Plumbing questions, answered for Poipu

Most Poipu homes were built around 1980, and 49% predate 1980 — so a lot of them still run their original supply pipe and water heaters, well past service life. We check pipe condition, water-heater age, and shut-off valves on every visit.

The call we get most in Poipu is a high water table seeping into sewer laterals.

For a burst pipe, shut off your main water valve first, then call us — but repairs on gas water heaters, sewer lines, and pressurized supply lines are best left to a licensed plumber.

Often just the failed section. If the surrounding pipe is still sound and the leak is isolated, a spot repair on your Poipu line is far cheaper than a full repipe.

When the pipe is old galvanized steel throughout, we'll walk you through why repiping pays off long term.
