Our Capabilities
How Masters Plumbing Service Approaches Pipe Repair in Jericho
The biggest cost variable in pipe repair isn't parts โ it's how much structure gets opened to find and access the failure. Precise pre-repair location tools reduce that cost significantly.
๐
Acoustic Leak Detection
Acoustic detection is most effective on pressurized supply lines. Combined with a pressure test to confirm water loss before we start, it tells us both that there's a leak and exactly where it is.
๐ก๏ธ
Thermal Camera Scanning
We use thermal imaging as a complement to acoustic detection โ particularly useful for slab leaks and leaks inside insulated wall cavities where sound transmission is reduced.
๐ ๏ธ
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.
๐
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.
Our Pipe Repair Services
Pipe Repair Solutions for Jericho Homes
From a pinhole copper leak behind a kitchen cabinet to a full galvanized repiping, our pipe crew in Jericho, NY handles the full range.
Copper
Copper Pipe Repair & Repipe
Pitting corrosion in copper is sometimes systemic rather than localized โ 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
Galvanized steel pipe was standard in homes built before the 1960s. It corrodes from the inside out โ zinc coating depletes, iron oxide (rust) accumulates on the inner wall, progressively narrowing flow and leaching into the water supply. Repairs on severely corroded galvanized are generally temporary; the pipe is failing systemically along its full run.
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
We also inspect upstream of the burst for additional sections that froze but haven't yet failed โ because a partially-thawed line sometimes shows multiple failure points only after pressure is restored.
Slab Leaks
Under-Slab Pipe Leak Repair
Slab leak rerouting is often more cost-effective than direct access, particularly for longer runs or under tiled floors. We present the options honestly with pricing so you can choose based on your priorities.
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.
We don't open walls at random. Acoustic and thermal detection tools tell us exactly where to cut before we pick up a saw.
1
Call & Describe โ We Shut the Water If Needed
Active leak? Our dispatcher walks you through shutting off the main supply valve while we drive to you. Describing what you see โ water stain on a ceiling, drop in water pressure, wet flooring โ helps us arrive with the right detection tools loaded.
2
Pressure Test & Acoustic / Thermal Detection
This detection step routinely saves homeowners $500โ$2,000 in unnecessary drywall removal compared to opening walls speculatively.
3
Flat-Rate Quote & Minimal Access Opening
For slab leaks, we present repair, reroute, and lining options with pricing so you can make an informed choice before any concrete is cut.
4
Repair & Pressure Test โ Then You're Done
Repair executes immediately on approval. After the repair, we repressurize and hold a pressure test to confirm the failure is fully resolved โ not partially. The access opening is left clean for your drywall patch or left ready for your contractor.
Customer Reviews
What Jericho Customers Say About Our Pipe Work
โ โ โ โ โ
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 โ no torch in my wall โ pressure tested, and patched the drywall themselves. Two hours total.

Our galvanized supply lines finally gave out โ 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.

Pipe burst in a rental property at 2 AM โ Masters Plumbing Service's emergency line answered immediately, talked my tenant through the main shutoff, and had a tech there in 45 minutes. Freeze crack in a PEX line in an exterior wall. Repair and insulation wrap done in under two hours. Detailed receipt for insurance documentation. Exactly what I needed as a landlord dealing with a crisis remotely.

Common Questions
Pipe Repair FAQ for Jericho, NY 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 โ particularly for older copper systems with multiple pinhole failures along a supply run โ 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.
A slab leak is a supply line or drain line failure in a pipe that runs through or under the concrete foundation slab. Supply line slab leaks are the more urgent scenario โ pressurized water escaping under the slab saturates the subgrade, can undermine the foundation, and drives significant water bills.
Galvanized pipe corrodes from the interior outward โ by the time one section fails, the rest of the pipe is in varying stages of the same process. A localized repair buys time, but another section typically fails within 1โ3 years if the system is at end of life. The honest answer is: it depends on how far along the corrosion is and how many sections are already narrowed or showing surface rust.
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.
