Pipe Repair for Matthews Homes
Matthews is about 55 minutes from Landis. Many homes here were built from the 1970s through the 1990s, when polybutylene and copper were both common. Polybutylene can crack without warning, and older copper can develop pinhole leaks. We repair the leak and tell you what the rest of the pipe looks like.
