Water Line Repair reviews from Sims
Garbage disposal was humming and I assumed it was dead. Turned out to be a jam plus a partly blocked trap arm. Cleared both, no new unit needed. Appreciated the honesty.
Kevin T.Sims, 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.Sims, NCCalled three places, this was the only one that gave me a real arrival time instead of a four hour window. Showed up when they said, fixed the shower valve, done in an hour.
James O.Sims, NCWater Line Repair in Sims: common questions
How do I know if my water line is leaking?
Shut every fixture in the Sims 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 Sims 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.
