What to Expect From Your Water Main Visit

Here's how it works.

1 Schedule Your Visit 

Book online or call or text us. If the county flagged the leak or shut off your water, tell us. Those go to the front of the line.

2 Arrival & Walkthrough

We'll call when we're on the way. Your plumber starts with what you've seen: the bill, the meter, the wet spot in the yard or the crawl space. Then we confirm water is actually being lost.

3 Finding the Problem

Know where it's leaking? Your repair quote is free. Hidden leak? That's the $99 leak detection: we pinpoint it, usually between the meter and the house, and mark the spot. And if it turns out to be something else, like a failing valve, a pressure problem, or the county's side of the meter, we'll tell you exactly that.

4 Spot Repair or New Line, Explained Straight

If the line is healthy and one section failed, a spot repair fixes it for less. If the pipe itself is aging out, like old galvanized or gray poly, we'll show you why and quote both paths anyway, with 0% financing available on replacements. You'll get everything in writing, so you can decide on your own time.

5 The Fix, Sized to the Problem

Often it's a few hours of work: dig at the marked spot, repair the section, done. When a full replacement is the right call, we handle everything in-house: utility locates, the new line pulled trenchless where the job allows, then backfill, grade, and put your yard back. Most in a single day.

If we find a water main leak: here's how we'll take care of you and your home

"We've invested in advanced leak detection equipment and training because when we do have to open up a wall, floor, or yard, we want to make the smallest hole possible. That's just doing the job right." — Owner David Peavey

  • Pinpoint it and explain what we found: We isolate the service line, mark the exact location, and show you what's happening—no guessing.
  • Protect your property: We work carefully to protect your home, landscaping, driveways, and hardscaping—and use trenchless methods when possible to minimize digging.
  • Your choices, no pressure: We'll walk you through spot repair and trenchless replacement options with upfront pricing. You decide.
  • Repair & verify: We fix it, pressure-test the line, and verify with the meter. Your water service is back on as quickly as possible—often the same day.
  • Thoughtful cleanup: Inside, we sweep, wipe, and haul away debris. Outside, we backfill properly, restore sod or landscaping, and get your yard back to normal.
  • We stand behind it (and document it): 10‑year materials & workmanship warranty. We email photos, notes, and test results—with a clear, itemized invoice you can use for insurance claims. Financing available if you need it.

Feel Confident in Your Water Main

6 Reasons to Address Water Main Issues Promptly

A damaged or failing main water line can lead to major headaches—from high bills to foundation problems. Here are six common signs you may need a licensed plumber to help repair or replace your home's water main.

1 Unexplained High Water Bills

A hidden leak in the main line can send your monthly costs soaring. Detecting and fixing the problem early prevents further waste—and saves you money.

2 Puddles or Wet Spots in the Yard

Soggy areas on the lawn or near the driveway could point to a main water line leak. Left unchecked, pooled water can damage landscaping and even undermine walkways or foundations.

3 Low Water Pressure Indoors

If your faucets or showers start trickling, a compromised line or partial blockage may be to blame. Replacing or repairing the main line can restore consistent, reliable flow.

4 Discolored or Rusty Water

Sediment, corrosion, or debris can enter your supply through damaged piping. Correcting the main line helps ensure you have clean, clear water for drinking and household tasks.

5 Foundation or Slab Concerns

Water under a slab or near your home's foundation can cause cracks and structural issues. A properly repaired or replaced main line prevents costly damage down the road.

6 Recurring Leaks or Repairs

If you've called in multiple plumbers over the same issue, it may be time for a more permanent fix. A full or partial main line replacement often saves money in the long run.

When does my main water line need attention?
Unusually high water bills, persistent wet spots in your yard, discolored water, or low water pressure are common red flags. If you notice any of these, it's wise to have a licensed plumber inspect your line.
Why are main water line problems so serious?
A hidden leak can cause costly water loss and potential contamination of your home's supply. Over time, it may even damage your foundation. Early detection is key to avoiding major expenses down the road.
Can you fix leaks if they’re located under my slab foundation?

Yes. With specialized leak detection tools, our licensed plumbers can identify trouble spots beneath a concrete slab without guesswork. If the damage is localized, a targeted spot repair may suffice—saving you from a full pipe replacement and limiting disruption to your home's foundation.

How is a water main leak detected?
Our plumbers use advanced leak detection tools—like acoustic sensors or non-invasive cameras—to pinpoint issues without unnecessary digging. This lets them find trouble spots quickly and accurately.
Will replacing my water main tear up my yard?
In many cases, no. Modern "trenchless" methods allow our plumbers to repair or install a new water line by boring underground, leaving most of your yard and landscaping undisturbed. Traditional excavation is still an option if needed.
What’s the difference between trenchless and traditional excavation?
Trenchless approaches require minimal digging, often just one or two small access points. Traditional excavation involves creating a trench along the entire pipe route. Both methods can be effective; our plumbers will recommend the best one based on your property.
Will my water be off for days during the repair?
Plumbers typically coordinate their work so your water service is disrupted only briefly—often just part of the day. The goal is to restore full service as quickly as possible while ensuring a thorough, lasting fix.
If my yard is wet, does that mean I have a leak?
Not always—rain or sprinkler systems can also saturate the soil. But if the wet spot doesn't dry up, or if it's near the line from the meter to your home, it might indicate a water main leak worth investigating.
Do I need to replace the entire line or just repair a section?
It depends on the condition of your pipes. Sometimes a minor issue can be fixed by replacing one segment; other times, corroded or aging materials may make a full replacement more cost-effective in the long run.
Which materials are commonly used for new water main lines?

PEX and copper are popular choices for residential lines. Both are durable and corrosion-resistant, offering clean, reliable water flow. Your plumber will help you choose the best material based on your home and budget.

Can I wait to fix my main line leak until later?

Delaying a repair can worsen damage, increase water bills, and potentially lead to contamination. It's safer—and often cheaper—to address a suspected leak as soon as possible, before it becomes a bigger problem.

Ilya's Journey with PV HVAC

*Free quotes apply to water main repair and replacement when the leak location is already known. If the leak location is unknown, $99 leak detection covers an on-site visit by a plumber and includes moisture and water meter testing, isolation and pressure testing, and a whole-home plumbing evaluation, with upfront pricing on any recommended repair. The $99 fee is due at the time of service and is non-refundable. If the leak cannot be located with these methods, advanced detection using acoustic or tracer-gas equipment may be required; advanced detection is a separate service, priced based on the scope of work, and is performed only after your approval. Trenchless, no-dig installation is not possible on every property; suitability depends on soil conditions, line depth and routing, existing utilities, and site access, and will be determined on site. Site restoration includes backfilling and rough grading of excavated areas; repair or replacement of landscaping, sod, irrigation, concrete, asphalt, or other hardscape is not included unless specified in writing. Additional charges may apply for service lines beyond standard length, multiple leaks, or work requiring permits, road or sidewalk cuts, or utility coordination. PV's 25-Year Plumbing Protection is a limited workmanship warranty covering qualifying whole-home repipe, water service line, and sewer line installations only; it excludes drain cleaning, stoppages, root intrusion, fixture and supply-line components, freezing, misuse, and damage from external causes, and does not cover manufacturer defects. Coverage is subject in all cases to the full Limited Warranty Terms & Conditions provided with your agreement, which control. Offer applies to residential properties in PV's Atlanta service area and cannot be combined with other offers. Call 404-798-9672 for details.
