How Michael & Son determines your estimate

  • We determine the extent of the damage. Sometimes a water main line is only partially damaged, meaning our pros only need to repair a small portion of the line. Other times, the entire line may need to be replaced because the damage is so severe. The more extensive the damage, the more the job will cost. Our professionals will inspect your line and keep you in the know before any work is done.
  • We measure the depth of the line and the ease of access. The deeper the line and the harder it is to access, the more the job will cost. Some obstacles can make for hard to reach lines, such as concrete patios, trees, or bushes.
  • We estimate the number of hours for the job. Once we know the cause and extent of the damage, we then determine the hours it will take to finish the job. The labor cost is clearly defined in the estimate we hand you.

FAQs

Water Line Repair Frequently Asked Questions

  • You should immediately locate and use your main shut-off valve to stop any more water from coming through. Then, call an emergency plumber and let them know exactly what happened. Finally, while you wait, try to minimize damage inside your home by removing your belongings from the affected areas.

  • When your water main breaks or leaks, it releases water into the soil. This could cause oddly green patches of grass, or you may notice wet sections even without rain.

  • It depends on the extent of the damage and the location and state of your pipe. Your plumber will locate the damage and either conduct a camera or acoustic inspection to determine the best way to proceed.

  • Most repairs should be done within a few days. However, the exact time it takes isn't easy to predict — it'll depend on the damage, the location, and the method used to repair it.

  • Follow these tips to reduce the likelihood of another water line problem:

    • Have your pipes inspected regularly to find weak spots and forming clogs.
    • Avoid flushing or dumping anything like hygiene products, grease, and foods that absorb moisture.
    • Don't plant trees or other plants near your pipes.
