Pipe Repair & Replacement in Smithfield, RI
Pipe repair in Smithfield runs the full gamut — frozen pipe thaws in January, slab leaks in finished basements, pinhole leaks in aging copper, full repipes on homes that still have galvanized supply lines. Smithfield's winters and the age of the housing stock here make this a year-round category of work.

Frozen Pipes: The Smithfield Winter Standard
When it drops below 20°F in Smithfield — which happens most winters — uninsulated pipes in crawl spaces, exterior walls, and unheated basements freeze and burst. Our January phone log looks like half the town calling in sequence. We thaw safely (never a torch — electric heat cables and low-pressure steam), repair the burst section, and pressure-test before restoring service. Then we'll walk the rest of the run and identify the next pipe at risk — because once one goes, the pattern usually continues unless you insulate.
Repiping Older Smithfield Homes
Homes in Smithfield built before 1970 often still have galvanized steel supply lines. The symptoms are classic: brown water after a day away, rapidly declining water pressure over the years, multiple pinhole leaks in a 12-month span. A full PEX repipe of a 3-bedroom Smithfield home typically runs $6,500–$12,500 depending on the number of fixtures and wall access. We open minimal drywall, run PEX-A through the walls, and re-terminate at every fixture with new shutoffs.
Slab Leaks and Hidden Leaks in Smithfield
If your Smithfield water bill jumped and you can hear water running with every fixture off, you've got a leak — usually in a finished basement wall, a slab section, or under a concrete driveway. We use acoustic leak detection and pressure isolation to locate the leak without destroying finished surfaces, then repair with a targeted cut rather than a full demo.
