Pipe failures range from a slow pinhole leak weeping inside a wall to a full main line rupture. Locating the failure precisely — before opening drywall or digging — is the skill that separates a clean, affordable repair from an expensive and destructive guessing operation. Masters Plumbing Service's pipe technicians in Bath, ME use acoustic listening devices and thermal imaging cameras to find the leak first, then open only what needs to be opened.

Our Capabilities

4 Things That Define Our Pipe Repair Service in Bath, ME

Our techs work on every pipe material found in Bath, ME homes, from pre-1970s galvanized to modern PEX-A crosslinked systems. The repair method matches the pipe.

🔊

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.

🌡️

Thermal Camera Scanning

We use thermal imaging as a complement to acoustic detection — particularly useful for slab leaks and leaks inside insulated wall cavities where sound transmission is reduced.

🛠️

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.

🔒

Pressure-Tested Before We Leave

Every supply line repair is pressure-tested before we close the wall or floor. We pressurize the repaired section, hold the test pressure for the required duration, and confirm zero drop before considering the repair complete. You don't find out there's a second leak next week — we find it before we pack up.

Our Pipe Repair Services

Pipe Repair Solutions for Bath Homes

From a pinhole copper leak behind a kitchen cabinet to a full galvanized repiping, our pipe crew in Bath, ME handles the full range.

Copper

Copper Pipe Repair & Repipe

Pitting corrosion in copper is sometimes systemic rather than localized — 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

We replace galvanized supply lines with copper or PEX — either as targeted section replacement at active failure points or as a full-house repipe project. We connect the new material to existing fittings using dielectric unions where code requires to prevent galvanic corrosion at copper-to-galvanized transitions.

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

A burst pipe from freezing or sudden pressure surge requires immediate water shutoff and precise repair. We locate the failure, determine whether it's a single failure point or multiple freeze-damaged sections, and repair with a method appropriate to the pipe material — press-fit coupling for copper, expansion coupling for PEX-A, or a mechanical repair coupling for emergency situations.

Slab Leaks

Under-Slab Pipe Leak Repair

Supply line leaks under a concrete slab are identified by acoustic detection and confirmed by thermal imaging. Once located, we evaluate three repair options: direct-access repair (jackhammering to the pipe, repairing the section, and patching the slab); rerouting the line through the wall framing above slab to bypass the failed underground run; or epoxy pipe lining for older copper systems with systemic pinhole corrosion.

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.

Our Process

From Leak to Fixed Pipe — 4 Precise Steps

We don't open walls at random. Acoustic and thermal detection tools tell us exactly where to cut before we pick up a saw.

Call & Describe — 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 — water stain on a ceiling, drop in water pressure, wet flooring — helps us arrive with the right detection tools loaded.

Pressure Test & Acoustic / Thermal Detection

This detection step routinely saves homeowners $500–$2,000 in unnecessary drywall removal compared to opening walls speculatively.

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.

Repair & Pressure Test — 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 — not partially. The access opening is left clean for your drywall patch or left ready for your contractor.

Customer Reviews

Real Pipe Repair Reviews from Bath, ME Homeowners

★★★★★

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 — no torch in my wall — pressure tested, and patched the drywall themselves. Two hours total.

— N. Bergman, Bath

★★★★★

Had an under-slab leak diagnosed by Masters Plumbing Service with acoustic equipment. They found the leak at 6 feet from the wall — a single copper elbow that had developed a pinhole. Presented three options: direct slab access, reroute through the wall framing above, or copper lining. I chose the reroute — they ran a new PEX line through the crawl space and connected at both ends without touching the slab. Pressure tested, verified no remaining drop. No jackhammering at all.

— O. & R. Adeyemi, Bath, ME

★★★★★

I noticed my water meter spinning with all fixtures off — confirmed a leak in the supply system. Masters Plumbing Service ran a pressure test and acoustic scan, found a pinhole in a copper section under the slab in the utility room. They rerouted the line through the wall above slab, tested, and closed out the permit. The reroute was exactly the same cost as direct slab access would have been, but no damaged floor tile.

Common Questions

Pipe Repair Questions We Answer Every Day

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 — particularly for older copper systems with multiple pinhole failures along a supply run — 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.

Repair options include direct slab access (jackhammer to the pipe, repair, patch), rerouting the supply line above slab through framing, and for copper systems with multiple pinhole failures, epoxy pipe lining from inside the pipe without excavation. We use acoustic and thermal detection to locate the leak before recommending a repair approach.

We assess galvanized condition when we're on-site — visible exterior corrosion, interior scale visible at the cut failure point, and water pressure readings all tell us how advanced the system deterioration is. We give you the repair-vs-repipe math honestly so you can make the decision that fits your timeline and budget.

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.

Our pipe repair quote includes clean access cuts and leaving the opening ready for patching — with a clean, straight cut that accepts a standard drywall patch. We can typically patch the access opening as part of the job on request, though finish painting and texture matching are typically handled by the homeowner or a drywall contractor for best cosmetic results.
