Pipe Repairs and Replacements
Pipe repairs involve fixing leaks or damages in existing commercial plumbing systems. Replacements entail removing and installing new pipes when repair is impractical or uneconomical.
Our Solutions
We repair and replace pipe for commercial buildings and facilities across Charleston, SC. Our team is licensed in South Carolina under CLM.118214, and we work the same way on every call: camera and locate first, then repair. Seeing the inside of the line tells us whether a section can be saved or a run has to be replaced, so you are not paying to open up walls, slabs, or parking lots on a guess.
Many of the buildings we service around Charleston still run on older galvanized steel or cast iron. Those materials fail in patterns we know well, and we plan around occupied tenants, kitchens, restrooms, and business hours so the work does not shut you down.

Pipe Repairs
- Leak detection and repair: We locate pressurized and concealed leaks before we cut, then make the repair. More on our commercial leak detection and repair service.
- Section patching: When damage is limited to one length of pipe, we cut out and replace that section rather than the full run.
- Sewer line repair: We camera the line, find the crack, offset, or root intrusion, and repair it. See sewer line inspection and repair.
Pipe Replacements
- Partial replacement: We replace the failed run or riser and tie back into sound pipe, which keeps the project scoped and the building open.
- Material upgrades: When galvanized or cast iron has reached the end of its service life, we upgrade that piping to modern materials suited to the system and to the code requirements for your occupancy.
Trenchless Lining
Where the host pipe is a candidate for it, we line the existing pipe instead of trenching, which protects finished floors, drive lanes, and landscaping. Our trenchless division, TrenchX, handles this work. Details on our trenchless sewer repair page.
Should we repair a section or replace a run in a commercial building?
We decide from the camera footage and the condition of the surrounding pipe. If the rest of the run is sound and the failure is isolated, we patch or replace that section. If we see the same corrosion, scaling, or cracking repeating along the run, spot repairs only buy time, and we recommend replacing the run so you are not paying for the same access twice.
Trenchless lining or open repair for commercial lines?
Lining makes sense when the existing pipe still has structure and the access points work, because we avoid cutting slabs, parking areas, or occupied space. Open repair is the better answer when the pipe is collapsed, badly offset, or has to be re-graded or resized. We tell you which one your line qualifies for after we inspect it, not before.
