The service timeline
What to expect from our leak repair process
The process flexes to the condition, but these checkpoints keep decisions clear.
Call and schedule
You call (662) 550-8327 and describe what you are seeing: wet spot, high bill, sound of running water. We ask a few questions to narrow it down, then book a same-day or emergency slot. Most Tupelo calls get a tech on site within 90 minutes.
Locate the leak
Our tech arrives with leak detection equipment: acoustic listening discs, thermal camera, and pressure gauges. We isolate sections of your system, test the water meter, and pinpoint the leak. This takes 30 to 60 minutes depending on how buried the line is.
Quote the repair
We show you what we found, explain the fix, and give you a flat price before any cutting starts. You approve it, we get to work. No surprise line items, no hourly meter running while we talk.
Make the repair
We cut out the failed section with a pipe cutter, install new pipe and fittings, and solder or press the joint. Slab leaks may need tunneling or rerouting. Most repairs take 2 to 4 hours; slab work can run a full day.
Test and clean up
We pressure-test the line, run water through every fixture, and check for drips. Then we clean the work area and walk you through what we did. You get a written summary and a workmanship warranty on the repair.
Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use for leak repair
Purpose-built equipment, used by trained technicians, so the job is done accurately the first time.
Leak detection equipment
Acoustic listening discs and thermal cameras let us hear and see water moving behind walls and under slabs. This is how we find the leak without cutting into your home first.
RIDGID sewer camera
We push this camera through drain and sewer lines to spot cracks, root intrusion, and offset joints. It shows us exactly where the pipe failed so the repair is targeted.
Milwaukee press fitting tool
For copper and PEX repairs, press fittings make a permanent, code-approved joint in seconds. No open flame, which matters in tight spaces near framing.
Pipe cutter and soldering torch
We cut out the failed section cleanly and solder new copper where the system calls for it. Every joint is pressure-tested before we close up the wall.
Hydro jetting machine
When a leak is caused by a blocked or root-filled line, hydro jetting clears the pipe at up to 4,000 PSI. We jet first, then repair the damaged section.
Use cases
When to call for leak repair in Tupelo
These examples show how the service framework adapts rather than forcing every call through one repair.
Burst pipe repaired after January freeze
A pipe in the exterior wall of a Bel Air home split during a hard freeze. Water sprayed into the wall cavity and soaked the insulation. The homeowner shut off the main and called us at 6 a.m. The drywall was already soft. → We arrived by 7:30 a.m., cut out the split copper section, and soldered in new pipe. We insulated the repaired line and checked every other exterior run for freeze damage. Total repair was $420, and the wall was ready for drywall patching the same day.
Sewer line root intrusion cleared in Chesterville
A Chesterville homeowner had slow drains and a sewage smell in the yard. The sewer line ran within 10 feet of a mature oak. We ran a camera and found roots cracking the pipe at two joints, with wastewater leaking into the soil. → We hydro jetted the line to clear the roots, then cut out the damaged section and replaced it with new PVC pipe. The repair took two days and cost $2,400. Drains flowed freely, and the yard smell was gone within a week.
Slab leak options
3 Ways to Repair a Slab Leak
There are 3 ways to repair a slab leak, and the pipe condition decides which one makes sense. A single break in sound pipe gets a direct repair. Repeat leaks or aging copper call for a reroute or repipe.
Direct Spot Repair
We open the slab at the leak, replace the damaged section, pressure-test, and patch the concrete. Spot repair fits a single break on a line in good shape.
Line Reroute
We abandon the leaking line under the slab and run new PEX piping through the attic or walls. Rerouting avoids a jackhammer and stops future leaks on that run.
Whole-House Repipe
Homes with a second or third slab leak get new supply lines throughout. A repipe ends the cycle of finding and fixing one pinhole at a time.
By leak type
How We Repair Common Leaks
Leak repair in Tupelo covers 5 common leak types. Each one uses a different fitting or material to match the existing pipe.
Pinhole Leaks in Copper
Hard water and high velocity wear pinholes in older copper. We cut out the section and rejoin it with press fittings or solder.
Failed PEX Fittings
Crimp rings and plastic fittings fail at installation errors. We replace the fitting with a new crimp or expansion connection.
Supply Line Leaks
Braided supply lines to toilets, sinks, and ice makers burst with age. We replace them with new stainless lines and quarter-turn shut-off valves.
Drain Line Leaks
Cracked PVC, rusted cast iron, and loose slip joints under sinks drip into cabinets. We replace the section and test with a full fixture load.
Valve and Fitting Leaks
Shut-off valves, hose bibs, and pressure-reducing valves weep at the stem. We rebuild or replace the valve and test under pressure.
Problems we solve
Leak problems we solve for Tupelo homeowners
These are the leaks we see most often in Tupelo, and what happens if they are left alone. Every one of them gets worse with time, not better.
Slab leak under the foundation
We locate the leak with acoustic gear, then either tunnel under the slab or reroute the line overhead. Most slab leak repair Tupelo MS jobs finish in one to two days with full pressure testing.
Burst pipe after a freeze
We shut off the water, cut out the split section, and install new pipe. We thaw any remaining frozen lines and insulate them so the same pipe does not fail next winter.
Running toilet leaking at the base
We replace the wax ring, flapper, and fill valve, then check the flange and supply lines. Most toilet leak repairs take under an hour and stop the water loss immediately.
Root intrusion in the sewer line
We run a sewer camera to find the break, cut out the roots, and repair or replace the damaged section. New PVC pipe stops the leak and keeps roots out for good.
Pricing process
Leak repair pricing in Tupelo
$180 - $2,500 depending on leak location and access
Leak location and access
A leak under a sink is easy to reach. A leak under a slab or behind tile requires more labor and equipment. Access is the single biggest driver of cost.
Pipe material
Copper piping costs more to repair than PEX piping because of material price and soldering labor. We match your existing material so the repair lasts.
Extent of damage
A pinhole leak needs a small cut-out. A burst pipe that soaked insulation and drywall needs more repair. We fix the pipe first, then advise on the water damage.
Customer reviews
What Tupelo customers say about our leak repair
★★★★★
“We had a slab leak in our 1950s house and two other plumbers just wanted to jackhammer the floor. TupelomsPlumbing.com found it with a listening tool, rerouted the line through the attic, and we had water back the same day. Bill was $1,400 less than the other quote. No more wet spot in the hallway.”
★★★★★
“A pipe burst in our wall during that January freeze. I called at 6 a.m. and a tech was here by 7:30. He cut out the split section, soldered in new copper, and pressure-tested it. We were back to normal before lunch. Fair price and he cleaned up everything.”
★★★★★
“We manage six rental units and had a running toilet that was leaking into the unit below. Their team replaced the wax ring and flapper, checked the supply lines, and sent photos for our records. Tenants were happy, no more complaints. We use them for all our Lee County properties now.”
How much does leak repair cost in Tupelo MS?

Can you repair a slab leak in Tupelo Mississippi?
Yes. We handle slab leak repair Tupelo MS homeowners need, including locating the leak with acoustic and thermal gear, then either tunneling under the slab or rerouting the line overhead.

If your policy covers access and repair, we work directly with the claim. Ask your carrier about sudden vs. gradual damage.
Is it better to reroute or repair a slab leak?
Rerouting is better when the pipe under the slab is aging copper or has leaked before, and a direct repair is better for a single break in otherwise sound pipe. A reroute avoids breaking the floor and keeps the next leak out from under the foundation.
What causes pinhole leaks in copper pipes?
Pinhole leaks in copper are caused by pitting corrosion from water chemistry, high water velocity, and age. Tupelo's moderately hard water and homes with copper over 30 years old see the most pinholes. One pinhole often means more are coming on the same run.
How long does leak repair take?
Leak repair takes 2 to 4 hours for most in-wall and under-sink leaks. A slab leak reroute takes 1 to 2 days, and a buried water service line repair takes most of a day depending on depth.
