Water Line Repair reviews from Speed
Our main line backed up into the downstairs shower on a Saturday. They cleared it, then put a camera down and showed me the roots coming in at a joint about thirty feet out. No pressure to do the repair that day, just the footage and a quote. Booked it for the following week.
Tanya R.Speed, NCOur irrigation backflow failed its test. They came out, fitted a repair kit, retested and filed the paperwork with the water department. I did not have to chase anything.
Simone B.Speed, 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.Speed, NCWater Line Repair in Speed: common questions
How do I know if my water line is leaking?
Shut every fixture in the Speed 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 Speed 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.
