Pipes don't last forever, and the way they fail tells us a lot about what they need next. A single pinhole leak in newer copper is usually a simple spot repair. Galvanized supply lines that are corroding throughout the house often need a planned re-pipe. McDade Plumbing handles every level of pipe repair across North Texas, from a single fitting in a wall to a full re-pipe of an older home.

We work on copper, PEX, CPVC, PVC, galvanized steel, and cast iron — repairing what's worth repairing and replacing what's at the end of its life. Every repair is sized for the existing system, properly supported, and tested under pressure before we close any wall or floor.

Our goal is always to give you a real, lasting answer. We're not the plumber who upsells a re-pipe on a five-year-old house, and we're not the plumber who keeps patching a system that should have been replaced years ago.

Common Causes

Corrosion in old galvanized steel

Galvanized pipe corrodes from the inside out, eventually failing in multiple places. A whole-house re-pipe is often the better long-term answer.

Freezing temperatures

Even a single hard freeze in North Texas can rupture exterior or attic pipes that aren't insulated.

Pinhole leaks in copper

Older copper develops pinholes from corrosion. Single spots can be repaired; widespread issues warrant re-pipe planning.

Slab leaks under the foundation

Hot or cold supply lines in the slab can rub on rebar or corrode. Targeted repair or re-route is usually possible without breaking up the whole floor.

Failed PEX or CPVC fittings

Even modern fittings occasionally fail. We replace the bad joint and confirm the rest of the system is healthy.

Tree root pressure on drain lines

Roots can crack or crush exterior drain lines, requiring spot repair or full replacement of the affected section.

High water pressure

Pressure above about 80 psi shortens the life of every pipe and fitting. We test and recommend a pressure-reducing valve when needed.

Warning Signs to Watch For

  • Visible leaks or stains

    Wet spots, drips, and discoloration on ceilings or walls are obvious indicators that a pipe is leaking somewhere above.

  • Low water pressure

    A long-term decline in water pressure can mean mineral buildup or partial blockages from corroding pipe walls.

  • Discolored water

    Rusty or yellow water is a classic galvanized pipe symptom and often a sign that re-pipe should be on the calendar.

  • Frequent leaks in different spots

    More than one leak per year on an older system usually means the pipes themselves — not the fittings — are failing.

  • Banging pipes (water hammer)

    Loud banging when valves close often points to air pockets, missing arrestors, or aging pipe support that should be addressed.

  • Unusually high water bills

    A creeping water bill often means a hidden pipe leak rather than a change in usage.

  • Cracks in drywall or flooring near plumbing

    Slow leaks soften drywall and warp floors over time, even when standing water never shows.

Our Repair Process

  1. 01

    Diagnosis and pressure testing

    We test the system, confirm where the leak or weakness is, and rule out other possible causes.

  2. 02

    Repair scope and clear quote

    You get an honest plan — spot repair, partial replacement, or planned re-pipe — with flat-rate pricing.

  3. 03

    Quality materials

    We use the right material for the job: copper, PEX, or CPVC matched to the existing system and Texas code.

  4. 04

    Proper supports and routing

    Pipes are properly secured, sloped, and routed so the repair lasts.

  5. 05

    Pressure test before close-up

    Every repair is pressure-tested before any drywall or finish work is replaced.

  6. 06

    Cleanup and final walkthrough

    We restore the work area, document the repair, and explain how the new section fits with the rest of your system.

Benefits of Professional Pipe Repair

A clean repair or re-pipe brings back the pressure and flow you expect from a modern home.

Replacing corroded sections fixes discolored water and metallic taste.

Documented modern plumbing materials are a real selling point for any North Texas home.

Pipe Repair FAQ

Answers to the most common questions we hear about pipe repair.

A single isolated leak almost always means spot repair. When you've had multiple leaks in different parts of the house in the same year, or your pipes are galvanized steel, a planned re-pipe usually saves money in the long run.
