Pipe Repair Services in Eau Claire, WI

Which pipe repair service do I need?

Start with what you can see or hear. No water on a cold day points to a frozen pipe. Water spraying or coming through a ceiling points to a burst pipe. Slow drips and stains point to a leak. Trouble at every tap at once often means the water line or a main drain.

• Frozen Pipe Repair

  A tap gives nothing or only a trickle on a cold morning. How to warm the pipe safely and when to call.

• Burst Pipe Repair

  Water spraying from a pipe or coming through a ceiling. Close the main valve first, then call.

• Leaking Pipe Repair

  Slow drips under a sink, damp drywall, or a stain that keeps spreading.

• Water Line Repair

  Low pressure at every tap, or a wet patch in the yard between the street and the house.

• Drain Pipe Repair

  Water backing up in a floor drain, tub, or sink, or a sewage smell that will not go away.

• Repiping and Pipe Replacement

  Old pipes that keep leaking or give rusty water, and when replacing them is worth it.

What should I do first if water is escaping?

Close your main water shut-off valve. It is usually where the water line enters the house, often in the basement near the water meter. Turn it clockwise to close it. If water is near outlets or cords, stay away and switch off power at the breaker only if you can reach it safely.

If you smell gas, leave the home and call your gas utility or 911 from outside.

What do people ask before calling about a pipe problem?

Do I need to know the exact problem before I call?

No. Describe what you see, hear, or smell, and where in the house it is. That is enough for us to connect you with a local plumber who works on that kind of problem.

Is a frozen pipe the same as a burst pipe?

Not always. A frozen pipe has ice blocking the flow. It becomes a burst pipe if the ice splits it, which often shows up as a leak once the pipe thaws.

What if I have more than one problem?

Mention all of them when you call. A backed-up drain and a leak under a sink, for example, can be looked at on the same visit if the provider handles both.

Who does the repair?

An independent local provider in or near Eau Claire, WI. Eau Claire Pipe Repair is a free referral service and does not carry out the work.

When does replacing pipes make sense?

When the same pipes keep leaking, the water runs rusty, or the pipes are a material that is no longer used. The repiping page explains what to look for.
