Water Line Repair reviews from Carrboro
Woke up to water coming through the kitchen ceiling. Called at 5am and had someone at the house before 7. He found the split line, showed me the failed fitting, and had it repaired and pressure tested by mid-morning. The price he quoted at the start is what I paid.
Marcus D.Carrboro, NCSewage smell in the crawlspace turned out to be a cracked cast iron section. They showed me on camera, explained what would happen if we left it, and gave me three options with prices. No scare tactics.
Robert A.Carrboro, NCWater heater died the day before we had family arriving. They got a new one in the same afternoon, took the old one away, and fixed the venting that had apparently never been right. Would use again without thinking about it.
Greg W.Carrboro, NCWater Line Repair in Carrboro: common questions
How do I know if my water line is leaking?
Shut every fixture in the Carrboro house and watch the meter. If it still turns, water is escaping. A wet patch in the yard that never dries confirms it.
How long does a water line replacement take?
Most Carrboro residential service lines are replaced in a single day. Longer runs, driveway crossings or rock in the trench can push it to two.
Do you have to dig up my whole yard?
Usually no. Where the route is straight enough, the new line is pulled between two small pits, which leaves the lawn largely intact.
My pressure is low everywhere. Is that the water line?
It can be, or it can be a failed pressure reducing valve, which is a far cheaper fix. We gauge it before we say anything about digging.
Who is responsible for the line from the meter?
In most North Carolina jurisdictions the homeowner owns everything from the meter to the house. We confirm where the boundary sits before work starts.
