Leaks found and fixed properly. No guessing. Serving Kensington and all of Montgomery County, MD.

Call (301) 395-3831

A plumbing leak in your Kensington home needs to be diagnosed correctly before any repair starts. Jacob has over 10 years finding leaks others miss and fixing them the right way. He tells you exactly what is leaking, why, and what the repair involves before any work begins.

Kensington is a small historic town with well-kept older homes. Residents here take their homes seriously and expect work to be done carefully, with attention to how it affects the rest of the property.

Plumbing Leak Repair in Kensington, MD: What Local Homes Require

Copper supply lines in Kensington homes from the 1920s through 1950s develop pinhole leaks from mineral corrosion on the inside wall of the pipe, and the first pinhole is rarely the only one. Jacob finds and repairs the active leak but also looks at the surrounding pipe run for additional corrosion pitting, because a second leak in the same pipe section within six months is a common outcome if only the first is addressed. In some Kensington downtown and National Park Seminary area homes, a section of original copper is due for full replacement rather than spot repair.
