From a slow leak to a full break — Plumbco repairs and replaces water main lines with trenchless options where possible, municipal coordination when required, and a written warranty on every job.
“A wet spot in the yard that appears every few days is a water main leak until proven otherwise. We locate it, expose only what we need to, and fix it properly — with the permit to prove it.”
Water main issues range from a slow pinhole leak causing a high water bill to a full line break that shuts off service to the house. Both are time-sensitive. We locate the problem with electronic leak detection, assess the pipe condition, and give you a written quote covering the full repair — including permit coordination with your municipality.
Where conditions allow, we offer trenchless pipe repair or replacement — less digging, less disruption to landscaping and driveways, and faster completion. When full excavation is necessary, we excavate cleanly, backfill properly, and restore the surface to match what was there.

Permitted & Inspected Repairs
Before any digging, we locate the exact position of the leak using electronic ground microphones and pressure testing — minimizing excavation.
For localized leaks in otherwise sound pipe, we expose only the affected section and repair it cleanly — copper, PVC, or ductile iron.
When the pipe is too far gone for spot repair — due to age, material (lead, galvanized), or repeated failures — we replace the full service line from the meter to the house.
Where soil and pipe conditions allow, we replace the line by pulling new pipe through the existing path — minimal digging, preserved landscaping.
Water main work requires notification and sometimes inspection by the local water authority. We handle all coordination so you don't have to navigate the permit and inspection process yourself.
After excavation, we backfill properly, compact, and restore the surface — lawn, gravel, or concrete patch — to match the pre-dig condition.
Electronic leak detection pinpoints the issue before a shovel goes in the ground. You get a written assessment of what's failing and why.
Full scope — excavation, repair or replacement, permit fees, and surface restoration — quoted in writing before any work begins.
We file the permit, coordinate with the water authority, and complete the repair to code. You don't manage any of the paperwork.
Surface restored, permit closed, pressure tested. We walk you through what was replaced and hand you the documentation.
We don't excavate more than necessary. Trenchless options protect your lawn, driveway, and landscaping — and finish faster.
We handle every interaction with the water authority and municipality. You don't file paperwork, schedule inspections, or follow up.
We find it before we dig it. Electronic leak locating means we open only what we need to — and nothing more.
Every water main repair and replacement comes with a written labor warranty. The pipe we install is also covered by manufacturer warranty on materials.
“We had a mystery wet spot in the yard for months. Two companies dug in the wrong place. Plumbco used electronic detection, found the leak on the first try, replaced a section of the line, and had the lawn reseeded before they left. Professional from start to finish.”
