plumbing repair
Fixing leaky pipes
Plumbing repair is the work of fixing pipes, fixtures, drains, and other components of a water or sewage system.
The term covers everything from unclogging a toilet to replacing corroded pipes: We called someone for plumbing repair after the leak started.
Often shortened to just "plumbing" when context is clear: The plumbing needs work.
