Our Certified Repair Crews will determine the most likely point of the leak. Often, where the water is reaching the surface does not indicate where the pipe is leaking. Water can travel far underground before surfacing. Once the leak is located, it is repaired, water service is restored, the hole is backfilled, and the site is cleaned up. Most breaks involve holes or cracks in the pipe caused by the soil, these breaks are repaired using a clamp. Some breaks involve broken valves or require cutting out and replacing a bad section of pipe. These types of repairs typically take longer to identify and complete the repair.
