Restoring Your Water Supply.
Waterline failures may result in significant property damage if left unresolved. Problems such as burst pipes, underground leaks, and damaged service lines can interrupt water service to your home while also impacting surrounding infrastructure. Sudden changes in water supply or visible signs of underground leaks can be signs of a damaged waterline.
FAQ’s
Why do I have a sudden drop in water pressure?
A broken, damaged, or leaking waterline may reduce the water supply to areas of your home.
Why is water pooling in my yard?
If you see unusual water accumulation in your yard, driveway or landscaped areas, this may indicate an underground waterline is leaking.
Why do I hear water running inside my house?
If you constantly hear the sound of running water in your home, you may have a hidden water leak. A continuous flow of water through your pipes can create vibrations and sounds that travel throughout your plumbing system. If you’ve confirmed that all taps are turned off and that none of your toilets are running, the sound could be a sign of a leak in your water line.
Why has my water usage increased?
If you are seeing increased consumption on your utility bills, it’s often a sign of a damaged waterline that is continually leaking.
Why is my water discolored?
Water that appears brown or cloudy is a result of sediment entering the waterline as a result of a damaged pipe. It also could be from the Municipality flushing their system. Both can cause issues with your supply line.
Should I be worried about moisture in my basement?
Yes. Persistent moisture in your basement or around your foundation can be a sign of a waterline leak near your home.
How can I reduce the need for emergency repairs?
Preventing waterline failures is something we get asked regularly. Age, frost, location to large trees and movement of ground are the main route of failure.
Pipe maintenance and replacement:
Repair or replace aging, worn, or damaged pipes to reduce the likelihood of unexpected breaks and failures.
Proper insulation:
Insulate exposed or vulnerable pipes, particularly during colder months, to help prevent freezing and bursting.
Tree and root management:
Maintain an appropriate distance between large trees and waterlines to reduce the risk of root intrusion and pipe damage.
Monitor water usage:
Review water bills regularly and watch for unexpected increases in consumption, which may indicate a hidden leak requiring prompt attention.
How do you repair a waterline?
The Perimeter Drainage approach to waterline repair typically involves the following steps:
Locating the damaged pipe:
Accurately identifying the source and location of the failure helps determine whether the affected section can be repaired or needs to be partially replaced.
Excavation, when required:
For underground waterlines, controlled excavation may be necessary to safely access the damaged section.
Pipe repair or replacement:
The damaged portion of the pipe is repaired or replaced to restore the waterline’s integrity and reliable operation.
System testing:
Once the repair is complete, the waterline is tested to verify that the system is functioning and the water supply has been fully restored.

Craig is the guy I count on to ensure everything is in order as my crawlspace flooded a few years ago. He explains everything he does in detail and listens intently to your concerns. He is also very knowledgable and takes great pride in his work. I installed a check valve on my own to the wrong pipe and without asking he corrected it. So appreciative of Craig and his dedication to excellence.
