Questions about water line repair
How do I know if my water line is leaking?
Shut every fixture in the North Carolina 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 North Carolina 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.
