Get a written leak and pipe repair plan

There’s a stain on the ceiling, or the water bill doubled, or a leak somebody patched has come back. We find where the water is coming from and write up the repair, including the wall and ceiling work it takes to put the room back.

Fixing the pipe is half of it. Putting the ceiling back is the other half, and this plan prices both before anyone opens a wall.

When this is the right document

Water is showing up somewhere and nobody has told you where it is coming from, or somebody has repaired it once already and it is back.

Homeowners, landlords and property managers with one affected area, or water showing up in several places at once.

How this differs from a free estimate

A free estimate assumes someone already knows where the water is coming from. When nobody does, or the first repair didn’t hold, the job is finding it and writing down what the fix really involves. This plan pays for that search, the photos and a scope that includes putting the wall or ceiling back.

What you get

The deliverable is the Leak & Pipe Repair Plan. Delivered in 2 business days after the site visit.

  • On-site leak location work on the accessible plumbing, using the same methods as our leak detection service
  • Photo documentation of stains, damp material, corrosion, failed joints and every access point we open or inspect
  • A written finding that says where the water is coming from, or narrows it to the fewest possible places and says what it would take to confirm
  • A written repair scope setting out the real options, from a spot repair to a section or full repipe, and the case for each
  • Putting the room back, priced as part of the job, covering what gets opened, what gets replaced, and the drywall, finishing and paint to close it up
  • Which parts of the work are plumbing and which are drywall, finishing and paint
  • An All Purpose Plumbers budget range for each option
  • A 30-day scope validity period

Sizes and price

One stain or one wet area is the smaller plan. Water turning up in more than one room, or a supply problem nobody has been able to trace, is the larger one. We don’t publish prices. Photos of the damage are usually enough for us to tell you which, and what it costs.

One leak or one affected area

Ask for the price

Several affected areas, or a whole-house supply review where the source is not obvious

  3. 3On the day, a plumber traces the water on the accessible plumbing and photographs each finding and access point.
  4. 4The written plan reaches you 2 business days after the visit.
  5. 5Book the repair with us inside 30 days and the whole plan fee is taken off the repair.

Questions about the Leak & Pipe Repair Plan

What if you cannot find it without opening a wall?⌄
Then the plan says so. It narrows the source to the fewest places it can be and prices the exploratory opening and the patch separately, so you decide. We won’t open a wall on your dime without first telling you what we expect to find behind it.
Do I get the fee back?⌄
You do, as a credit. When All Purpose Plumbers repair work is booked within 30 days of delivery, the plan fee comes off that project. It is not paid back as a refund. Ask us how it applies to your job.
Is this for a leak that is running right now?⌄
No. If water is running right now, shut off the main and call us, and we’ll book a repair visit. This plan is for a leak you’ve already stopped or one nobody can find.
Who puts the wall back?⌄
The plan prices the drywall, finishing and paint to close the opening as part of the job. You won’t be left with a hole in the ceiling and a second contractor to find.
Which size of plan do I need, and what does it cost?⌄
One leak or one affected area is the smaller plan. Several areas, or a whole-house supply review where nobody can tell you where it is coming from, is the larger one. We don’t publish a price. Send photos and we will tell you which one fits and what it costs.
