Leak Repair
Water leaks waste thousands of gallons annually and cause extensive property damage. Millcreek Plumbing provides fast water leak repair services to protect your home and reduce water bills.
Types of Leaks We Repair
We handle pipe joint leaks, cracked or burst pipes, faucet and fixture leaks, water heater leaks, toilet leaks, under-slab leaks, burst water pipes or hoses, and wall and ceiling leaks.
Our Leak Repair Process
Every leak repair starts with diagnosis. We find the source of the leak, assess damage to surrounding areas, recommend solutions based on your budget and needs, complete the repair using quality materials, and test the system to confirm proper operation.
Pipe Materials We Work With
Our technicians work with all pipe materials found in Salt Lake area homes including copper pipes, PEX piping, CPVC pipes, PVC pipes, galvanized steel, and cast iron pipes. We recommend replacing galvanized steel and old cast iron pipes with modern materials for better longevity and water quality.
Leak Detection
Hidden leaks waste water and damage your home’s structure before you discover them. Millcreek Plumbing uses advanced technology to find leaks without damaging your property.
Signs You May Have a Hidden Leak
Watch for unexplained increases in water bills, sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, warm spots on floors, wet or discolored areas on walls or ceilings, musty odors or mold growth, and low water pressure throughout the home.
We’ll pinpoint the source of the leak and open as little drywall as possible.
Natural Gas Lines
Safe, reliable gas service requires proper installation and maintenance of gas lines. Millcreek Plumbing provides licensed gas line services for your home’s heating, cooking and hot water needs.
Gas Line Services
We handle new gas line installation, gas line repairs and replacements, gas leak detection and repair, gas appliance connections, gas line pressure testing, and upgrades from galvanized to modern materials.
Safety First
Gas lines must be fixed immediately when they leak. Our licensed technicians follow local codes and regulations, use proper materials and fittings, test all connections, respond to gas emergencies immediately, and obtain necessary permits.
Signs of Gas Leaks
If you suspect you have a gas leak, leave the home and call 911 or your Enbridge Gas’ emergency line from a safe spot. Once your utility company has secured the line, we’ll take care of the repair.
Video Drain Line Inspection & Sewer Scope
Stop guessing what’s happening inside your pipes. Millcreek Plumbing’s video inspection technology shows you the exact condition of your lines — without digging up your yard or opening walls. It’s how we diagnose pipe problems accurately before recommending a repair or replacement.
How Video Drain Inspection Works
We insert a waterproof, high-definition camera mounted on a flexible cable through your drain lines or cleanout access points. The camera transmits live footage to our monitor, showing exactly what’s inside your pipes. Our cameras navigate pipes from 2″ to 36″ in diameter and travel up to 200′ through your plumbing system.
Camera Drain Inspection
When your drains run slow or back up repeatedly, our drain camera inspection finds the exact problem without guesswork. We identify clogs, breaks and obstructions that traditional methods can’t reach and provide the best solution to restore proper drainage. If the camera turns up a straightforward clog rather than a damaged pipe, that’s usually a job for drain cleaning rather than a repair.
Sewer Scope Inspections
Frequent backups, unexplained odors or soggy spots in your yard indicate potential sewer line problems. Our sewer camera inspection shows what’s happening underground – from tree root intrusion to cracked pipes – before damage spreads to your foundation or landscaping.
Pipe Replacement
Not every pipe problem is worth repairing. When pipes are corroded, cracked, aging out, or failing repeatedly, replacement is often the smarter investment. Millcreek Plumbing handles full and partial repiping for Salt Lake City homes — from a single failing section to a complete replumb of an older home.
Signs You May Need Pipe Replacement
- Recurring leaks in the same area of the house
- Discolored or rust-colored water coming from the tap
- Low water pressure throughout the home, not just one fixture
- Pipes are galvanized steel and the home is more than 40 years old
- Visible corrosion or scaling on exposed pipe sections
- You’ve had multiple leaks in different spots within a short period
If the pipe in question is the underground supply line running from the street to your home rather than an interior line, that falls under main water line repair instead of interior repiping.
Pipe Materials We Install
We replace old pipe systems with modern, durable materials built to last:
- PEX (Cross-linked polyethylene) — The most common choice for residential repiping. Flexible, freeze-resistant, and significantly easier to install in existing walls than rigid pipe. Excellent long-term choice for most Salt Lake homes.
- Copper — Time-tested, durable, and preferred in some applications. Copper handles heat well and has a long service life when water chemistry cooperates.
- CPVC — A cost-effective rigid option suitable for both hot and cold water lines.
- PVC — Used for drain, waste, and vent lines.
If you’re not sure what your home has or what makes sense as a replacement, we’ll walk you through it before any work starts.
Full vs. Partial Repiping
We handle both. A partial repipe targets a specific failing section — one corroded line, one zone of the house. A full repipe replaces the entire supply system, which makes sense for homes with widespread galvanized pipe, major corrosion, or ongoing water quality issues. A full repipe is also common alongside a larger plumbing remodeling project, since walls are already open and it’s cheaper to handle both at once.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of which approach fits your situation.
Family Owned in Salt Lake City Since 2002
We opened Millcreek Plumbing in ’02 as a neighborhood plumbing company, and my brother and I come from a long line of general contractors. Now more than 20 years later, it’s still family owned and operated by my brother Dan and me. There’s no corporate office who sets our pricing, and our techs aren’t paid on commission.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a hidden leak?
There are a few common signs you’ve got a water leak, like a jump in your water bill, hearing running water when nothing is being used, or even wet or discolored spots on the walls or ceiling. Also lower water pressure could indicate a leak. Give us a call and we’ll come out to take a look before the damage spreads.
How long do pipes last in a Salt Lake City home?
It really depends on the pipe material. Copper pipes can last 50 years or more in most conditions, and PEX or PVC can also last that long. Most older Salt Lake City homes use galvanized steel which was common before the 1970s, and that material can last 40-70 years. Note that the age of the pipe doesn’t automatically mean they need replacement, but older systems are worth inspecting right now.
What is repiping and how do I know if I need it?
Repiping is another way of saying replacing the water supply lines throughout your home. This is done either fully or partially. If you’ve got recurring leaks, discolored water, constant low pressure, or an older home, we’ll inspect your pipes and tell you whether a repair or replacement makes sense.
Can you repair a pipe without opening the wall?
It really depends on the location and the type of leak. We’ll come out to take a look, and then let you know what type of access is needed. If we do need to open up a wall or ceiling to get to the source of the leak, we’ll work cleanly and try to minimize disruption as much as possible.
Do you work on gas lines?
We do! We can install a new gas line, repair an existing one, connect appliances, and do pressure testing. Natural gas line work requires licensing, and our techs are licensed to follow all local requirements.
