Why PVC Leaks Happen

• Joint failure from improper glue/primer or aged fittings
• Pipe movement due to settling, thermal expansion, or vibration
• UV exposure and weathering on exterior or rooftop runs
• Clogs increasing internal pressure and forcing leaks at weak points
• Impact damage from landscaping, renovations, or root intrusion

Signs You Need PVC Leak Repair

• Damp spots, bubbling paint, or staining on walls, ceilings, or slab
• Water meter spinning when all fixtures are off
• Unexplained low water pressure or sporadic air in lines
• Mildew or musty odors around cabinets, closets, or utility rooms
• Recurring drain backups tied to a damaged or shifted section

How Raptor Plumbing Repairs PVC Leaks

• Protect and isolate: Shut-offs, containment, and surface protection
• Pinpoint diagnostics: Moisture mapping, thermal imaging, and targeted camera inspection
• Durable fixes: Replace compromised sections, install new couplings, and properly support piping to prevent repeat stress
• Code-compliant joining: Correct primer/cement, cure time, and alignment for long-lasting joints
• Verification: Pressure or flow tests and a clean workspace before we leave

Vent Stack Repair: Stop Odors and Restore Drain Performance

Your vent stack lets sewer gases escape and balances air in the drainage system so wastewater flows freely. When it’s blocked, cracked, or poorly sealed, you may notice smells or slow drains throughout your home.

• Sewer gas odors near bathrooms, kitchens, or attic spaces
• Gurgling sounds from drains or toilet bowls
• Slow drainage, especially after heavy rain or when multiple fixtures run
• Roof leaks or staining around the vent boot or flashing

Our Vent Stack Repair Approach

• Obstruction removal: Safe clearing of debris, nests, or buildup
• Reseal and weatherproof: Repair or replace cracked flashing and vent boots
• Structural fixes: Replace damaged PVC sections and secure supports
• System balancing: Add or correct venting where needed; use air admittance valves where permitted
• Proof testing: Smoke or odor testing to confirm issues are resolved

What You Can Do Now

• Shut off water to the affected area if you see active leaking
• Avoid chemical drain cleaners that can damage PVC
• Document what you notice (odors, times, locations) to help diagnostics
• Be cautious on roofs; leave vent stack inspections to professionals
