Copper Pinhole Leak Replacement in St. Louis, MO

Pinhole leaks in copper usually start as a small green stain or a damp spot on drywall. They are caused by a mix of water chemistry, high velocity and thin Type M pipe, and once they begin they tend to keep appearing. Patching each leak costs $300 to $800 per visit plus drywall repair. We can replace the affected branch or repipe the home with PEX, which does not develop pinholes. We help you weigh the cost of both paths.

Slab Leak Pipe Repair and Replacement in St. Louis

Slab leaks, where pipes under your concrete foundation leak, are a significant concern for homeowners in St. Louis. These leaks can cause foundation damage, mold growth, and wasted water.

Depending on the severity and accessibility, we offer targeted pipe repair or rerouting and replacement solutions to fully resolve the issue, protecting your home's structural integrity.

Burst Pipe Repair & Replacement in St. Louis, MO

Disconnecting hoses, insulating exposed lines and letting faucets drip on bitter nights head off most freeze damage.

Our team provides emergency service to shut off water, remove damaged sections, and replace them with new, more freeze-resistant piping, often PEX, to prevent future occurrences.

PEX Repiping in St. Louis

PEX-A is flexible, resists scale buildup and expands slightly if water freezes, which helps in colder homes. We use expansion fittings that keep the full inside diameter of the pipe for stronger flow. Systems can be run as a home-run manifold with a shutoff for each fixture or as a trunk and branch layout. PEX installs faster than copper with far fewer fittings in the walls. It is our most requested repipe material.

PEX Pipe Replacement in St. Louis

PEX (cross-linked polyethylene) piping has become a common choice for residential pipe replacement due to its flexibility, affordability, and resistance to freezing. Disconnecting hoses, insulating exposed lines and letting faucets drip on bitter nights head off most freeze damage. Unlike rigid pipes, PEX can expand, reducing the risk of burst pipes during unexpected cold snaps. FGV Plumbing specializes in PEX installation, which often allows for less invasive replacement methods compared to traditional materials. This modern solution offers strong performance and water quality for your home.

Whole-Home Repiping in St. Louis

If your home in St. Louis is older and experiencing frequent leaks, low water pressure throughout, or discolored water from multiple fixtures, a whole-home repiping might be the most sensible long-term solution. We can replace all the old galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes with modern, durable PEX or copper piping. This upgrades your entire water delivery system, greatly improving water quality and pressure while eliminating future leak concerns from aging infrastructure.

Drain Pipe Replacement in St. Louis, MO

Cast iron drain pipe in older homes can rust through at the bottom, while some ABS from the 1980s was made with defective resin that cracks. Signs include sewer odors, slow drains and stains on ceilings below upstairs bathrooms. We camera the line first, then replace reachable sections with PVC or ABS. Under-slab drains can be tunneled, rerouted or lined depending on location. We explain the options with the camera footage in hand.
