Our Capabilities

How Masters Plumbing Service Approaches Pipe Repair in Wixom

The biggest cost variable in pipe repair isn't parts — it's how much structure gets opened to find and access the failure. Precise pre-repair location tools reduce that cost significantly.

🔊

Acoustic Leak Detection

Pressurized water escaping a pipe creates a characteristic acoustic signature. Our listening devices amplify ground and structure-borne sound to pinpoint a leak location within inches — through concrete slabs, behind drywall, or under flooring. This means we open only the section of wall, floor, or slab directly over the failure.

🌡️

Thermal Camera Scanning

Active water leaks create temperature differentials on wall and floor surfaces detectable with an infrared camera. A slow leak inside a wall shows as a cold, spreading zone; a hot water line leak shows the inverse. Thermal imaging confirms leak presence and approximate location before any cutting begins.

🛠️

All Pipe Materials & Joining Methods

Our techs are proficient in copper sweating (soldering), press-fit connections (ProPress system), CPVC solvent welding, PEX crimp and expansion fitting installation, threaded galvanized repair, and ABS/PVC drain line work. We match the repair method and material to the existing pipe system rather than forcing incompatible transitions.

🔒

Pressure-Tested Before We Leave

Drain line repairs are water-tested by running fixtures through the repaired section and visually confirming no seepage at the repair joint and downstream.

Every Pipe Repair Type We Handle in Wixom, MI

Pipe failures have different causes depending on material type, age, water chemistry, and installation history. Here's how we address each category.

Copper

Copper Pipe Repair & Repipe

Pitting corrosion in copper is sometimes systemic rather than localized — a single pinhole is often the first of several to appear. When the camera or pressure test finds multiple deteriorated sections, we give you an honest assessment of whether targeted repair or full copper repipe is the better long-term answer.

Galvanized

Galvanized Pipe Replacement

We replace galvanized supply lines with copper or PEX — either as targeted section replacement at active failure points or as a full-house repipe project. We connect the new material to existing fittings using dielectric unions where code requires to prevent galvanic corrosion at copper-to-galvanized transitions.

PEX

PEX Pipe Repair & Extension

Cross-linked polyethylene (PEX) is the current standard for residential supply piping. Failures are uncommon but occur at crimp or clamp fittings that were improperly installed, at pipe runs exposed to UV degradation, or at locations where the pipe was kinked during installation. We repair using expansion fittings (for PEX-A) or crimp fittings with the correct ring size for the pipe diameter.

Burst Pipes

Burst & Freeze-Damaged Pipe Repair

A burst pipe from freezing or sudden pressure surge requires immediate water shutoff and precise repair. We locate the failure, determine whether it's a single failure point or multiple freeze-damaged sections, and repair with a method appropriate to the pipe material — press-fit coupling for copper, expansion coupling for PEX-A, or a mechanical repair coupling for emergency situations.

Slab Leaks

Under-Slab Pipe Leak Repair

Supply line leaks under a concrete slab are identified by acoustic detection and confirmed by thermal imaging. Once located, we evaluate three repair options: direct-access repair (jackhammering to the pipe, repairing the section, and patching the slab); rerouting the line through the wall framing above slab to bypass the failed underground run; or epoxy pipe lining for older copper systems with systemic pinhole corrosion.

Full Repipe

Whole-House Repipe Service

When galvanized supply lines are at end of life or polybutylene pipe (recalled for chronic failure) is in the home, a full repipe with PEX or copper is the permanent solution. We run new supply lines through the structure, transition all fixture connections, pressure test the entire new system, and patch access points in walls and ceilings.

Our Process

Locate It, Quote It, Fix It, Test It

Here's how a Masters Plumbing Service pipe repair call plays out in Wixom, MI.

Call & Describe — We Shut the Water If Needed

For emergency burst pipe calls, we dispatch immediately. For suspected slow leaks, we schedule at the earliest available slot and confirm before arrival.

Pressure Test & Acoustic / Thermal Detection

We pressurize the supply system and monitor for pressure drop to confirm an active leak. Then acoustic listening devices and the thermal camera locate the failure to within a small area — telling us which section of wall, floor, or slab to open.

Flat-Rate Quote & Minimal Access Opening

You receive a flat-rate quote covering the specific repair based on what the detection confirmed. We open only what needs to be opened — typically a 12–18 inch drywall or flooring access, not a full wall section.

Repair & Pressure Test — Then You're Done

You receive a written summary of what failed, what we installed, and the warranty terms before we leave.

Customer Reviews

What Wixom Customers Say About Our Pipe Work

★★★★★

My older home had a copper supply line fail inside an exterior wall. The thermal camera showed the wet zone through the drywall without any cutting. They opened a 10-inch section right at the pinhole, put in a press-fit repair coupling — no torch in my wall — pressure tested, and patched the drywall themselves. Two hours total.

— N. Bergman, Wixom

★★★★★

Our galvanized supply lines finally gave out — low pressure everywhere, rust-colored water at some fixtures. Masters Plumbing Service repiped the whole house with PEX over two days. They confirmed pressure and flow at every fixture before leaving, patched all the wall access points smooth, and cleaned up each work area. One year later, no issues at all.

— O. & R. Adeyemi, Wixom, MI

★★★★★

I noticed my water meter spinning with all fixtures off — confirmed a leak in the supply system. Masters Plumbing Service ran a pressure test and acoustic scan, found a pinhole in a copper section under the slab in the utility room. They rerouted the line through the wall above slab, tested, and closed out the permit. The reroute was exactly the same cost as direct slab access would have been, but no damaged floor tile.

Common Questions

Pipe Repair FAQ for Wixom, MI Homeowners

Watch your water meter with all fixtures off. If the meter dial is moving or the leak indicator light is turning, water is escaping somewhere in your supply system. Other signs: unexplained increases in your monthly water bill, soft or discolored spots on walls or ceilings, mold or mildew smell in a room without a visible source, or a running sound inside walls when all fixtures are off.

In some cases — particularly for older copper systems with multiple pinhole failures along a supply run — rerouting the line through accessible framing rather than repairing it in place is more practical and more permanent. We present both options when they're both viable.

Repair options include direct slab access (jackhammer to the pipe, repair, patch), rerouting the supply line above slab through framing, and for copper systems with multiple pinhole failures, epoxy pipe lining from inside the pipe without excavation. We use acoustic and thermal detection to locate the leak before recommending a repair approach.

We assess galvanized condition when we're on-site — visible exterior corrosion, interior scale visible at the cut failure point, and water pressure readings all tell us how advanced the system deterioration is. We give you the repair-vs-repipe math honestly so you can make the decision that fits your timeline and budget.

We don't rush pressure testing at the end. That's the step that confirms the repair is actually complete, and it takes the time it takes.

For slab access openings, we clean up concrete debris, complete the pipe repair, and patch the concrete. Tile or flooring restoration over a slab patch is normally a separate trade.
