Typical Problems We Resolve in Pipe Repair & Leak Detection.
New York residential and commercial properties require specialized mechanical diagnostics. Here are the most common challenges our licensed master technicians handle every day.
Burst Frozen Water Pipes in Winter
Sub-freezing temperatures freeze water inside uninsulated perimeter walls, expanding and splitting copper tubes.
Electronic pipe thawing equipment, water shutoff, and seamless insertion of high-grade copper or PEX tubing.
Pinhole Leaks Inside Finished Walls or Ceilings
Internal galvanic corrosion and acidic water wear pinholes in copper piping, creating hidden water damage.
Acoustic and thermal leak detection to pinpoint the leak without demolishing entire drywalls.
Corroded Galvanized Water Lines with Rust
Aging pre-war galvanized steel lines accumulate mineral scale, choking water pressure and rusting through.
Targeted section replacement or whole-home repiping using durable Type L copper and Viega ProPress fittings.
Violent Water Hammer & Pipe Shaking
Quick-closing valves (washing machines, dishwashers) send shockwaves through unstrapped water lines.
Installation of commercial water hammer arrestors and pipe strap reinforcement.
Underground Main Water Service Line Leaks
Shifting New York soil, frost heave, or aging lead/copper entry lines leaking between street and meter.
NYC DOB emergency street permit acquisition, excavation, and replacement of main city water service.
Leaking Cast-Iron Drain & Waste Stacks
Decades of sewer gases corrode the tops of cast-iron pipes, allowing wastewater to seep down risers.
Cast iron riser replacement with sound-dampening hubless cast iron or heavy PVC with code shielded couplings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do immediately if a pipe bursts in my home?
Locate your main water shutoff valve (typically near the water meter where the line enters the basement or utility closet) and turn the handle clockwise until it stops. Then turn on the lowest sink faucet to drain remaining water, and call our 24/7 emergency dispatch immediately.
Do you have to tear down my entire ceiling to find a hidden leak?
No. We utilize non-destructive thermal imaging cameras and acoustic listening tools to pinpoint moisture patterns through walls and ceilings, minimizing drywall cuts to only what is strictly necessary.
Do you use solder (torches) or flame-free press tools?
We carry commercial Viega ProPress tools. ProPress creates a permanent, watertight mechanical seal without an open flame, which is significantly safer for historic wood-framed brownstones and high-density apartment buildings.
Are your plumbers licensed by New York City?
Yes. All plumbing operations at Agape are led by NYC DOB Licensed Master Plumbers, fully insured and bonded in all 5 boroughs.
