Signs it's time to call
- Unexpected wet areas along a supply route
- A persistent pressure change
- A suspected underground water leak
What to do before the visit
If water is spreading toward electrical equipment or causing unsafe ground conditions, stay clear. Call with the symptoms and any information from your water utility. Do not excavate around buried utilities yourself.
Get to the cause, then choose the repair.
The investigation considers the private service line, visible symptoms, and whether the utility needs to assess its side of the connection. The responsibility boundary should be confirmed before work is planned.
When you call, describe when the problem started, whether it is getting worse, and any previous work in the area. Share the property address and any access restrictions so the visit can be planned.
What affects the cost?
Depth, route, material, access, utility locations, and surface restoration affect the repair. Ask whether permits and required utility coordination are included.
Ask for the assessment process, any visit or diagnostic charges, and the proposed repair price. Understand what is included before authorizing work. A phone conversation helps establish the next step; it does not replace an on-site diagnosis.
Questions about water main repair
Is every low-pressure problem a broken water main?
No. Fixture issues, valves, regulators, and utility-side conditions can also affect pressure. Diagnosis should come before excavation.
Who is responsible for the service line?
Responsibility depends on the utility and the specific section of the system. Confirm the boundary with your water provider before authorizing work.
