Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about water line services

Water line replacement typically costs $2,000-$6,000 depending on line length, depth, material choice, and access. Simple repairs may cost $200-$1,500. We provide free estimates before any work.
Common causes include: corroded/clogged pipes, faulty pressure regulator, municipal supply issues, partially closed valves, or leaks in the water line. We diagnose the cause and recommend the right solution.
Signs include: unexplained high water bills, sound of running water, wet spots in yard, low water pressure, and water meter spinning when nothing is running. Underground leaks aren't always visible from the surface.
Both are excellent choices. Copper is proven over decades with a 50-70 year lifespan. PEX costs less, installs faster, and resists freezing. For Florida homes, either works well—we can explain the pros and cons for your situation.
Most residential water line replacements take 1-2 days. Trenchless options are typically faster. Emergency repairs can often be completed same-day.
Yes! Water line replacement requires permits in Florida. We handle all permit applications and schedule required inspections as part of our service.
We minimize disturbance whenever possible. For replacements, we offer trenchless options that require only small access points. When excavation is needed, we work carefully and restore the area when finished.
Yes, if you're experiencing flow issues due to an undersized line. We can assess your water demands and recommend whether upsizing makes sense for your home.
Repair makes sense for isolated leaks or minor issues. Replacement is recommended when there's heavy debris in water, extensive leaks losing water rapidly, or older clay pipes that would be crushed by new connections. We'll honestly assess which option saves you money long-term.
Low-pressure lines or pressure regulators may be needed if your water pressure is too high—damaging fixtures and making water difficult to control. High-pressure or larger lines may be needed for large homes or when adding an addition. We assess your pressure and recommend the right setup.
