Water Line Repairs and Replacements

A single supply water line runs all the way from the street, through your property, and into your home. With the turn of a faucet you have access to fresh clean water for cooking, drinking, and bathing. Typically, these water lines should remain trouble-free for years.

However, if you begin to notice a recurring wet area in your yard, a drop in water pressure, or a discoloration of the water, it may be time to call your local Catons experts.

There are multiple reasons why you may need a water line repair or replacement. A few of them include:

• Tree roots growing into the pipes
• Mineral build up and residue
• High water pressure
• Ground Movement
• Acidic Soil Conditions
• Cracked pipes due to freezing and thawing
• General old age

Our experts will find the exact location of the leak and access the situation thoroughly. Depending on the size and location of the leak, we will make an expert decision of whether to repair or replace your water line.

Water line repair is relatively noninvasive, especially if the crack is underground. A smaller pipe will be placed within the original one, past the point of the leak. Urethane foam is then used to seal the crack and prevent further leakage. Water line replacement is a bit more invasive, but could potentially be more beneficial in the long run.
