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.
Our Leak Detection Technology
We use acoustic sensors to hear water movement behind walls, thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature variations, moisture meters for precise humidity readings, video inspection equipment for underground pipes, and pressure testing to isolate problem areas.
Benefits of Professional Leak Detection
We provide exact location within inches, no damage to walls or floors, cost savings by catching problems early, full system inspection, and detailed reports for insurance claims.
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
Contact us immediately if you notice gas smell (rotten egg odor), hissing sounds near gas lines, dead landscaping near underground lines, or physical symptoms like headaches or dizziness. If you think you have a gas leak, turn off the gas supply, leave the area and call us from a safe location.
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.
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
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.
We’ll give you an honest assessment of which approach fits your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Common signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, the sound of running water when no fixtures are in use, warm spots on the floor (often a slab leak), wet or discolored patches on walls or ceilings, musty odors, and low water pressure. If you notice any of these, it’s worth having us come take a look before the damage spreads.
How long do pipes last in a Salt Lake City home?
It depends on the material. Copper lasts 50+ years in most conditions. PVC and PEX can last just as long. Galvanized steel, which was standard in homes built before the 1970s, typically lasts 40–70 years — and many Salt Lake homes are at or past that mark. Cast iron drain pipes have a similar lifespan. Age alone doesn’t mean they need immediate replacement, but older galvanized or cast iron systems are worth inspecting.
What is repiping and how do I know if I need it?
Repiping means replacing the water supply lines throughout your home, either partially or entirely. You may need it if you have recurring leaks, rusty or discolored water, consistently low pressure, or an older home with galvanized steel pipes. We’ll inspect what you have and give you a straight answer on whether repair or replacement makes more sense for your situation.
Can you repair a pipe without opening the wall?
Sometimes, depending on the location and type of leak. We’ll assess the situation and let you know what access is actually required. Where wall or ceiling access is necessary, we work cleanly and minimize disruption as much as possible.
Do you work on gas lines?
Yes. We handle new gas line installation, repairs, leak detection, appliance connections, and pressure testing. Gas work requires proper licensing and code compliance — our technicians are licensed and follow all local requirements.
