What to expect with a water line repair
Before We Arrive
We confirm the yard line leaks, mark it, and call utility locates before digging.
During the Visit
We hand dig, repair to code, and water is off for part of the day.
When We Leave
Line tested, water flushed clean, trench filled and tamped, and sod settles in weeks.
How we fix it
One Bad Spot, or a Bad Line
Clay, roots and age wear lines down: is it one leak or many?
- Leak confirmed in your line first
- Small dig for one bad section
- Trench filled in and cleaned up
The honest downsides
- Your yard shows a trench line for a while
- Brittle line may leak again after a patch
Repair vs Replace the Line
| Repair a section | Replace the line | |
|---|---|---|
| Up front | Less | More |
| Digging | One spot | Meter to house |
| Time | Hours | Usually a day |
| Best for | One leak, good pipe | Old, brittle pipe |
| Future leaks | Possible | Unlikely |
Water Line Repair FAQs
Who is responsible for the water line?
The utility usually owns the meter and street side, and the line from meter to house is yours. If the leak is theirs, we'll tell you to call them.
How much does water line repair cost?
One repair most often runs $375 to $1,100, and a full replacement $2,200 to $5,500, depending on length and obstacles. You get a written price first.
Will you tear up my driveway?
We try not to: a new line can often go around it or be bored under it. If concrete must be cut, we tell you before we quote.
How long will the water be off?
A few hours for a repair, often most of a day for a full replacement. We tell you before shutting it off.
Can I wait to fix it?
A small leak can wait briefly, but it raises every bill and can soften soil near your foundation. Bubbling water or a big pressure drop needs fixing now.
