Service line repair
from the meter to the house.

The water line running from your meter to your house is usually your responsibility, and when it leaks your bill spikes and your yard turns soggy. We repair and replace residential water service lines throughout the Inland Empire, and we will find the lowest-impact way to get it fixed. Not sure if a leak is behind a higher bill? Our hidden water leak calculator can estimate what a leak may be costing you.

Signs of water line trouble

How to tell your service line is failing.

  • Water bill suddenly higher with no change in usage
  • Wet spot in the yard between the meter and the house, even when nothing's been watered
  • Low pressure throughout the house, not just at one fixture
  • Discolored water on first turn-on
  • Water meter spinning when nothing's running inside
Finding the leak

We find it first, then dig only where we need to.

Water line leaks often hide underground. We use a meter test plus electronic and acoustic leak detection to locate the leak before any digging, so we open the smallest area possible in your yard or driveway.

If the line is old galvanized or has leaked more than once, repairing one spot may only move the problem. In that case we explain the option of replacing the line, and how it would be routed to disturb as little of your landscaping as possible.

How a visit goes

Clear options, before anything is dug.

  • We confirm the leak: with a meter test, so you know it is real before anyone digs
  • We locate it: with electronic and acoustic detection, and we mark the spot
  • You get options in writing: repair or replace, with a flat-rate price for each, before any work begins
  • We restore the area: we put back what we can and leave it clean when we finish
Who is responsible

Your side of the meter.

The line from the street to the meter usually belongs to your water provider. The line from the meter to your house is usually the homeowner's. If the leak is on the provider's side, we tell you so you can call them.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions.

How do I know if my water line is leaking?
Turn off every faucet and appliance that uses water, then look at your water meter. If the dials or the leak indicator keep moving, water is going somewhere. A wet spot in the yard, a higher bill or low pressure everywhere in the house are other signs.
Who pays to fix the water line, me or the city?
Usually the line from the meter to your house is the homeowner's, and the line from the street to the meter belongs to the water provider. We tell you which side the leak is on.
Do you have to dig up my whole yard?
No. We locate the leak first so we dig only where we need to. If the whole line needs replacing, we explain the route that disturbs the least.
Should I repair the leak or replace the whole line?
If the line is in good shape and the leak is a single spot, a repair can make sense. If it is old galvanized or has leaked before, replacement often makes more sense. We explain both in writing.
Can a leaking water line raise my water bill?
Yes. An underground leak runs all day and night, so even a small one can add up. Our hidden water leak calculator can estimate what it may be costing you.
