Plumbing problems rarely fix themselves. A dripping faucet or a damp wall is cheaper to repair early than after the water has done its damage. These are the usual signs.
| Job | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Faucet or toilet repair | Often 1 to 2 hoursParts availability can change this. |
| Leak detection and repair | Often 2 to 4 hoursHidden leaks take longer to trace. |
| Appliance hookup | Often 1 to 2 hoursDishwasher, washer or refrigerator line. |
| Partial re-pipe | One to two daysA full re-pipe takes longer. |
A new washer costs far less than a re-pipe, so repair prices run wide. What matters is what failed, how easy it is to reach and whether the cause is a single part or worn-out pipework. We explain the cost before we start.
| Factor | How it affects the price |
|---|---|
| What failed | A small part costs less than a fixture or a section of pipe. |
| Access | Pipes inside finished walls or under slabs take longer to reach. |
| Pipe material | Copper, PEX and older steel each need different parts and methods. |
| Scope | A single leak costs less than a partial or complete re-pipe. |
| Fixtures and parts | Your choice of faucet, toilet or valve changes the total. |
We trace the problem to its source, checking the fixture, the supply line and the pipe behind it.
We tell you what failed, what a repair involves and whether replacing the part or the pipe is the better choice.
We repair or replace the part, pipe or fixture, and protect the surrounding finishes as we work.
We run the water, check for leaks and clean the work area before we leave.

Michigan freeze-thaw winters are hard on pipes in outside walls, garages and crawlspaces. Frozen pipes often burst when they thaw, and the damage shows up as soon as the water returns. Insulating exposed pipes and knowing where your main shutoff is can save you a lot of trouble.
Older homes across Grand Rapids and the surrounding towns often have galvanized steel or early copper lines. They corrode from the inside, lower pressure and eventually leak. Re-piping part of the house is often the right fix.
Eyk Plumbing repairs leaks, pipes, faucets, toilets and showers in homes across Grand Rapids, Wyoming, Kentwood, Rockford, Hudsonville and the nearby towns. We also replace worn pipework and connect new appliances. Call us, describe what you see, and we will tell you what the visit involves before we book it.
Check your water meter. If it moves when every fixture is off, you have a leak. Look for damp spots, stained ceilings or musty smells. A plumber can trace the leak with the right tools instead of opening walls at random.
Repair is enough when a single fitting or short section has failed and the rest is sound. Consider re-piping when leaks keep appearing, water runs brown, pressure is low or the pipes are corroded. A plumber can inspect and tell you which.
Shut off the water at the main valve right away, open a faucet to drain the line and turn off the water heater if it is affected. Move belongings out of the way and call a plumber. Photograph any damage for your records.
Yes. We handle the plumbing side: water lines, shutoff valves and drain connections for dishwashers, washing machines and refrigerators with water dispensers. Electrical hookups are separate, so call an electrician for those. Tell us the appliance and its location when you call, and we will confirm what the hookup needs before we arrive.
Common causes are corroded pipes, a partly closed valve, a failing pressure regulator or a hidden leak. Mineral scale from hard water can also narrow pipes over time. We check pressure at several points to find where it drops. Tell us whether it is low at one fixture or all of them, because that narrows the cause quickly.
We run new supply pipe through the house and connect it to your fixtures, then remove or abandon the old lines. A partial re-pipe covers one area, such as a bathroom. A complete re-pipe replaces the supply lines for the whole house.
Insulate pipes in outside walls, garages and crawlspaces. Keep the heat on in cold weather and let a faucet drip during extreme cold. Know where your main shutoff is so you can act fast if a pipe does burst. Pipes along north-facing walls and in unheated spaces are the ones to watch first.
