"I spoke with 3 general contractors regarding the project and chose Jakubek. Dawid and his father were punctual, responsive with follow-up questions, and provided a reasonable quote. Even though I read their highly recommended reviews on Angi's website, I was still nervous about picking a contractor. However, now that the project is completed, I can honestly say Jakubek Inc- father, son, & team were amazing! They shifted cabinets in my kitchen island and installed a new granite countertop to make space for a new 36-inch range to replace my 30-inch range. In addition, they created a new vent plus electrical and installed a new hood. They removed the existing sink and cabinet in the powder room and installed a new cabinet, sink, countertop, and mirror. I moved my furniture out of the main level to have hardwood floors refinished and realized how badly the walls needed to be repainted. They were able to accommodate a last-minute request to paint interior walls and ceiling. Admittedly, the breakdown price for refinishing the hardwood floors was a few thousand more than other quotes, but I liked the continuity of having 1 contractor handle all details. Jakubek removed the quarter-round modeling, the floors were refinished (looked fantastic!) and then re-installed new quarter-round modeling. The team also installed tiles by the backdoor entrance because previously, it was hardwood, and the floor was so damaged by tracking in water/snow. Honestly, I could not ask for a better contractor - so nice, trustworthy, helpful, and felt very comfortable having the team in the house to do the work. I will definitely recommend their work and use them for any future projects."

Most homeowners' insurance policies distinguish between the pipe repair and the resulting water damage. It will often cover sudden and accidental water damage, rather than the actual pipe repair. Gradual leaks that develop over time fall under maintenance issues, which policies generally exclude. Review your specific coverage details, as some companies offer optional water backup or service line coverage endorsements. Always document damage thoroughly and promptly contact your insurance representative to understand your coverage options.
Repairing a leaking pipe inside a wall costs between $150 and $350 for the plumbing work alone. When you factor in necessary drywall repairs, total costs often reach $500 or higher. Expenses can climb significantly for situations involving extensive water damage behind the wall. The final price depends on pipe material, wall construction, and whether mold remediation becomes necessary. Professional assessment is crucial for accurate cost estimation since hidden damage often exceeds initial expectations.
For simple, accessible leaks, DIY repairs are possible with basic plumbing knowledge and proper tools. A 10-foot section of PVC pipe costs $5, making materials affordable for straightforward fixes. However, leaks in walls, ceilings, or involving specialized materials like copper or cast iron require professional expertise. Improper repairs risk further damage, code violations, and potential insurance claim denials. When considering DIY approaches, honestly assess your skill level and the complexity of the problem before proceeding.
Several warning signs suggest hidden pipe leaks. Watch for unexplained increases in water bills, sounds of running water when fixtures aren't in use, or persistent damp spots. Other indicators include musty odors, visible mold, reduced water pressure, and water stains on walls or ceilings. For hot water pipes, unusual warm spots on the floors might indicate leakage. If you suspect a problem but can't locate it, professional diagnostic services cost $80 to $100 and use specialized equipment to pinpoint hidden leaks.
Repair timeframes vary significantly based on accessibility and complexity. Fixing exposed pipes might take less than an hour, while accessing and repairing pipes in walls requires two to six hours. Complex situations involving multiple leaks or difficult-to-reach areas might need a full day or longer. Additional time is necessary if secondary repairs like drywall patching or floor restoration are included. Most plumbers provide timeframe estimates after initial assessment, allowing you to plan accordingly for the disruption.
