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.

Marquis Harley, our HVAC/furnace technician, quickly diagnosed and fixed a previous AC repair gone wrong and fully redeemed our experience with Staton! We also appreciate the customer first experience from Staton. Since this was a callback, there was no charge.

We had our 26 year old A/C system - 3 zones - completely removed and replaced with a new Bosch system. The team of technicians who did this big job consisted of Jonathan, Rey and Jake. They were OUTSTANDING! Way above five stars. Cheerful, polite, considerate of our home, and VERY hard working! Can’t say enough about the superb work they did.
Staton was also top notch - they evaluated the issue on Monday and had the whole BIG job done by Thursday noon. Very good communication as well. You should check with Staton before contracting with anyone else.

Stephen Stuart is awesome! He replaced my faulty main water valve and relocated it to a spot where it was easier to shut off & turn back on. On 6/1/3026 he installed a new water heater & I expressed my concerns about the main shutoff valve. That’s when he informed me on how he could fix it and the coordination that would be needed with my Condo Association to get the building water shutdown to do that work. I am very pleased that my new main water valve is now accessible and easily turning off and back on. A prior owner had painted it stuck.
