Why Acting on a Leak Immediately Matters
Water damage follows an exponential cost curve. A slow leak that costs $300 to repair today can cause $5,000 to $30,000 in damage to flooring, subfloor, drywall, and insulation if it continues undetected for weeks. Mould growth can begin within 24 to 48 hours of sustained moisture exposure, and once mould is established in wall cavities or under flooring, remediation costs frequently exceed the original leak repair by a factor of ten or more.
Call Brown’s at 204-818-8330 at the first sign of any leak. Signs include visible staining on ceilings or walls, soft or discoloured flooring, increased water bills with no change in usage, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, and visible moisture or corrosion at any pipe joint.

Types of Plumbing Leaks Brown’s Repairs
- Faucet and tap leaks from worn washers, O-rings, and ceramic disc cartridges in kitchen and bathroom fixtures
- Supply line leaks from the braided flexible hoses connecting shut-off valves to toilets, sinks, dishwashers, and appliances, which fatigue and split with age
- Pipe joint leaks from corrosion or failed solder joints on copper, galvanised, or CPVC pipe, common in Winnipeg homes built before 1980

- Slab leaks from pipe failures beneath concrete foundations, detected through pressure testing or thermal imaging
- Hidden wall and ceiling leaks identified through moisture detection equipment, frequently associated with copper pipe corrosion in homes built between 1960 and 1985
