Our Capabilities
What Separates Precision Pipe Repair from Guesswork
Our techs work on every pipe material found in Pinehurst, ID homes, from pre-1970s galvanized to modern PEX-A crosslinked systems. The repair method matches the pipe.
🔊
Acoustic Leak Detection
Pressurized water escaping a pipe creates a characteristic acoustic signature. Our listening devices amplify ground and structure-borne sound to pinpoint a leak location within inches — through concrete slabs, behind drywall, or under flooring. This means we open only the section of wall, floor, or slab directly over the failure.
🌡️
Thermal Camera Scanning
We use thermal imaging as a complement to acoustic detection — particularly useful for slab leaks and leaks inside insulated wall cavities where sound transmission is reduced.
🛠️
All Pipe Materials & Joining Methods
Press-fit copper connections — particularly useful for repairs in occupied spaces where open flame is a concern — are available as an alternative to torch sweating where code permits.
🔒
Pressure-Tested Before We Leave
Every supply line repair is pressure-tested before we close the wall or floor. We pressurize the repaired section, hold the test pressure for the required duration, and confirm zero drop before considering the repair complete. You don't find out there's a second leak next week — we find it before we pack up.
Our Pipe Repair Services
Pipe Repair Solutions for Pinehurst Homes
From a pinhole copper leak behind a kitchen cabinet to a full galvanized repiping, our pipe crew in Pinehurst, ID handles the full range.
Copper
Copper Pipe Repair & Repipe
Pitting corrosion in copper is sometimes systemic rather than localized — a single pinhole is often the first of several to appear. When the camera or pressure test finds multiple deteriorated sections, we give you an honest assessment of whether targeted repair or full copper repipe is the better long-term answer.
Galvanized
Galvanized Pipe Replacement
We replace galvanized supply lines with copper or PEX — either as targeted section replacement at active failure points or as a full-house repipe project. We connect the new material to existing fittings using dielectric unions where code requires to prevent galvanic corrosion at copper-to-galvanized transitions.
PEX
PEX Pipe Repair & Extension
PEX is also the material of choice for extending or reconfiguring supply runs during remodel work. Its flexibility reduces fitting count and eliminates the need for torch work inside walls.
Burst Pipes
Burst & Freeze-Damaged Pipe Repair
A burst pipe from freezing or sudden pressure surge requires immediate water shutoff and precise repair. We locate the failure, determine whether it's a single failure point or multiple freeze-damaged sections, and repair with a method appropriate to the pipe material — press-fit coupling for copper, expansion coupling for PEX-A, or a mechanical repair coupling for emergency situations.
Slab Leaks
Under-Slab Pipe Leak Repair
Slab leak rerouting is often more cost-effective than direct access, particularly for longer runs or under tiled floors. We present the options honestly with pricing so you can choose based on your priorities.
Full Repipe
Whole-House Repipe Service
A full repipe in Pinehurst typically completes in 2–3 days for a standard single-family home. You're without water for a portion of each day; we plan the schedule to minimize disruption to occupied rooms.
Here's how a Masters Plumbing Service pipe repair call plays out in Pinehurst, ID.

For emergency burst pipe calls, we dispatch immediately. For suspected slow leaks, we schedule at the earliest available slot and confirm before arrival.
2
Pressure Test & Acoustic / Thermal Detection
This detection step routinely saves homeowners $500–$2,000 in unnecessary drywall removal compared to opening walls speculatively.
3
Flat-Rate Quote & Minimal Access Opening
For slab leaks, we present repair, reroute, and lining options with pricing so you can make an informed choice before any concrete is cut.
4
Repair & Pressure Test — Then You're Done
Repair executes immediately on approval. After the repair, we repressurize and hold a pressure test to confirm the failure is fully resolved — not partially. The access opening is left clean for your drywall patch or left ready for your contractor.
Customer Reviews
What Pinehurst Customers Say About Our Pipe Work
★★★★★
Water stain appeared on my kitchen ceiling from the bathroom above. I expected them to tear up the entire bathroom floor. Instead the tech ran a pressure test, found a 12% pressure drop over 10 minutes, then used the acoustic device and identified the leak at a failed sweat joint in the copper supply to the toilet — accessible through a 14-inch drywall cut in the ceiling below. Repair was maybe $280 including the detection. I'd been dreading a $2,000 floor demo.

★★★★★
Had an under-slab leak diagnosed by Masters Plumbing Service with acoustic equipment. They found the leak at 6 feet from the wall — a single copper elbow that had developed a pinhole. Presented three options: direct slab access, reroute through the wall framing above, or copper lining. I chose the reroute — they ran a new PEX line through the crawl space and connected at both ends without touching the slab. Pressure tested, verified no remaining drop. No jackhammering at all.
— O. & R. Adeyemi, Pinehurst, ID
★★★★★
Pipe burst in a rental property at 2 AM — Masters Plumbing Service's emergency line answered immediately, talked my tenant through the main shutoff, and had a tech there in 45 minutes. Freeze crack in a PEX line in an exterior wall. Repair and insulation wrap done in under two hours. Detailed receipt for insurance documentation. Exactly what I needed as a landlord dealing with a crisis remotely.

Common Questions
Pipe Repair Questions We Answer Every Day
Watch your water meter with all fixtures off. If the meter dial is moving or the leak indicator light is turning, water is escaping somewhere in your supply system. Other signs: unexplained increases in your monthly water bill, soft or discolored spots on walls or ceilings, mold or mildew smell in a room without a visible source, or a running sound inside walls when all fixtures are off.
In most cases, the pipe itself needs to be physically accessed to make a durable repair — but the amount of wall we open depends entirely on how precisely we can locate the failure first. With acoustic detection and thermal imaging, we typically open a single, small access point rather than a wide section of wall.
Repair options include direct slab access (jackhammer to the pipe, repair, patch), rerouting the supply line above slab through framing, and for copper systems with multiple pinhole failures, epoxy pipe lining from inside the pipe without excavation. We use acoustic and thermal detection to locate the leak before recommending a repair approach.
Galvanized pipe corrodes from the interior outward — by the time one section fails, the rest of the pipe is in varying stages of the same process. A localized repair buys time, but another section typically fails within 1–3 years if the system is at end of life. The honest answer is: it depends on how far along the corrosion is and how many sections are already narrowed or showing surface rust.
We don't rush pressure testing at the end. That's the step that confirms the repair is actually complete, and it takes the time it takes.
For slab access openings, we clean up concrete debris, complete the pipe repair, and patch the concrete. Tile or flooring restoration over a slab patch is normally a separate trade.
