On-Line Leak Repair
Industrial leaks present serious risks to personnel safety, environmental compliance, asset integrity, and overall operational efficiency. Traditional repair methods often require shutdowns, isolation, depressurization, and hot work — all of which can lead to lost production, increased costs, and added safety exposure.
RAK Industrial Services specializes in on-line leak repair that allows facilities to stabilize and permanently repair active leaks while systems remain in full operation. This approach helps minimize disruption and avoid costly shutdowns or unnecessary equipment replacement.
With more than 50 years of experience working in active plant environments, RAK delivers field-driven leak repair solutions for piping, tanks, ductwork, valves, and other critical process equipment across heavy industrial facilities throughout the Midwest.
24/7 Emergency Leak Response
Leaks can occur without warning and quickly escalate into serious safety and operational risks. RAK provides 24/7 emergency on-line leak repair services for facilities dealing with active leaks in piping, tanks, and process systems.
Safety is the first priority. Our teams are trained to assess hazards, control the leak environment, and implement stabilization measures before performing repairs.
Our rapid response helps:
- Secure and contain active leaks
- Reduce risk to personnel and surrounding equipment
- Limit environmental exposure
- Maintain operations
- Avoid costly emergency shutdowns
We respond to leaks involving:
- High-pressure and superheated steam
- Gas transmission and process lines
- High-concentration acid and caustic systems
- Hydrocarbon and process fluid releases
- Pressurized water and cooling systems
When an active leak threatens operations, speed alone is not enough — experience, safety, and control matter. RAK’s emergency response teams assess risk, evaluate pressure and service conditions, and implement in-service repair strategies that fit the situation. In many cases, this allows for same-day, off-the-truck repairs that eliminate the need for temporary fixes.

Live Repairs — No Shutdown, No Production Loss
Unplanned shutdowns are among the most expensive events an industrial facility can face. RAK specializes in repairing active leaks without isolating systems, depressurizing lines, or stopping production.
Every leak is evaluated in the field to determine the safest and most effective repair strategy for the service conditions, asset condition, and operating environment.
Our team selects and implements a repair method tailored to the specific failure mechanism rather than applying a generic solution. This evaluation-based approach supports durability, reliability, and long-term performance instead of temporary, short-term remediation.
Every leak is evaluated based on:
- Leak type and severity
- Operating pressure and temperature
- Chemical exposure
- Substrate condition
- Safety and environmental risk
- Accessibility and geometry
Common Leak Applications We Resolve
RAK provides live, in-service leak repair across a broad range of industrial assets and failure types. Our experience spans many substrates, operating conditions, and service environments — allowing facilities to address leaks quickly without interrupting production.
If your facility is considering a shutdown, system isolation, or equipment replacement because of a leak, RAK can often provide a safer, faster, and more cost-effective alternative — performed while your operation remains online.
