How to Spot a Water Line Leak

💰
Sudden Water Bill Spike
A break or pinhole leak underground can lose thousands of gallons before showing surface signs.
🌿
Wet or Muddy Yard
Soggy areas, mud, or sinkholes in your yard — especially near the street — often indicate a main line break.
📉
Low Water Pressure
A compromised main line reduces flow to every fixture in your home simultaneously.
🎵
Water Sounds
Hissing or rushing water sounds near the meter or under floors when all fixtures are off.
🌱
Unusually Green Patch
A strip of grass significantly greener than surrounding turf often follows the water line path.
💧
Meter Running Constantly
Shut off all fixtures and watch the meter dial. Movement confirms a leak somewhere in the system.

What We Do

📡
Line Locating & Diagnostics
Electronic line-locating equipment marks the exact path and depth of your main water line before any excavation begins.
🔧
Spot Repair
When damage is isolated — a single joint failure, coupling failure, or small break — we excavate to that point only and make a lasting repair.
🔄
Full Line Replacement
When corrosion is widespread or the pipe material is at end-of-life, we replace the full service line from the meter to the house.
🏠
Pipe Materials
New service lines installed in copper or high-density polyethylene (HDPE). Both materials are approved by Rockport and Aransas County and provide 50+ year service life.
🌱
Yard Restoration
We backfill, compact, and grade all excavated areas. Sod or seeding is included for disturbed lawn areas.
📋
Permit & Coordination
Main water line work requires a permit and coordination with the city water department. We handle all of it.
FAQ

common Questions

Who is responsible for the water line – Me or the city?

In Texas, the homeowner is typically responsible for the service line from the meter to the house. The city owns the main line in the street and the meter itself. We can help you determine ownership boundaries before starting work.

How deep is the water line buried?

In the Rockport area, water service lines are typically buried 18–24 inches deep. We use electronic locating equipment to mark depth and path precisely before excavation.

What pipe material should I use for replacement?

We typically recommend copper for its durability and long track record, or HDPE (high-density polyethylene) for its corrosion resistance and flexibility. Both are approved for residential water service in Aransas County.

How long does water line repair or replacement take?

A spot repair usually takes 3–5 hours. A full service line replacement from meter to house typically takes 1 full day, including trenching, pipe installation, backfill, and restoration.
