Repairs & Replacements for Your Main Water Line
The water service line running from the street to your home takes years of pressure, corrosion, and ground movement. When it fails, you might see soggy yard spots, low pressure throughout the house, discolored water, or a water bill that suddenly climbs.
We locate the break, recommend the right fix, and — where the line allows — use trenchless methods that replace the pipe with minimal digging, sparing your driveway, walkways, and landscaping. For new construction or additions, we install correctly sized lines built to last.
Common Water Line Problems
Corrosion & Age
Old galvanized and copper service lines corrode and leak. Replacement restores clean, full-pressure flow.
Leaks & Breaks
Ground shifting and pressure crack underground lines. We locate the break and repair or replace it.
Low Water Pressure
A failing or undersized line starves the whole home. We diagnose and correct the supply.
Trenchless Replacement
Where possible, we replace lines with minimal excavation — saving your yard and hardscape.
Signs of a Water Line Problem
A failing water line wastes water and undermines your foundation. Call us if you notice:
- Soggy, sunken, or unusually green spots in the yard
- Low water pressure throughout the home
- Discolored, rusty, or gritty water
- A water bill that climbed without explanation
- The sound of running water with everything off
- Pooling water near the street or meter

Water Line Repair & Installation — Questions & Answers
What is the water service line?
It’s the pipe that carries fresh water from the city main (or your meter) into your home. When it leaks or fails, it affects pressure and water quality throughout the house.
What is trenchless water line replacement?
It’s a method of replacing the line with little to no digging, pulling a new pipe through the path of the old one. It spares your driveway, walkways, and landscaping where the line allows.
How do I know if my water line is leaking underground?
Soggy or unusually green yard spots, low pressure, discolored water, the sound of running water with everything off, and a rising water bill are all signs. We can locate the leak precisely.
How long does a water line repair take?
A targeted repair can often be done in a day; a full replacement depends on length and access. We’ll give you a clear timeline and price up front.
Can you install a new water line for an addition or ADU?
Yes. We size and install new water lines for additions, ADUs, and new construction so you get full pressure and code-compliant service.
