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.

PLEASE NOTE: THIS REVIEW IS FOR THE OUTSTANDING EFFORTS OF TWO OF YOUR TECHNICIANS: JOSH BEADENKOPF AND STIVEN LLANDO!!
In the past month I have had to deal with plumbing/HVAC issues that resulted in water leaks in my basement and my attic. The problem in my basement included the installation of a new sump pump. The technician in this case was Josh Beadenkopf. Josh provided excellent customer service. His demeanor was very professional and he carefully explained every option to solve my problem. He was very patient and answered all of my questions. He did a great job and definitely alleviated some of the stress I was feeling about my situation. I was so impressed that when I experienced my second issue with water in my attic, I specifically requested him to assist which Staton accommodated. He came out but determined that I needed a HVAC specialist. He made arrangements for someone to come out that afternoon and even called me to follow up and make sure I got the help I needed.
Kudos to Josh!!
The HVAC technician that came out for the issue in my attic was Stiven Llando. I hit the jackpot again with a a professional, knowledgable and personable technician! He was very thorough, determined and as a result was able to successfully unclog the drain lines that had caused the water leaks. He very patiently explained the entire process and included pictures. Stiven made several recommendations including installation of a safety mechanism that would help avoid future water damage which I accepted as well as other options there were available to me to consider. He did outstanding work! Kudos to Stiven!

Updating my previous positive review with additional positive feedback. We had an issue come up with a sewer line replacement and WL Staton responded promptly and resolved the issue and put our property back to as close to how they found it as possible. They earned our repeat business anytime we are need of plumbing services. Everyone we interacted with was wonderful from Vince, BJ, Joe, Wayne and Daniel. Highly recommended.
Update: we had a terrible experience with Barstow and Sons and moved our HVAC service to Staton. We could not be more pleased with the communication, level of professionalism, and results. Father and son HVAC team of Chip and Craig were awesome to have in our home.
