Close its working shutoff; use the house main for a supply leak you cannot isolate there. Leave stuck valves alone and call for help.\n\nKeep clear of wet electrical equipment, sewage and sagging ceilings. Get urgent help for immediate danger.\n\n[CALL FOR HELP ↗](<tel:+13857668935>)\n\nTHE DETAILS HELP US FIND IT  01 / READ THE CLUES\n\n## Where is it wet? *When does it happen?*\n\nThe timing helps us follow the water. A supply leak may continue between uses, while a drain or enclosure leak usually appears when that fixture runs.\n\nWhere are you noticing the problem?When do you notice it?\n\nAnswer from what you have already noticed. Leave a leaking fixture off while waiting for repair.\n\nYOUR NEXT USEFUL STEP\n\n### Start with the wet spot.\n\nChoose the area and timing. We’ll explain the possibilities, what to avoid and where to look in the model.\n\nWater actively spreading?

FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE.  02 / FOLLOW IT HOME\n\n## One house. *A lot of places to leak.*\n\nPick an area and inspect its plumbing. See what can leak, when you might notice it, and how we distinguish the possible causes.\n\nTHE LEAK EXPLORER / 10 PLACES TO LOOK\n\nIN THIS EXAMPLE **Shower supply connection**\n\nOpening the house cutaway…\n\nDRAG TO ROTATE · PINCH TO ZOOM\nChoose a source in the list.\n\nCHOOSE AN AREA\n\nThe small orange dot marks the connection described above. Copper-colored supply lines are hot; blue supply lines are cold. The toilet connects only to cold water; drain pipes are pale and dry vents are sage green.\n\nUPSTAIRS / PRESSURIZED SUPPLY\n\n### The wet spot can be downstream of the leak.\n\nDamp drywall, a ceiling stain or the sound of water when the fixtures are off.\n\nA leaking supply connection can keep releasing water while the system is pressurized—even with the faucet off.\n\n#### HOW WE NARROW IT DOWN\n\nCompare the leak’s timing with water use, then trace moisture toward the source. Controlled isolation helps narrow the pipe or fixture involved before access is opened.\n\n#### WHAT THE REPAIR MAY INVOLVE\n\nRepair the confirmed pipe or connection, check support and nearby damage, then test before the opening is closed.\n\n[How leaks are located ↗](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#lr-methods>)\n\nAvoid the wet area. If water is actively spreading and the house shutoff is safely accessible, close it. Do not force a stuck valve.\n\nExplore the supply lines, individually vented fixtures and sloping building drain. The cutaway exposes connections normally hidden by walls and floors. Repair planning uses the measurements and access in your home.\n\n**Why those vents matter.** Each trap holds a water seal. The vent lets air move so draining water does not siphon that seal away. Select **Drains & vents** to see the trap arms, separate vent risers and downstream-facing connections. [ICC’s illustrated venting guide ↗](<https://www.iccsafe.org/wp-content/uploads/20-18927_GR_2021_Plumbing_Venting_Brochure.pdf>)\n\n### Read all 10 leak explanations without using the model\n\n### Inside a wall\n\nA leaking supply connection can keep releasing water while the system is pressurized—even with the faucet off.\n\nCompare the leak’s timing with water use, then trace moisture toward the source. Controlled isolation helps narrow the pipe or fixture involved before access is opened.\n\n[How leaks are located ↗](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#lr-methods>)\n\n### Toilet & floor\n\nThis example shows a seal/flange leak during flushing. A supply or tank leak can appear at other times; tank-to-bowl leakage may leave no puddle.\n\nInspect the supply and tank first. Where indicated, remove the toilet to examine the seal, flange and floor support. A tank dye test checks a different, internal leak.\n\n[Toilet repair ↗](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/toilet-repair/?agentnet=md>)\n\n### Tub & shower\n\nThis example starts only when a high bath reaches the overflow. A drain shoe, valve, shower arm or enclosure can produce similar evidence under different conditions.\n\nThe plumber checks the supply, drain, overflow and enclosure one at a time. Watching which check produces water below locates the escape path.\n\n[Bathroom fixture repairs ↗](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/bathroom-plumbing-fixture-repairs/?agentnet=md>)\n\n### Bathroom sink\n\nA trap or drain joint usually leaks as the sink empties. Supply hoses and shutoffs remain under pressure when the tap is closed.\n\nDry accessible surfaces, then isolate supply, faucet, drain and sink-seal sources. Water on the trap may have dripped from above.\n\n[Inside a faucet & sink ↗](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/faucet-sink-repair/?agentnet=md>)\n\n### Kitchen & disposal\n\nWatch whether it follows faucet use, draining, disposal operation or a dishwasher cycle. A pressurized connection can leak between uses.\n\nTrace the wet point from the faucet and basket through the disposal, trap and dishwasher hose. The source determines which connection needs repair.\n\n[Garbage disposal help ↗](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/garbage-disposal/?agentnet=md>)\n\n### Laundry & hoses\n\nThe example is an inlet-hose connection under pressure. Water during pump-out may instead involve the drain hose or an overflowing standpipe.\n\nMatch the leak to the cycle. Filling directs attention to the inlet hoses and valves, while discharge directs attention to the drain hose and standpipe.\n\n[Laundry plumbing ↗](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/appliance-connections/?agentnet=md>)\n\n### Water heater\n\nThe cold inlet on this electric tank is leaking. Water runs down the jacket from that fitting and collects at the base.\n\nTrace wet connections back toward the source.

Super helpful and informative. Communicated well and was punctual!         Posted on Google        Nathan      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler from Mountain Man Plumbing replaced my in-house main water shutoff valve and the pressure reducing valve (PRV) with a very practical new system that enables me to view the line pressure coming in and any drops in pressure easily. Very good looking workmanship.\n\nPrior to the work Tyler came out to my home and provided an estimate on the work, and stuck to the estimate. He's been easy to work with, cleaned up after himself, and also allowed me to change an appointment close to my originally planned estimate appointment over the phone. The website is also easy to use and efficient for scheduling an estimate. Thank you!         Posted on Google        Jeremy      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐\n\nI had a great experience with Mountain Man Plumbing. Tyler showed up right on time, was professional, and got everything taken care of faster than expected—finishing the entire job in less than a day. He replaced our water heater, took care of the valves, and installed a new expansion tank, all with great attention to detail.\n\nEverything is working perfectly now, and the whole process was smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend Tyler and the team if you’re looking for reliable, efficient plumbing work!         Posted on Google        Dana      Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Tyler was very professional, polite and honest. Instead of trying to sell me new parts or a whole new water heater he showed me that some of the heating elements just needed cleaned. I would recommend this company for anyone looking for honest help to get the right fix without getting ripped off.

Hard to find a plumber who preps for a service call like he did.  He asked questions before he came over to fix a shower valve so he could make sure he had the right parts for the fixture so he was as efficient as possible when he got here.   Communication was great prior to the service call and during.  Fixed everything I needed in a couple of hours for a very reasonable price.

For a buried water-service line in the yard, we refer the excavation and replacement work to Bumble Bee Plumbing. The water-service guide explains that route and the repair options.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-what-counts-as-leak-repair>)\n\n### Do you give pricing before starting leak repair work?\n\nYes. Once we locate the leak, we explain the repair and price, including the access needed to reach it. If opening the area reveals additional damage, we show you what changed and discuss the cost before doing more work.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-do-you-give-pricing-before-starting-leak-repair-work>)\n\n### Can I text photos of my leak before booking?\n\nYes. Send a wide view, a close-up of the wet area and any safely visible connection. Tell us when the water appears. Take photos from dry, stable ground and keep clear of wet electrical equipment.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-can-i-text-photos-of-my-leak-before-booking>)\n\n### How fast can you come out for an active leak?\n\nCall for current availability when water is actively spreading. Same-day help depends on the schedule and location. Online booking is useful for a contained problem; an active leak is better discussed by phone so we can understand the urgency and next step.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-how-fast-can-you-come-out-for-an-active-leak>)\n\n### What should I do RIGHT NOW if I have an active leak?\n\nStop using the affected fixture. If a working shutoff is safely accessible, close it without forcing it; for a supply leak you cannot isolate at the fixture, use the house main if safe. Keep clear of wet electrical equipment, contaminated water and a sagging ceiling. Call for help. Move dry belongings only when safe and document the damage without delaying water control. A house valve does not isolate an upstream service-line leak; call your water provider or plumber if you cannot stop the water safely.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-what-should-i-do-right-now-if-i-have-an-active-leak>)\n\n### How do you find a leak that's hidden in a wall or ceiling?\n\nWe follow the moisture pattern and ask when it appears. A constant leak points us toward pressurized pipes, while a leak during draining directs attention to the waste connections. Moisture readings and controlled checks narrow the area before we open it to reach the pipe.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-how-do-you-find-a-leak-thats-hidden-in-a-wall-or-ceiling>)\n\n### What is a slab leak and how is it found?\n\nThe term usually describes a leak in plumbing below a concrete slab. Supply leaks and drain leaks need different tests. Moisture, unexplained water use and floor temperature help guide the investigation. The affected system and location are confirmed before comparing access through the slab, a reroute or replacement of the affected piping.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-what-is-a-slab-leak-and-how-is-it-found>)\n\n### My water bill jumped — could that be a hidden leak?\n\nIt could, but first compare actual consumption and billing periods, rate changes, irrigation, guests and automatic appliances. A toilet leaking into the bowl may be silent. If your meter is safely readable, compare it during a period with all water use stopped, including automatic uses. Movement records water passing the meter. Further checks locate the source of the use. EPA recommends a two-hour no-use comparison.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-my-water-bill-jumped-could-that-be-a-hidden-leak>)\n\n### What's the most common cause of pinhole leaks in copper pipe?\n\nCopper corrosion can involve water chemistry, installation conditions, flow and other factors. We consider the failed section, the condition of accessible piping, pressure observations and leak history before recommending a focused repair or a larger replacement.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-whats-the-most-common-cause-of-pinhole-leaks-in-copper-pipe>)\n\n### Should I repair a leak or repipe?\n\nA damaged fitting or short pipe section can often be repaired while keeping sound piping in place. Widespread corrosion or recurring failures may make a new branch or reroute more worthwhile. We show you the condition and compare the access and cost of those options.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-should-i-repair-a-leak-or-repipe>)\n\n### Do you do whole-home repipes?\n\nYes. We can compare replacement of an affected branch with a whole-home repipe. The proposal names the pipes being replaced, their route, the access openings and who restores the walls and finishes.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-do-you-do-whole-home-repipes>)\n\n### Will my homeowners insurance cover the leak repair?\n\nAsk your insurer how your policy handles the cause of the leak, resulting water damage and the repair. Keep photos, dates and invoices. We can document what we found and the plumbing work performed.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-will-my-homeowners-insurance-cover-the-leak-repair>)\n\n### Can you patch a leak in PEX?\n\nA damaged PEX section or fitting can often be replaced using a connection system compatible with that tubing and installation. The pipe markings, fittings, support and cause of damage matter. We repair the affected section and test the completed connections.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-can-you-patch-a-leak-in-pex>)\n\n### Can you repair galvanized pipe?\n\nSometimes a limited repair is practical. Corrosion, restricted flow, the condition of adjacent threads and the risk of disturbing old piping affect the decision. We explain whether repairing a connection, replacing a section or planning more extensive work makes sense for the pipe we actually find.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-can-you-repair-galvanized-pipe>)\n\n### What about SharkBite fittings — do you use those?\n\nWe choose fittings to match the pipe material and location. Listed push-to-connect fittings can be suitable for permanent repairs, including approved concealed uses. The pipe preparation, insertion depth and support need to follow that fitting’s instructions.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-what-about-sharkbite-fittings-do-you-use-those>)\n\n### Will you need to cut my drywall to fix the leak?\n\nIf the failed pipe is inside a finished wall, we may need to open it. We explain the location and size of the opening first, allowing enough room to reach the damage, make the connection and support the repaired pipe.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-will-you-need-to-cut-my-drywall-to-fix-the-leak>)\n\n### Do you do the drywall repair too?\n\nNo — Mountain Man Plumbing focuses on the plumbing. Access cuts get left clean, square, and ready for a drywall person. If you don't have one, I can refer to a trusted local drywaller who handles patch-and-paint work.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-do-you-do-the-drywall-repair-too>)\n\n### Can you repair a leaking outdoor hose bib or sillcock?\n\nYes. Leaks can involve the stem, seat, vacuum breaker, body or indoor connection. A freeze-split frost-resistant body may leak into the wall only while the faucet runs. The exact model, barrel length and access determine whether it can be repaired or needs replacement.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-can-you-repair-a-leaking-outdoor-hose-bib-or-sillcock>)\n\n### My toilet keeps \"phantom flushing\" or running — is that a leak?\n\nWater escaping from the tank into the bowl can cause the fill valve to restart between flushes. A worn flapper or flush-valve seal is a common cause. Water rising into the overflow tube points to the fill level or fill valve. A dye test in the tank helps reveal water slipping past the flush seal.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-my-toilet-keeps-phantom-flushing-or-running-is-that-a-leak>)\n\n### What about a leak under the slab — do I have to dig up the floor?\n\nA supply line can sometimes be rerouted through an accessible wall or ceiling. Another option is a local opening through the slab to repair the damaged section. Pipe condition, the available route and the disruption to the room help decide which is practical.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-what-about-a-leak-under-the-slab-do-i-have-to-dig-up-the-floor>)\n\n### Do you offer second opinions on leak repair or repipe quotes?\n\nYes. Send the estimate and any photos or test results. We can explain the work included and compare a local repair, a new branch or a larger replacement where those options fit.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-do-you-offer-second-opinions-on-leak-repair-or-repipe-quotes>)\n\n### What should I do before the plumber arrives for leak work?\n\nStop using a fixture that is leaking and isolate water only if its shutoff is safely accessible and works normally. Keep people clear of wet electrical equipment or damaged ceilings. Note when the water appears and take photos from a safe location. Clear dry access where practical; do not move wet electrical equipment or enter an unsafe crawlspace.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-what-should-i-do-before-the-plumber-arrives-for-leak-work>)\n\n### Can you help if I do not know where my main water shutoff is?\n\nYes. We can help identify the house shutoff, check its operation and explain how to use it. Its location varies by home. Do not force a seized valve or operate utility-owned valves or meter equipment yourself; call for help if you cannot safely isolate an active leak.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-can-you-help-if-i-do-not-know-where-my-main-water-shutoff-is>)\n\n### Are you licensed and insured in Utah?\n\nMountain Man Plumbing is licensed and insured. Utah plumbing contractor license \\#12992295-5501 can be checked through the Division of Professional Licensing public lookup.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-are-you-licensed-and-insured-in-utah>)\n\n### What areas do you service for leak repair?\n\nMountain Man Plumbing serves Sandy, Draper, South Jordan, West Jordan, West Valley City, Murray, Cottonwood Heights, Millcreek, Taylorsville, Herriman, Riverton, Holladay, Midvale, and the broader Salt Lake County area. We also handle Park City (Summit County), Alta, and Lehi (Utah County).\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-what-areas-do-you-service-for-leak-repair>)\n\n### What makes Mountain Man Plumbing different from larger plumbing companies on leak work?\n\nWe show you where the water starts, explain how we can reach and repair it, and give you the price before the work. If opening the area reveals additional damage, we discuss the options with you before expanding the job.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/leak-repair/#answer-what-makes-mountain-man-plumbing-different-from-larger-plumbing-companies-on-leak-work>)\n\n Show all questions (20 more) ↓\n\n### References behind this guide\n\n- [ICC: individual fixture venting principles](<https://www.iccsafe.org/wp-content/uploads/20-18927_GR_2021_Plumbing_Venting_Brochure.pdf>)\n- [Charlotte Pipe: DWV fitting patterns](<https://www.charlottepipe.com/uploads/documents/technical/SUB-PAC-PVC-DWV.pdf>)\n- [EPA WaterSense: meter checks and common household leaks](<https://www.epa.gov/watersense/fix-leak-week>)\n- [Fluke: thermal imaging and moisture investigation](<https://www.fluke.com/en/learn/blog/thermal-imaging/why-thermal-imaging-is-essential-for-detecting-moisture-damage>)\n- [Copper Development Association: corrosion and installation factors](<https://www.copper.org/applications/plumbing/cth/design-installation/cth_3design_gencon.html>)\n- [Woodford: frost-resistant faucet troubleshooting](<https://www.woodfordmfg.com/woodford/Troubleshooting/14%20Troubleshooting.pdf>)\n- [SharkBite: listed applications and installation requirements](<https://www.sharkbite.com/ca/en/resources/faq/push-to-connect-fittings-faq>)\n- [Utah Insurance Department: home claims information](<https://insurance.utah.gov/consumers/home-insurance/home-claims-info/>)\n- [Red Cross: water and electrical hazards](<https://www.redcross.org/get-help/how-to-prepare-for-emergencies/types-of-emergencies/flood.html>)\n- [Utah DOPL: verify a license](<https://secure.utah.gov/llv/search/index.html>)\n\nLOCAL PEOPLE / OUR SANDY OFFICE\n\n## Right here. *Close to home.*\n\nMountain Man Plumbing\n\n688 East Union Square, Suite 204\nSandy, UT 84070\n\nServing homes across the Salt Lake Valley.\n\n[Open our Google profile ↗](<https://g.page/r/CaOTt7DCa0I_EBM>)\n\n[Mountain Man Plumbing office in Sandy, Utah](<https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3030.3167966444817!2d-111.8726262!3d40.5787622!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x432a303481edfacf%3A0x3f426bc2b0b793a3!2sMountain%20Man%20Plumbing!5e0!3m2!1sen!2sus!4v1788898396959!5m2!1sen!2sus>)\n\nLET’S GET YOUR HOME BACK.\n\n## Find the water. *Take the worry off.*\n\nTell us what you see.
