Pipe Repair Services In Pasadena, CA
Burst pipes, pinhole leaks, slab leaks, and failed repairs put right. We locate the fault before opening anything, then repair only what has actually failed.
Water running right now? Shut the main first
Find your main shut-off valve and close it before you do anything else. Every minute it stays open adds to the damage, and a closed main costs you nothing but an hour without water.
The Damage Is Rarely
Where The Water Appears
Water travels. A stain on a ceiling can come from a pipe three rooms away, and a damp patch on a slab can be fed by a line running under the far wall. Opening the wall where the water shows up is how people end up with four holes and an unfixed leak.
ProFix Emergency Plumbing handles pipe repair in Pasadena and across the San Gabriel Valley, including Altadena, Arcadia, and San Marino. Copper, galvanised steel, CPVC, PEX, and cast iron waste lines.
Every job starts with locating the fault properly, using leak detection equipment rather than guesswork. For gas pipework, our gas line repair page covers that side of the work, because gas and water are different jobs under different rules.
Not sure where it is coming from?
Shut the main, then check your meter. If the dial still moves with every tap closed, the leak is inside the system. Send us what you are seeing.

We Fix Every Week
Every repair is pressure tested before we close anything back up, and we tell you what we found rather than just what we charged for.
Burst Pipe Repair
A split line flooding a wall, a ceiling, or a crawl space. Isolated, cut out, and replaced, with the cause identified so it does not happen again next winter.
Call Now +1 (747) 737-3868Pinhole Leak Repair
The slow weep that stains a ceiling for months. Common in older copper, and usually a sign the rest of that run is on the same clock.
Get a Quote +1 (747) 737-3868Slab Leak Repair
Lines running under a concrete slab, located acoustically and either rerouted above ground or opened at one point rather than several.

When a run has failed in three places already, patching the fourth is throwing money away. We replace the section or the run properly.
Get a Quote +1 (747) 737-3868Galvanised Pipe Replacement
Older Pasadena homes still running original galvanised steel, where the bore has narrowed with scale and the pressure has dropped with it.
Book a Survey +1 (747) 737-3868Hidden Leak Location
A meter that keeps turning with everything closed off. Located with acoustic and pressure equipment before any surface comes up.
Leak DetectionCast Iron Waste Lines
Drain stacks and branch lines that have scaled or rusted through from the inside. Repaired in sections or replaced where the run has gone.
Sewer RepairBlocked Or Collapsed Lines
Where a camera shows the pipe has dropped or cracked rather than simply blocked. The pipe gets repaired, not just cleared again.
Drain CleaningOut Of Hours Emergencies
Flooding at 3am, no water to the property, or a landlord call that cannot wait until morning. Lines answered 24 hours.
Emergency PlumbingSix Signs A Pipe
Has Already Failed
A pipe rarely bursts without warning. These are the signs that come first, usually weeks or months before the damage does.
-
Water bill up with no change in use
The single most reliable sign of a hidden leak anywhere on the property.
-
Damp patches or stained ceilings
The water shows up at the lowest point it can reach, not where the pipe failed.
-
Pressure dropped across the house
Usually scale narrowing old galvanised pipe, sometimes a leak upstream.
-
Discoloured or metallic water
Rust from inside the pipe wall. The pipe is corroding, not the water supply.
-
Banging or hissing in the walls
Hissing with taps closed means water is still moving. Something is open.
-
Warm spot on the floor
Classic slab leak on a hot water line. Worth acting on quickly.
Spot Repair vs
Repiping
Patching a single failure is the right answer far more often than contractors admit. It stops being the right answer at a point most people can recognise themselves.
Spot Repair Makes Sense
When one point has failed and the rest of the run is sound.
- First failure on that run
- Damage from an impact or a frozen section, not corrosion
- Pipework otherwise in good condition on inspection
- Accessible location, no slab or structure to open
- Copper or PEX with decades of service left in it
Repiping Makes Sense
When you are paying to patch the same run again and again.
- Third or fourth leak on the same line
- Original galvanised steel with scale through the bore
- Pinholes appearing in more than one place
- Pressure poor everywhere, not at one fixture
- Walls or ceilings already open for other work

Pipe Repair Services In Pasadena
ProFix Emergency Plumbing provides pipe repair in Pasadena for homes, rentals, and commercial premises across our full service area. A large part of the housing stock here was piped decades ago, which is why so much of our work is original copper developing pinholes and original galvanised steel losing its bore to scale. Both fail in predictable ways, and both are worth diagnosing properly before anyone decides how much pipe needs to come out.
Burst Pipe Repair And Emergency Response
A burst line is the one plumbing fault where the first ten minutes matter more than everything after. Shut the main, then call. Most of the cost of a burst pipe is not the plumbing, it is the drying out and the repairs to everything the water reached. Our emergency plumbing service runs 24 hours a day, every day, across Pasadena and the surrounding cities.
Slab Leak Repair Under Concrete Floors
Plenty of local properties have supply lines running under the slab, and when one of those fails the symptoms are easy to miss. A warm patch on the floor, a water bill climbing for no reason, or the sound of running water with every tap closed. Guesswork gets expensive here, so the line gets located acoustically first and then either opened at a single point or rerouted above ground, whichever costs you less in the end.
Repiping Older Pasadena Homes
Repiping is the right call when the pipework rather than one joint has reached the end. Three leaks on the same run inside a year, pressure poor at every fixture, or rust in the water are all signs that patching has stopped being economical. Where a property is being renovated and walls are already open, doing it then rather than later saves paying twice for the same access.
Waste And Drain Pipe Repair
Not every pipe fault is on the supply side. Cast iron waste stacks scale and rust from the inside until the bore has halved, and clay or older plastic drain lines crack, drop, or separate at the joints. Where the blockage keeps coming back, the pipe is the problem rather than what went down it. Drain cleaning and hydro jetting handle buildup, and sewer repair handles the lateral where a camera shows real damage.
Gas Pipe Repair Is A Separate Job
Searches for pipe repair often turn out to be about gas lines, and gas is a different discipline with different rules. If you can smell gas, leave the building and call SoCalGas on 1-800-427-2200 before calling anyone else. For planned gas pipework, see our gas line installation and repair page.

Questions Before
You Book
Shut the main off, then open the lowest cold tap in the property to drain what is still in the pipes. If water is anywhere near electrics, switch that circuit off at the panel. Move what you can out of the water, and if the ceiling below is bulging, stay out of that room. Then call us and tell us what you have already done.
Close every tap and appliance in the property, then look at the water meter. If the dial is still turning, water is going somewhere it should not. That test takes two minutes and tells you more than a month of guessing. From there, leak detection equipment narrows it down to a point rather than a room.
Sometimes, but the aim is one small opening in exactly the right place rather than several exploratory ones. Where a line runs under a slab, rerouting it above ground is often cheaper and less disruptive than opening concrete. We will show you both options and what each involves before anything is cut.
One failure on an otherwise sound run is a repair. Repeated pinholes, rust in the water, or poor pressure at every fixture point to the pipework itself rather than one joint, and at that stage repiping stops the cycle of paying for the same problem. Anyone quoting a full repipe off the back of a single leak without inspecting the rest is selling, not diagnosing.
Policies differ, and we are plumbers rather than insurers, so check with yours. The common pattern is that sudden damage from a burst pipe is covered while gradual deterioration of the pipework is not. What helps either way is documentation, so we photograph what we find and what we did and you get that with the invoice.
Regularly, across Pasadena and the wider San Gabriel Valley. Tenant-reported faults, HOA common lines, and pre-purchase surveys of older pipework. You get the scope and price in writing before work starts, and a written note of anything we find behind the wall that you will need to plan for.
