When a pipe bursts behind a wall or a pinhole leak dampens your hardwood floor, the first question on every homeowner’s mind is price. “How much will this plumbing leak repair cost, and how fast can it be fixed?” At CountBricks, our AI-powered estimating platform answers both questions in real time, pairing voice conversation with live material databases so you can approve an accurate budget before the first wrench turns.
Across the Southeast, single-family homeowners are paying between $275 and $1,600 to repair typical supply-line leaks. Smaller fixture leaks—think a loose P-trap under a vanity—can come in under $200, while slab leaks that require jack-hammering concrete may reach $3,000 or more. CountBricks updates these figures weekly, reflecting copper and PEX pipe pricing, labor demand, and regional permit fees, so the estimate you receive today won’t be outdated tomorrow.
• Location of the leak—accessible crawlspace vs. behind tiled shower walls
• Pipe material—galvanized replacements cost more than PEX swaps
• Extent of water damage—drywall removal, flooring replacement, mold mitigation
• Emergency vs. scheduled repair—after-hours labor premiums can add 10-25%
• Code upgrades—new shut-off valves or insulation mandated by local regulations
1. Diagnostics and leak detection: $75-$350 depending on thermal vs. acoustic tools
2. Isolation and shut-off installation: $50-$150
3. Pipe section replacement: $120-$900 based on length and material
4. Surface restoration (drywall, paint, flooring): $80-$600
5. Post-repair testing and cleanup: $40-$130
Because CountBricks itemizes every step inside our digital quote, you can see exactly where your dollars go and decide which restoration tasks you want handled by our team or your preferred tradesperson.
• Water utility fees for meter re-reads after significant usage spikes
