Why North Hills Copper Pipes Keep Springing Pinhole Leaks
What causes them, how to spot one early, and when a repair beats a repipe.
Burst pipe at 2am. Sewage in the basement. A water heater that quit on a Sunday. We show up the same day with a fully stocked van, flat rate pricing up front, and no service call fee to walk through the door.
We clear the clog, then show you exactly what is going on inside the line on camera. No guessing, no upsell theater. New customers, one per household.
From a dripping faucet to a collapsed sewer lateral, our licensed plumbers handle it with flat rate pricing quoted before a single tool comes out of the van.
Burst pipes, gas leaks, sewage backups and no hot water. We answer around the clock and dispatch the same day.

We cover the City of Pittsburgh plus Allegheny, Washington, Beaver and Butler counties. That includes the South Hills, North Hills, the East End and the river boroughs. If you are not sure whether you are in range, call and ask.
Many Pittsburgh area boroughs require a dye test and camera inspection before a property can change hands, to confirm your storm and sanitary lines are properly separated. We are NASSCO certified, so our reports use industry standard coding and are accepted by the boroughs that require them.
Often, yes. Trenchless sewer lining installs a durable liner inside your existing pipe, creating a new pipe within the old one. It seals cracks, blocks root intrusion and restores flow without excavating the whole lawn. We will camera the line first and tell you honestly whether lining or a dig repair is the right call.
Yes. We offer flexible financing on plumbing services so a major repair like a sewer replacement or water heater install does not have to be paid in one hit. Ask our technician about current options while they are on site.
