Your water service line is the single pipe that carries water from the meter at the street to your home. When it fails, the symptoms are different from an indoor leak: a spike in the water bill, a patch of lawn that stays soft and green through a dry spell, or pressure that drops across the whole house at once.
Because the line is buried, finding the failure precisely is most of the job. We locate it before we dig, so the repair is a small excavation rather than a trenched-up yard.
What our water lines service covers in Dade City
- Service line leaks between the meter and the house
- A soggy strip of lawn that stays green in dry weather
- Sudden whole-house pressure loss
- Old polybutylene or galvanised service lines
- Line reroutes and full replacement
- Coordination with the utility at the meter
How a buried line announces itself
The clearest sign is water surfacing where it should not: a strip of lawn along the line's route that stays wet and lush while everything around it is dry. Others include a water bill that climbs with no change in use, a meter that keeps ticking with every fixture off, and pressure that has fallen everywhere in the house rather than at one tap.
In our sandy soil a service line leak can travel before it surfaces, so the wet spot is not always directly over the break. We use pressure testing and locating equipment to pin the actual failure rather than digging where the puddle happens to be.
Repair, reroute or replace
A single failure on an otherwise sound line is a spot repair. But if the line is old polybutylene or corroded galvanised, one failure means more are coming, and repairing them one at a time is throwing money at a pipe that is finished. In that case a new line, often rerouted along an easier path, is the honest answer.
Where the boundary between your responsibility and the utility's sits varies, and it matters because it decides who pays. Generally you own the line from the house to the connection at the main. We help you confirm where that line falls before any work starts.
