The Problem

Is this happening to you?

Low water pressure everywhere. A soggy strip of grass that stays wet in the dry weeks. The faint hiss of running water under the slab. Water line breaks do not heal. They get more expensive every day you wait.

Our Process

How we handle it

  1. Leak detection

    Acoustic and pressure tools to pinpoint the leak location, not just the wet spot.

  2. Diagnose the cause

    Corrosion on old galvanized, root movement, ground shift, or a failed fitting.

  3. Flat-rate quote

    Spot repair or full replacement priced up front.

  4. Pull permits, schedule shutoff

    We coordinate the city meter shutoff and the permit side.

  5. Execute the repair

    Trenchless pull or targeted dig. Minimal surface disruption.

  6. Pressure test

    We verify the repair holds before we close anything back up.

Questions, Answered

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my water line is leaking?
A jump in the water bill with no change in habits, a wet spot in the yard that will not dry, reduced pressure at all fixtures, or the sound of running water when nothing is on. Any of those is worth a pressure test.
Do you offer trenchless water line replacement?
Yes, where soil, depth, and routing allow. We can often pull a new line through the old path with two access pits, instead of trenching the whole run.
How long does a water line replacement take?
Most residential water line replacements wrap in one to two days. Permit, locates, and the utility shutoff set the timing.
What material do you use?
Most replacements use PE or copper. We match the material to code and to your long-term needs.
Will the repair damage my landscaping?
Trenchless keeps disruption to two small pits. If we have to trench, we restore the surface but not the landscaping. Most homeowners find it is a fair trade against the cost of a line failure under the driveway.
Who pays for a water line repair, me or the city?
The line from the city meter to your house is the homeowner’s responsibility. The city handles the line on their side of the meter.
