How do I know if I need water main repair?

The most obvious sign is losing water pressure or having no water at all. But there are earlier warning signs you should watch for. If you notice wet spots in your yard that don’t dry up, especially near where your water line enters your property, that’s often the first indication of a leak. You might also see your water bill suddenly increase without any change in your usage patterns. Other signs include hearing water running when no fixtures are turned on, or noticing that your water has an unusual taste or smell. If you suspect a problem, don’t wait—water main leaks get worse over time and can cause expensive property damage if left untreated.
The cost depends on the specific problem and how extensive the repair needs to be. Simple repairs might cost a few hundred dollars, while complete line replacements can run several thousand. What matters most is getting an accurate diagnosis first. We provide free estimates, so you’ll know exactly what you’re dealing with before any work begins. We’ve found that many homeowners are surprised that their repair costs less than they expected—especially when caught early. The real expense comes from waiting too long. A small leak that could be fixed affordably today might require major excavation and property restoration if it’s ignored for months.
In many cases, yes. We use trenchless repair methods whenever possible, which means minimal disruption to your landscaping, driveway, or other property features. Trenchless techniques allow us to repair or even replace water lines by accessing them through small entry points rather than digging long trenches. This saves time, reduces costs, and keeps your property looking the way it should. However, some situations do require traditional excavation methods. We’ll always explain your options and recommend the approach that makes the most sense for your specific situation and budget.
Most water main repairs are completed the same day we start work. Simple leak repairs often take just a few hours, while more complex jobs might require a full day. The key is having the right parts and equipment ready to go. Because we stock commonly needed materials and maintain professional-grade tools, we rarely have to delay repairs while waiting for supplies. For larger projects like complete line replacements, we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed throughout the process. Our goal is always to restore your water service as quickly as possible while ensuring the repair is done right.

Arden-Arcade’s housing stock, built primarily between 1945-1970, faces several common water line challenges. The original pipes in these homes are often made from materials that don’t hold up as well over time. Tree roots are another major factor. Mature trees that make these neighborhoods so attractive also have extensive root systems that can interfere with underground water lines. Roots naturally seek out water sources and can cause cracks or complete breaks in aging pipes. Hard water in this area also accelerates pipe deterioration by causing mineral buildup and corrosion over time. Regular maintenance and early intervention can prevent many of these problems from becoming major repairs.
