Main Water Line Installation and Repair
Expert water line installation home or outside in the service line.
About This Service
The main water line is the lifeline of your home’s plumbing system. It brings fresh water from the municipal supply straight into the house, feeding every faucet, fixture, and appliance. When this line has an issue, you feel it everywhere. At Sea Glass Plumbing, we approach main line repairs and replacements with the same care and professionalism we bring to every job, keeping the process clear and the work clean from start to finish.
What the Main Water Line Does
This single underground pipe is responsible for delivering all the water you use for cooking, cleaning, bathing, and running appliances. Because it sits below the surface, you rarely see it, but you rely on it every day. A problem here affects the whole house, not just one sink or one room.
Why Hose Bibs Start Leaking
Most leaks come from worn washers, loose packing nuts, or freeze damage. In older homes around the Outer Banks, the internal parts can corrode or crack. If the faucet drips even when tightly closed, the stem may be worn out. If water appears behind the siding, the pipe itself may have split. We inspect the entire setup so you get a correct, lasting repair.
Signs of Main Water Line Problems
Low water pressure throughout the home is one of the most common warning signs. Sudden spikes in water bills also point to a hidden leak. You might notice wet spots in the yard, areas of oversaturated soil, or even water bubbling up along the property line. Inside, tapping or hissing noises when no fixtures are running can signal a failing pipe. Any of these symptoms mean it is time to look deeper.
How We Diagnose and Repair the Line
We start with a thorough inspection to confirm the problem. This includes checking the pressure, examining the meter, and identifying whether the leak is inside the home or outside in the service line. Once we locate the issue, we determine whether the best solution is a spot repair or a full line replacement.
Repairs involve exposing the damaged section, replacing the bad portion, and ensuring the pressure and flow return to normal. If the pipe is aging, brittle, or failing in multiple areas, a complete replacement provides long-term protection and stronger reliability.
