Water service line repair & replacement

The water service line is the pipe from the meter at the street to your house. When it fails you get low pressure, a soggy patch of lawn, or a water bill you can't explain. We diagnose first, then quote a repair or a full replacement so you can compare, and we coordinate with the utility so the shutoff is painless.

Questions

Water Service Line FAQ

More on our FAQ page.

Will you have to dig up my yard?

Sometimes, but less than people expect. Spot repairs need a small excavation at the leak. For replacements we plan the route to minimize disturbance and put everything back when we're done.

Repair or replace?

If the line is copper or PEX and the leak is a single point, a repair is usually right. If it's galvanized or polybutylene, or it has failed before, a replacement stops you paying for the same problem twice. We quote both.

Who is responsible, me or the utility?

In most Snohomish County districts the utility owns the line up to and including the meter; the homeowner owns everything from the meter to the house. We can confirm with your district when we're on site.
