Detection of Water Leaks and Pipe Repair
Frozen Pipes
Here are five tips for keeping your pipes from freezing:
- Have your pipes in attics, crawl spaces and outside walls insulated.
- When the weather is freezing, leave kitchen or bathroom cabinet doors open to allow the warm air to protect the pipes, if the pipes are located on an outside wall.
- Allow a stream of water to flow from the faucet through pipes that are vulnerable to freezing.
- When the temperature is below freezing, keep thermostats at the same temperature at night as during the day.
- Every responsible person in the household should know where the main cut-off valve is located in your home. Tag it.
When you turn on your faucet and no water flows, you may have frozen water in your pipes. For safety reasons, you should call Maeser if you cannot thaw out your pipe with a hair dryer.
It is also advisable to be careful when turning on your outdoor spigots in the Spring. During the bitter cold, it is possible that your pipes were damaged and no signs were visible. Your spigots may not flow water if they have been damaged. Make sure you know where your main water cut-off valve is located.

What to Do When You Have a Water Leak
Until Maeser arrives to permanently fix the leaking pipe, you can follow a few tips to help prevent costly damage to your home.
- Your first step should be to locate your main water valve and turn it off. You can find the main water valve inside or outside your house, in the basement or crawl space, near where the water line enters the house.
- Next, inspect the leaking pipe and note its material. What is it made of? Copper or PVC? Observe whether the pipe or fitting is leaking and its diameter. This information can assist Maeser's service specialists in resolving your leak as quickly as possible.
Unless you are experienced in plumbing line repair, you shouldn't attempt to perform major repairs or replacements yourself. Even small mistakes can result in costly repairs.
Home gas leaks
Natural gas and propane are very dangerous substances that should not be worked with unless you are a trained professional, no matter how small the repair.
Re-piping
It is possible for a homeowner to experience a major problem due to pinhole leaks in copper pipes. In some cases, it is more effective to install an entirely new piping system in order to solve this plumbing problem. As part of the installation of the new piping system, the existing pipe will be removed and replaced with the new piping. It is common for old pipes to be abandoned and new pipes to be rerouted in order to reduce the destruction of the home. If you rely on a Maeser expert to handle the job, you will be guaranteed a successful outcome.
You can learn more about repiping by booking online or calling us. We are happy to explain the benefits of this process in more detail to you at Maeser.
In the event of a suspected gas leak in your home, evacuate your family immediately and call your gas company for assistance.
