John C. Flood provides a range of pipe repair solutions that address issues quickly and effectively. Our goal is to restore your home’s plumbing while minimizing disruption.
Leak repair involves sealing, tightening, or replacing defective pipe sections to stop water from escaping. This prevents minor drips from becoming major water damage, protecting both your home and your plumbing system.
Cracked or fractured pipes are repaired using replacement fittings or section rebuilds to restore structural integrity. Addressing these issues early helps maintain consistent water flow and prevents leaks from worsening over time.
Burst pipes require immediate attention to prevent extensive water damage. Our team stops leaks quickly and replaces damaged sections to restore safe, reliable plumbing.
Frozen pipes can crack or burst if left untreated, leading to serious water damage. While homeowners can take preventative steps like insulating pipes, professional repair ensures thorough thawing and replacement of any damaged sections.
Under-sink and interior pipe repairs deal with the specific corrosion, wear, and fixture-related issues that can disrupt your home’s plumbing. Fixing these problems restores proper function and prevents leaks in hard-to-reach areas.
Replacing outdated or unsafe plumbing, such as polybutylene pipes, improves both safety and efficiency. Upgrading to modern materials gives you long-term reliability and reduces the risk of leaks or failure in older homes.
In some cases, a problem is too big for a simple pipe repair. Unfortunately, in those cases, full or partial pipe replacement may be necessary.
Typical situations where replacement is recommended include:
A professional assessment gives you peace of mind that the replacements are being performed in accordance with local codes and that your plumbing system is being restored to full function.
A burst pipe can quickly cause severe water damage. Immediate attention is critical. If you suspect a burst pipe, the first step is to shut off your main water supply to prevent further flooding. Remove any valuables from the affected area and, if possible, contain the water using buckets or towels. These temporary measures can limit damage while you call a professional.

Small leaks, minor corrosion, or isolated damage can often be repaired. Widespread corrosion, repeated leaks, outdated materials, or burst pipes may require full replacement. A professional inspection is the best way to find the safest solution.
Immediately shut off your main water supply to prevent further flooding. Remove any valuables from the affected area and contain water where possible with towels and buckets. Then contact a licensed plumber to make necessary repairs or replacements.
It depends on the type and extent of the problem. Minor repairs can often be completed in a few hours. Full repiping may take one to several days. A good plumber can provide a more accurate timeline before they begin work.
Not always. While some frozen pipes may thaw and return to normal, cracks or small leaks caused by freezing can go unnoticed and lead to future water damage. Professional inspection and repair ensure any damage is addressed safely.
