What Water Line Replacement Covers

Water line replacement means we pull out the old pipe bringing water from the street into your house and put in a new one. Could be the main service line from the city hookup to your meter, the run from the meter to the house, or branch lines feeding certain parts of your property.

When a water line goes bad, you know it pretty quick. Soggy grass, puddles near the curb, weak pressure at every faucet, or your water bill suddenly doubles for no reason. Here in Las Vegas, the clay soil swells and shrinks with the seasons, and the ground settles. That stresses buried pipes. Throw in old galvanized steel or polybutylene, and leaks are bound to show up.

Most water lines last anywhere from 50 to 100 years depending on the material, but rust eats through metal, tree roots wedge their way in, the ground shifts around, and pipes eventually crack just from being old.

Aging water infrastructure is a nationwide issue, and old service lines fail everywhere, including here. The EPA’s Drinking Water Infrastructure Needs Survey tracks these challenges across the country.
