Main Water Line Repair & Replacement

Stop yard flooding and protect your property. Fast, expert excavation and underground pipe replacement for Denver and Englewood.

Signs You Have a Broken Water Main

An underground pipe failure can cause thousands of dollars in property damage if left unresolved. Because the main water line is buried, you must rely on environmental signs to catch a leak early. Call us immediately for diagnostic testing if you notice:

Discolored Water

Dirt, rust, or a metallic taste entering your home’s water supply.

Unexplained Yard Flooding

Puddles, soggy patches, or unusually lush grass over the pipe’s path, even when it hasn’t rained.

Sudden Pressure Drops

A noticeable, house-wide reduction in water pressure when using fixtures.

High Water Bills

A severe spike in your monthly municipal water bill without a change in usage habits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Am I responsible for my water main, or is the city?

In the Denver metro area, the property owner is legally responsible for the water service line running from the municipal water meter into the home or commercial building. The city is only responsible for the primary main line located in the street.

Does homeowners insurance cover water line repair?

It depends entirely on your specific policy and the cause of the break. Standard policies generally do not cover damage caused by age, wear and tear, or tree root intrusion. However, sudden and accidental bursts may be covered. We recommend reviewing your policy's "service line coverage" endorsement.

How long does it take to replace a main water line?

Most residential main water line replacements can be completed in 1 to 2 days, depending on the length of the line, the depth of the pipe, and the amount of excavation required. We prioritize active leaks to minimize disruption to your water service.
