    Soldering copper pipe repairs require a professional

Whether you are repairing a leak to an existing pipe or making a new installation, copper soldering is tricky. You can expect prices to cost over a hundred dollars although the repair is usually permanent. The welding nature of this repair makes it dangerous and a potential fire hazard.

Another factor when considering the price of pipe repair is the location of the pipe.  As an experienced plumber i can tell you that a bursted pipe in the ground cost more than the same type of pipe above ground.  This underground pipe repair picture shows a water leak in the dirt outside of a customer’s home.
