Fixing a Hidden Leak Near Ellis & Bushard
Earlier this year, a homeowner near Ellis Avenue and Bushard Street called about water stains showing up in their hallway wall. They weren’t sure what it was at first—they thought it was the roof. Turns out, it was a slow leak from a copper pipe joint in the wall between the bathroom and laundry room.
We used our thermal imaging scope to pinpoint the problem without opening up more drywall than necessary. Once we located the section, we cut and replaced just that elbow and added a new access panel for any future service.
The whole job took about three hours. No mold, no mess, and way cheaper than a full wall tear-out. We see stuff like this all over Fountain Valley—old fittings, past DIY work, or pressure changes from shut-off valve swaps. That’s why having a real pro makes all the difference.
Why Pipe Repairs in Fountain Valley Can’t Wait
Most leaks don’t start with a flood—they start with a drip. You may not notice it until your drywall bubbles or your water bill jumps. That’s how most pipe issues creep in.
Copper pipes corrode over time, especially if you’ve got hard water. PEX can burst if it wasn’t installed right or if someone left too much tension at the fittings. And PVC? It cracks under pressure swings or gets brittle with age.
We fix these issues with real parts and proven methods. We carry top-grade couplings, sharkbite connectors, pro tubing cutters, and torch setups that make quick, code-compliant repairs.
If you wait, that drip might turn into water under your floors—or behind your cabinets. Better to fix it before it spreads.
Getting Ready for Your Pipe Repair Visit
We don’t need you to do much—we’re happy to move things. But if you want to speed things up, here’s what helps:
Clearing out under the sink if the leak’s nearby. Letting us know if you have pets that need to be kept safe. And if you already shut off the water, let us know how (some homes have multiple shut-offs).
Also, if you have an idea of when it started or noticed the problem, that helps us zero in fast. Even small clues matter when you’re tracking a pipe behind drywall.

DIY Mistakes We See in Fountain Valley
A lot of people mean well, but pipes aren’t something to play around with. We’ve had homeowners try to patch pinhole leaks with rubber and hose clamps—only to flood the cabinet overnight.
Some folks use push-to-connect fittings on old copper without deburring the edges. That leads to leaks under pressure. Others try to solder without cleaning the pipe or using flux—we’ve seen whole joints blow out.
Worst we’ve seen? Someone used silicone to “seal” a cracked PVC drain. It held just long enough to destroy the drywall in two rooms.
We’re happy to help no matter what stage your project is at. If something went sideways, give us a call. No judgment here.
