Overview
What to do when the main line fails
A failed main line is one of the few plumbing problems that cannot wait until Monday. Water running freely underground can soak a foundation, wash out soil under a driveway and send your water bill climbing by the hour. Losing water entirely is just as urgent if you have kids, older family members or a business to run.
Before you call, find your main shutoff and close it if you can do so safely. It is usually near where the line enters the house or at the meter box by the street. Then call us. We will talk you through what to check and get a crew moving to your address.

Step by step
What happens after an emergency call
Tell us what you see
We ask about the water, the shutoff and any flooding so we know what to bring.
We head out
A crew is dispatched to your address with the equipment for a main line job.
Stop and assess
We make sure the water is off, then locate the failure and check the rest of the line.
Repair or replace
We fix the break if the line is sound, or replace the run if it is not.
Restore service
Water goes back on, the line is tested and the site is made safe.
Warning signs
This is an emergency if you see
Water bubbling up from the ground
Water rising through the lawn or between pavers means the line is open under pressure.
No water anywhere in the house
Every tap dry at once usually means a break between the meter and the house.
Water near the foundation
Pooling against the slab or in a crawlspace can damage the structure if it continues.
A meter dial that will not stop
With everything off, a fast-spinning meter means water is escaping somewhere.
Muddy or sputtering taps
Dirt in the water after a pressure drop can mean the line has broken underground.
A sinkhole or sunken patch
Soil washing away above the line is a sign of a large, ongoing leak.
When to call
Do not wait on a burst line
If water is surfacing, the house has no water, or you cannot get the flow to stop, call right away. Every hour of a full break adds to the water lost, the soil washed out and the cleanup afterward.
If you are unsure whether it counts as an emergency, call anyway. Describing it to us takes a couple of minutes, and we will tell you whether it needs someone tonight or can be scheduled for the next day.

Emergency Water Line Replacement questions
Do you really answer at night?
Yes. Our phones are answered 24/7, including weekends and holidays.
How fast can you get here?
It depends on where you are and the time of day, but we move right away and can usually be at your property the same day you call.
Should I shut off the water myself?
If you can reach the main shutoff safely, yes. Closing it limits damage while we are on the way. If you cannot find it, we can help you locate it over the phone.
Does the water company handle breaks on my property?
Usually not. In most local systems the water provider is responsible up to the meter, and the line from the meter to the house belongs to the homeowner. If the break is on the street side, we will tell you to call the provider.
Will an emergency job always mean a full replacement?
No. Many emergencies turn out to be a single break that can be repaired. We replace the whole line only when the condition of the pipe calls for it.
