Pipe Masters uses advanced leak detection technology at your Chapel Hill property. We listen for leak sounds through acoustic sensors, detect temperature anomalies with thermal cameras, and verify locations with electronic equipment.
Once the leak is located, we confirm the finding and present repair options. Depending on the location and severity, options may include spot repair, section replacement, pipe rerouting, or epoxy lining.
Our Chapel Hill plumber executes the repair and confirms success with a pressure test of the repaired section. We verify no additional leaks exist in connected lines before restoring full water pressure.

Our reputation is built on results. Here is what our customers have to say.
"Drain cleaning on a stubborn kitchen line. The plumber pulled out a massive grease clog about fifteen feet in. He showed me what was causing it and gave tips on prevention. Honest and helpful."
"Had the drains cleaned in our older home. The plumber used a hydro jetter on the main line and a snake on the smaller branch lines. Water flows perfectly now. Should have done this years ago."
"Emergency call at 2 AM when a pipe burst in the basement during a freeze. They shut off the water, thawed the line, and replaced the split section. Saved us from serious water damage."
