FAQs
Absolutely, and this is one of the most common ways a leaking water line first shows up. Underground leaks often have no visible signs at ground level for weeks or even months. The pipe could be losing water deep in the soil without creating a wet spot on the surface. If your bill has gone up significantly without a change in usage, it’s worth having us take a look before it gets worse.
We understand — your yard and driveway matter. The amount of excavation depends on where the break is and how deep the line runs. In many cases, we can isolate the damaged section and keep digging to a minimum. And because we also operate as a landscape construction company, we restore everything we disturb.
It’s a fair question. When you’re looking at excavation companies, check whether they’re licensed, handle their own permitting, and have experience specifically with water service lines, not just general digging.
For most water line repairs, we aim to restore service the same day. More involved replacements or new installations may require a planned outage, but we always give you advance notice, work as efficiently as possible, and let you know exactly what to expect before we start. We know water isn’t optional — so we don’t treat it like a low priority.
Ideally, the water service line is planned before framing begins, since it affects where your main entry point comes in and how pressure is sized for the whole home. Yes, we regularly work alongside general contractors and builders.
