the photos and readings from the detection for your insurer.
What affects the cost
The cost depends on where the pipe is, how it’s accessed, the pipe material and whether leak detection is needed first. Repairs are carried out by our plumbing partner. Every home is different, so call and describe the problem for an accurate quote.
