Can I fix a water leak myself or should I hire a professional?

You can fix very small leaks (like a dripping faucet or a loose supply hose) if you can safely shut off water and replace a washer or connector. Hire a professional for burst pipes, severe or hidden leaks, slab leaks, or water heater leaks. These can cause structural damage and often require advanced leak detection and 24/7 response. Metro Flow Plumbing serves Dallas and nearby cities and backs repairs with a 5-year parts-and-labor warranty.

Quick checks:

  • Shut off the nearest valve or main.
  • Protect outlets and electronics.
  • Call if water is behind walls or under slab.
