When your pipes are working correctly, you don’t think about them. You turn on the faucet and water flows at the right pressure. Your water bills stay predictable. There’s no rust-colored water or mysterious wet spots appearing on walls.
That’s what proper pipe repair delivers. Instead of dealing with the stress of wondering when the next leak will spring or watching your water pressure drop week after week, you get reliable plumbing that works the way it should.
Most importantly, you avoid the nightmare scenario of coming home to water damage from a burst pipe that could have been prevented with the right repair at the right time.
We’ve been fixing pipes in Shingle Springs and El Dorado County since we started our business over two decades ago. We’re the local plumbing company your neighbors call when they need work done right.
As a family-owned business, we keep our overhead low and pass those savings on to you. That means fair pricing without sacrificing quality workmanship. We’ve built our reputation on showing up when we say we will, diagnosing problems accurately, and fixing them to last.
Many of the homes in our area were built decades ago with galvanized pipes that are now reaching the end of their useful life. We understand the unique challenges of older plumbing systems and have the experience to handle everything from simple repairs to complete repiping projects.
First, we diagnose the problem using the right tools for the job. That might mean using our sewer camera to see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes, or it could be a visual inspection to identify the source of a leak. We don’t guess—we find the actual problem.
Next, we explain what we found and give you an upfront price for the repair. No surprises, no hidden fees. You’ll know exactly what the work involves and what it costs before we start.
Then we fix it using quality materials and proven techniques. Whether that means replacing a section of corroded galvanized pipe with modern PEX, soldering a copper joint, or addressing a more complex issue, we handle the repair properly so it lasts. We clean up when we’re done and make sure everything is working correctly before we leave.

Our pipe repair service covers everything from small leaks to major pipe replacement projects. We work with all types of pipe materials—copper, galvanized steel, PEX, and CPVC—so we can match your existing system or upgrade you to something better.
For Shingle Springs homeowners, this is especially important because many homes in our area have aging galvanized pipes that were installed 50+ years ago. These pipes corrode from the inside out, causing low water pressure, rust-colored water, and eventually leaks that can damage your home.
We also handle the permits when needed and coordinate any wall or floor repairs that might be necessary to access your pipes. The goal is to solve your plumbing problem completely, not just patch it temporarily. When we’re done, your pipes work reliably and you have peace of mind knowing the repair was done right.
Several warning signs indicate your pipes need attention. Low water pressure throughout your home often means your pipes are clogged with mineral buildup or corrosion—common with older galvanized pipes. Rust-colored or metallic-tasting water is another clear sign that your pipes are deteriorating from the inside.
Frequent small leaks are often a symptom of a bigger problem. If you’re calling a plumber every few months for different leaks, your pipe system is likely failing and needs more comprehensive attention. Homes in Shingle Springs that are 50+ years old with original galvanized plumbing almost always benefit from repiping rather than ongoing repairs.
We can assess your specific situation with a thorough inspection and let you know whether a targeted repair will solve your problem or if it makes more sense to replace sections of your plumbing system.
We repair and replace all common residential pipe materials. For older Shingle Springs homes, we frequently work with galvanized steel pipes that were standard decades ago but are now corroding and causing problems. We also handle copper pipes, which are durable but can develop pinhole leaks over time.
For replacements, we typically recommend PEX piping because it’s flexible, doesn’t corrode, handles temperature changes well, and costs less than copper while lasting just as long. PEX is also easier to install in existing homes because it requires fewer fittings and can often be run through walls without major demolition.
The choice depends on your specific situation, budget, and how much of your plumbing system needs attention. We’ll explain the pros and cons of each option so you can make an informed decision about what works best for your home.
Pipe repair costs depend on several factors: the extent of the problem, the type of pipe material, and how accessible the pipes are. Simple repairs like fixing a small leak in an exposed pipe might cost a few hundred dollars. More complex jobs involving pipe replacement or hard-to-reach areas will cost more.
For perspective, replacing a section of galvanized pipe with modern PEX typically runs less than dealing with repeated leak repairs over time. Many homeowners are surprised to learn that a proactive pipe replacement can actually save money compared to ongoing emergency repairs, higher water bills, and potential water damage.
We provide upfront pricing after we diagnose the problem, so you’ll know exactly what the repair costs before we start work. As a local business with low overhead, we can often beat the prices of larger plumbing companies while providing the same quality work.
In many cases, yes. We use several techniques to minimize damage to your home during pipe repairs. Our sewer camera inspection helps us pinpoint exactly where the problem is, so we only access the areas that actually need repair rather than guessing and opening up walls unnecessarily.
For some repairs, we can access pipes through existing openings like crawl spaces, basements, or utility areas. When we do need to open walls, we make the smallest opening possible to complete the repair properly, and we can coordinate with local contractors for drywall and paint restoration.
Trenchless repair methods are also available for certain situations, especially with sewer lines and some water lines. These techniques allow us to repair or replace pipes with minimal excavation and disruption to your property. The best approach depends on your specific situation, which we’ll assess during our initial inspection.
We understand that pipe emergencies don’t wait for convenient times. When you have a burst pipe or major leak, every minute counts to prevent water damage to your home. We prioritize emergency calls and often provide same-day service for urgent situations.
For Shingle Springs residents, our local presence means faster response times compared to companies based farther away. We keep our trucks stocked with common repair materials so we can often complete repairs on the first visit rather than having to return with parts.
If you’re dealing with a pipe emergency, the first step is to shut off your main water valve to stop the flow. Then call us right away. We’ll walk you through any immediate steps to minimize damage and get someone to your home as quickly as possible to assess the situation and make the necessary repairs.
Yes, we stand behind our work with a warranty on both materials and workmanship. The specific warranty terms depend on the type of repair and materials used, but we want you to have confidence that your pipe repair will last.
Our approach focuses on fixing problems correctly the first time rather than providing quick patches that fail later. We use quality materials and proven repair techniques, and we take the time to do the job right even if it takes a little longer.
If you experience any issues with our repair work during the warranty period, we’ll return to address the problem at no additional cost. As a local business that’s been serving Shingle Springs for over 24 years, our reputation depends on customer satisfaction and quality workmanship that stands the test of time.
