Colorado Springs Pipe Repair & Water Supply
Pipe Repair & Water Supply Services in Colorado Springs
Leak detection, pipe repair, repiping, water pressure problems, and shut-off valves — we diagnose and repair the water supply plumbing throughout your home.
Your home's water supply system includes the pipes, valves, fittings, and connections that deliver water to fixtures and appliances throughout the house. When something goes wrong, the symptoms can range from a small visible leak to low water pressure, unexplained water use, or significant water damage.
Father and Sons Plumbing & Drain diagnoses and repairs residential water supply problems throughout Colorado Springs. Whether you're dealing with a leaking pipe, failing shut-off valve, pressure problem, or aging piping that may need to be replaced, we'll evaluate the problem and explain your options. When the source of a leak isn't obvious, we can investigate the plumbing system to help determine where the water may be coming from. Once we've identified the problem and recommended a repair, you'll receive a flat-rate price before approved work begins.
Pipe Leak Detection & Repair
Not every plumbing leak is easy to see. Water can escape from piping inside walls, ceilings, crawl spaces, and other concealed areas before the source becomes obvious.
If you've noticed an unexplained increase in your water bill, water stains, damp areas, the sound of running water when fixtures aren't being used, or other signs of a possible leak, we'll investigate the plumbing system to help determine where the water is coming from. Once we've identified the likely source and extent of the problem, we'll explain what we found, discuss the repair options, and give you a flat-rate price before approved work begins.
Whole-Home Repiping
Aging or deteriorating water supply piping can lead to recurring leaks, reduced water pressure, discolored water, and repeated repairs. Older piping materials such as galvanized steel and polybutylene may eventually reach a point where replacing sections one at a time no longer makes sense.
When we evaluate a home for repiping, we'll consider the piping material, age and condition of the system, history of leaks, water pressure, and extent of the problems before recommending your options. If repiping is appropriate, we'll explain the materials, scope of work, expected timeline, and price before the project begins. Our goal is to replace the problem piping while minimizing unnecessary disruption to your home.
Water Pressure Diagnosis & Repair
Low or high water pressure can have several possible causes. Depending on the symptoms, the problem may involve a pressure-reducing valve (PRV), shut-off valve, leak, restriction in the piping, fixture, or another part of the water supply system.
We can test the home's water pressure and investigate the plumbing to help determine what's causing the problem rather than replacing parts based on guesswork. Excessive water pressure can put additional stress on plumbing fixtures, supply lines, valves, and appliances. A pressure-reducing valve (PRV) is a device installed on the main water supply line that limits the pressure entering the home — most Colorado Springs homes have one. When a PRV is needed or an existing one has failed, we can discuss replacement or installation options based on the home's plumbing system.
Shut-Off Valve Repair & Replacement
A shut-off valve that leaks, won't turn, or no longer stops the flow of water can become a much bigger problem when you actually need it.
We repair and replace accessible plumbing shut-off valves throughout the home, including main water shut-offs, fixture shut-off valves, and angle stops beneath sinks and toilets. If you're not sure whether your main shut-off works, it's better to find out before a plumbing emergency. We'll evaluate the valve and let you know if repair or replacement is appropriate.
Hose Bib & Outdoor Spigot Repair
Colorado's freezing winter temperatures can be hard on outdoor faucets and the piping connected to them. A leaking, damaged, or improperly winterized hose bib can waste water and may allow the connected piping to freeze and burst during cold weather.
We repair and replace outdoor hose bibs and can replace older fixtures with frost-resistant models when appropriate for the installation. If a hose bib or connected pipe has already frozen or burst, we'll evaluate the damaged plumbing, repair the affected piping, and explain steps that may help reduce the risk of another freeze.
Pipe Insulation & Freeze Protection
Colorado Springs winters can bring extended periods of below-freezing temperatures, making plumbing in garages, crawl spaces, exterior walls, and other cold areas more vulnerable to freezing.
We can evaluate accessible water piping for potential freeze concerns and discuss insulation or other protective measures where appropriate. If a pipe has already frozen or burst, we can repair the damaged plumbing and help you understand what may have contributed to the problem so you can reduce the risk of it happening again.

Have an Active Pipe Leak?
If you can safely access your home's main water shut-off, turn off the water to help limit additional damage. Then call us so we can evaluate the leak and determine what needs to be repaired.

- How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
- The most reliable method is to check your water meter. Turn off all water in the house — faucets, appliances, everything — and watch the meter for 15 minutes. If it moves, you have a leak somewhere. Other signs include unexplained increases in your water bill, water stains on walls or ceilings, musty odors, or the sound of running water when everything is off.
- What is a pressure regulator and do I need one?
- A pressure regulator (also called a pressure reducing valve or PRV) controls the water pressure entering your home from the municipal supply. Most Colorado Springs homes have one. Water pressure above 80 PSI can damage fixtures, appliances, and pipe joints over time. If your pressure regulator has failed or your home doesn't have one, we can install or replace it.
- How long does whole-home repiping take?
- A typical whole-home repipe takes 2–4 days depending on the size of the home and the complexity of the pipe routing. We'll give you a realistic timeline before the project begins. Most homeowners can remain in the home during the project, though water will be shut off during working hours.
- What type of pipe do you use for repiping?
- We use code-compliant materials appropriate for the application — typically PEX or copper for water supply lines. We'll explain the options and the trade-offs before the project begins so you can make an informed decision.
- My outdoor hose bib is leaking — is that a big deal?
- It depends on where it's leaking. A leak at the spout itself is usually a worn washer or packing — a straightforward repair. A leak at the wall where the pipe enters the house can indicate a more significant problem, including a cracked pipe behind the wall. Either way, it's worth addressing before winter — a non-frost-free hose bib that freezes can burst the pipe behind it.
- Do you charge a service call fee?
- No. There is no service call fee to come out and evaluate your pipe or water supply problem. You'll receive a flat-rate price after the diagnosis, and you decide whether to proceed. If you choose not to move forward, you owe nothing for the visit.
