Water Main Replacement

Water main lines, also known as water service lines, deliver fresh drinking water to your home or business from the public water supply. On the public street, there is a water main pipe that brings water from local treatment plants into communities and neighborhoods. These public water mains are owned and maintained by the local municipality, township, or city.

Public water service lines then branch off from the water main in the direction of your home or business to deliver water into the building. When the public water service lines cross over the property line, they then become the property and ownership of the homeowner. At this point, they are known as private water service lines.

These water service lines are often referred to as water mains, and when they rupture, break, or crack, can lead to serious plumbing damage. If the water line breaks on your side of the property line, then you are responsible for any repairs or plumbing repiping costs.

We offer effective, mess-free main line replacement service. Before beginning work, we’ll complete a thorough site inspection to ensure that on installation day, we will have everything we need to get your line replaced and minimize the amount of time your water has to be shut off for water main line replacement.

One of the best services we offer is trenchless water line replacement. Rather than digging up your yard to locate, remove, and replace your old mainline, we use a drilling system that enables us to bore the new line under the ground without disturbing most of the soil around your home.

Before your plumbing branches off to the different rooms in your house, it enters as one single line, known as the mainline. Over the years, the original main in your house can deteriorate due to friction with rocks or concrete, or simply from old age.

Water Main Replacement Process

A water main replacement or water service line replacement is critical when you have a leaky water main. If you have water bubbling up in your front yard, your water bill has increased, or you notice a sudden drop in water pressure in your home, it could be a broken or clogged water main line. Here is the typical process we follow when we perform a water service line replacement:

• Locate The Leak: It’s important to pinpoint the exact location of your water main break. Using our sophisticated leak detection technology, we are able to find out exactly where the leak occurred.

• Replace The Line: Using our trenchless water main replacement technology, we can completely replace your water main service line without having to dig a trench in your front yard.

• Test For Accuracy: After our team of water line replacement technicians has successfully replaced the broken line, we test to ensure the new water line is working properly.

• Clean Up And Complete The Job: At ASAP Repipe Pros, we are serious about leaving your home better than we found it. After we are done replacing your water line, we will clean up and make sure that no mess is left behind. At this point, you will also get a detailed summary of the work performed.

There are several tell-tale signs that you have a water main break. If you are experiencing any of these signs, then you should contact a water main repiping plumber in Phoenix right away! A water service line break can not only be very costly if left unattended to, but it can also cause serious spikes in your water bill. Certain municipalities in the Phoenix Valley are even starting to assess penalties due to water lost during a main break if the homeowner is not attentive. Here are the common signs that you have a water main line rupture:

• Bubbling Water In Front Yard: If you have water bubbling up through your front yard like in the picture, then this is a sure way to know that your water service line has ruptured. Because these water lines come in off the street from the public water main, when they break, the water tends to flow into your yard.

• Spikes In Water Bill: If you are noticing unusual spikes in your water bill, this could be another sign that you have a water main leak or a hidden water leak. One way to test this is to turn off all of your faucets in your home and check if the water meter is still spinning. If it is, you probably have a leak!

• Dirty Water or Bad Water Quality: If you see a sudden change in the quality of your drinking water, this is another sign that your water main line could be cracked. Because your water main brings fresh water into your home, when it’s cracked dirt and other debris can get into the line causing your water to appear brownish in color.
