Water Line Repair in Dallas–Fort Worth

Water line repair covers the lines that carry pressurized water to and through the property — the service line from the meter, and the branch lines feeding fixtures and outbuildings.

Because these lines are always under pressure, a small defect wastes water continuously rather than only when a fixture is used.

Symptoms and problems

• • A wet or sunken area between the meter and the house
• • Pressure that has fallen off across the property
• • A meter that keeps moving with everything off
• • Air spitting from taps after the pressure drops
• • Water bills climbing month over month

Common causes

• • Age and material fatigue in the buried line
• • Soil movement stressing joints
• • Damage from excavation, fence posts, or tree roots
• • Corrosion at transitions between dissimilar materials

Typical solutions

• • Pressure testing to confirm where the loss is
• • Locating the line and exposing only the failure point
• • Replacing the damaged section or the full run as conditions require
• • Restoring the surface and verifying pressure afterward

When to get professional help

Buried line work involves locating other utilities before digging. It is not a project to start with a shovel and a guess.
