Leak Repair in Nicholasville, Lexington & central Kentucky
Finding the actual source
Water travels. A stain on a first-floor ceiling can come from a shower valve, a toilet seal, a supply line or a drain fitting, and guessing wrong means patching drywall twice. We isolate the source first — pressure checks, dye tests, opening the smallest access possible — then fix the one thing that's leaking.
Pipe repairs in every material
Central Kentucky homes have a mix of copper, PEX, CPVC, PVC and, in older houses, galvanized steel. We repair all of it with matching materials and proper transitions, and we'll tell you honestly when a galvanized line is at the end of its life and a repipe will save you a string of repairs.
Faucets, toilets and fixtures
Running toilets and dripping faucets are the quiet leaks that show up on your water bill. We rebuild what's rebuildable — fill valves, flappers, cartridges, seats — and replace fixtures when parts aren't available or the fixture isn't worth saving. Bring your own fixture or let us supply a quality one.
Shut-off valves that actually shut off
If your main shut-off or fixture stops are stuck or won't seal, you don't have an emergency plan. We replace corroded stops and main valves with quarter-turn ball valves so the next problem is a quick turn, not a flooded floor.

Galvanized-to-PEX repipe
Same Wilmore house: once the new service was in, we removed the old galvanized supply piping inside the home and repiped it with PEX, which won't rust or scale up the way galvanized does.

Questions
Common questions
- Can you repair it or does it have to be replaced?
- We always start with the least expensive fix that will actually hold. If replacing makes more sense, we'll explain why and price both.
- How fast can you get to a leak?
- Call us. Active leaks go to the top of the day's schedule, and we'll walk you through shutting the water off while you wait.
- Is a running toilet really a big deal?
- A toilet that runs can waste hundreds of gallons a day — it's often the reason a water bill doubles. It's also one of the cheapest fixes we do.
