Plumbing problems? We can help you!

Understanding the Main Water Line

The main water line typically runs underground from the water meter at the edge of your property to where it connects with the internal plumbing inside your home. Depending on when your property was built, the line may be made of copper, PVC, or even outdated materials like galvanized steel or polybutylene.

This underground pipe works under constant pressure. Any issue with it can affect water quality, water pressure, or even cause costly damage to your yard, foundation, or interior spaces. Because it’s out of sight, many people don’t realize there’s a problem until something significant happens.

Warning Signs

There are several red flags that could point to a damaged or failing main water line. A sudden drop in water pressure throughout the house is often one of the first signs. If you notice water pooling in your yard or along the foundation with no visible cause, that’s another serious indicator.

Higher-than-normal water bills, discolored water coming from faucets, or hearing a constant hissing or running water sound when no fixtures are in use can also be signs of a leak. These symptoms are easy to ignore at first but should always be checked quickly to prevent further damage.

Our Diagnostic and Repair Process

At Alpha Plumbing, we take the guesswork out of main line problems. We use advanced tools to inspect and locate leaks or damage without unnecessary digging. In many cases, we’ll perform a pressure test or use acoustic leak detection to isolate the problem. If needed, we’ll use trenchless technology to visually inspect the line with a camera and assess the best way to fix it. Depending on the condition of your existing line and the location of the damage, we may recommend a targeted repair or a full replacement. If a new installation is required, we’ll walk you through the process, explain the pros and cons of different piping materials, and provide a clear quote up front.

Modern Techniques That Protect Your Yard

Whenever possible, we use minimally invasive techniques to complete water line work. That might include directional boring or trenchless pull-through methods that replace the old line with new piping without having to dig up your entire yard or driveway. Our team is experienced in navigating tight spaces and tricky landscapes while minimizing disruption to your property.

For new construction, we coordinate closely with builders and general contractors to ensure the main water line is installed to code and ready for long-term service.
