Leaks in Hinsdale Homes

In Hinsdale, a small leak often sits behind finishes that are expensive to replace.

Plaster and Custom Tile

We pinpoint the leak first so only a small opening is needed.

Old Galvanized and Cast Iron

Older homes may still have original pipe that corrodes and leaks at the joints.

Upstairs Baths Over Finished Rooms

A slow leak can show up far from its source. If a pipe has burst, see burst pipe repair.
