The diagnosis
What we found
A high water bill with no obvious explanation was the only symptom. Leak detection pinpointed a leak on the main water pipe with no surface indicators - and it sat in a tough spot, hemmed in by a stairway, a walkway, and dense landscaping that made a straight dig-and-patch risky.
The work
What we did
- Used professional leak detection to locate the concealed main-line leak
- Laid out two options: a targeted spot repair, or a full meter-to-home replacement
- On the homeowner's choice, installed a new water service line from the meter
- Routed a new entry point to an accessible basement location
- Avoided the existing stairway, walkway, and landscaping, then restored service
The result
Full water service restored, the source of that rising water bill eliminated, and a brand-new service line from meter to home - backed by an industry-leading warranty.

What this job shows
Why the right call was replacement, not a patch
The leak itself was small. What made this job was where it sat - invisible from the surface and surrounded by a stairway, a walkway, and established landscaping. Digging in blind to patch one spot risked tearing up all of that for a repair that might not outlast the pipe around it.
So we gave the homeowner a real choice: a limited-warranty spot fix, or a new water service line run to an accessible basement entry with a warranty to match. Pinpointing the leak first with leak detection is what made that decision an informed one - the same way we approach hidden-leak calls for homeowners in Grayson.

Frequently asked questions
Should I repair a leaking water service line or replace it?
It depends on the pipe's age, its material, and where the leak sits. A single failure on an otherwise sound, accessible line can be spot-repaired. But when the line is older and the leak is buried under hardscape and landscaping - as it was here - a spot repair often carries a limited warranty and a real chance the next leak is close behind. Replacing meter-to-home resets the clock and comes with a much stronger warranty. We give you both options and the trade-offs.
Why is my water bill high when I can't find a leak?
A buried water service line runs underground from the meter to the house, so a leak on it can waste water continuously without ever showing on the surface. It's one of the most common causes of a sudden high bill with no visible drip indoors - and it takes leak detection, not a walk-through, to pin down.
