Pipe Repair in Vermont
A single leak in otherwise sound pipe gets a spot repair. When pipe has repeated leaks, is galvanized with low pressure, or is polybutylene (gray plastic, common 1978–1995), repiping the house is usually the lasting fix.

What drives pipe repair calls in Vermont
Frozen pipes in older homes
When: Long cold winters. What fails: Uninsulated walls and fieldstone basements let pipes freeze. What to do: Insulate vulnerable pipes and keep heat on in unoccupied homes.
Winter: Older farmhouses and hunting camps freeze when the furnace quits, and the line from the well to the house is often the weak point.
