What Counts as a "Water Main" Leak?

Your water main is the primary supply line from the utility meter at the street curb to your home's main shutoff valve inside or at the foundation. For most residential properties, this is a 3/4" to 1" copper, PEX, or galvanized line running 20 to 150 feet underground.

Main line failures range from slow pinhole leaks that run for months undetected, to sudden full breaks that immediately cut water to the property. Both are emergency situations — a pinhole may not flood your basement, but it adds thousands of gallons to your utility bill every month it runs.

Who's Responsible — You or the Utility?

The utility owns the main line from the water source to the meter. You own everything from the meter to your home. In most jurisdictions, if the leak is on your side of the meter, the repair is your responsibility and your expense. We help you confirm exactly where the failure is before you spend money on anything.

🚨 No Water at All?

A burst main or full shutoff by the utility means you have zero water service. This is a same-day emergency. Call now and tell us no water — we dispatch immediately.

Emergency Line

Detection & Repair Process

Line Location

Electronic pipe locating equipment traces the exact path of your water main from meter to foundation — important before any listening or probing starts.

Acoustic Scan

Ground microphones placed at intervals along the traced line identify the failure location — accurate to 6–12 inches in most soil conditions.

Pressure Verification

We isolate and pressure-test to confirm the failure is in the main run and establish a baseline for post-repair verification.

Targeted Excavation

We dig at the confirmed failure point only — not along the full line. Targeted access means less yard damage and faster repair.

Repair or Replace

For isolated failures in good pipe, we repair or replace the failed section. For corroded or aged lines, full replacement from meter to foundation eliminates future failures.

Water Main FAQ

Yes. Call and tell us you have no water. We treat this as a priority dispatch. In most cases we can locate the failure and begin repair same day. We coordinate with the utility as needed to restore your service.
Full replacement from meter to foundation typically runs $3,500–$8,000 for standard residential runs, depending on length, depth, and surface material (grass vs. concrete driveway). We provide a firm quote after detection — not a range after you've already committed to the work.
Yes for many line configurations. Trenchless pipe bursting or directional boring pulls new pipe through the existing line path without a continuous open trench. This is faster, causes less yard disruption, and often costs less in landscape restoration. We'll tell you upfront if your property is a candidate.
