WATER PIPE LEAKS
Polybutylene pipe will break and leak because it is defective. It is only a matter of time. The best solution for this type of pipe break is to replace it all. Once it begins to fail, it will then continue to fail. Continuing to patch the problems will eventually result in a very expensive flood which could cause extensive damage to your home and belongings.
Galvanized pipe was installed in homes many years ago until the 1970’s. It is not defective, per se, but over time rusts from the inside out eventually either becoming clogged or causing it to break and leak. As it deteriorates, it also reduces the flow of the water through the pipe with a seeming loss of pressure at your fixtures. As with polybutylene, the best solution for broken galvanized piping is to replace it.
Mueller Copper Pipe
Copper pipe breaks and leaks most often for homes or businesses that have well water or on the hot water side of plumbing systems. For well systems, the water must be treated correctly or the substances in your water will continue to cause deterioration in the pipes. The reason hot water pipes tend to break sooner than cold water pipes is due to the increased pressure in the pipes as the water heats and expands. Plumbing code requires that thermal expansion tanks be added to plumbing systems (typically when a water heater is installed). The thermal expansion tank is designed to absorb the increased pressure as the water heats and preserves your pipes. So as a leak in a hot water pipe is repaired it may be prudent to install a thermal expansion tank at the same time if you don’t already have one.
CPVC, PVC, HDPE and PEX pipes are made of different types of plastic and tend to leak less frequently than other types when they’re installed correctly. The reasons these pipes leak will be similar to copper pipes.
DRAIN PIPE LEAKS
If your leak is in a drain pipe it is handled similarly. The sign your leak is on a drain is that it is not continuous – it only leaks when you run water. Since drain pipes are carrying wastewater, remediation of these leaks is a priority. These pipes are typically made of cast iron, copper, ABS (plastic) or PVC (plastic). Cast iron and copper pipes tend to rot over time and are most often replaced with PVC pipe. ABS and PVC pipes are simply repaired.
Over time, all pipe will eventually break and leak. It may be the constant friction of the water passing through, chemical reactions that occur in the water or in the air outside the pipe, slight imperfections in the pipe or movement of the pipe. While none of these reasons brings much comfort once your pipe leaks. Staton is here to help.

I want to say what an excellent experience working with Matt Kramer. He did a fantastic job from start to finish and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. His service was incredibly efficient, and everything was completed in a timely manner without cutting any corners.
What really stood out was how thorough he was in explaining every step of the work he was going to do with my hot water heater. He took the time to make sure I understood what was happening, why it was necessary, and what to expect, which I really appreciated.
It’s clear that Matt takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about providing top-quality service. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for reliable, professional, and knowledgeable help. Five stars all the way!

Stiven Llano is a very talented and professional technician. He was on time, courteous, and explained what he was checking along the way for our first HVAC check-up with Staton (the geek in me liked that).
The whole team also helped schedule some quick follow-up service the next day (we were only in town for 2 days)! Thank you!
We will definitely be working with the Staton Team in the future!

Joe did a great job, I was in a bind and he offered to come out next day. Extremely respectful and courteous, I wouldn't have known they were in the home if I hadn't hired them. I'll only use this company going forward.
