When the water line to your home breaks or leaks, someone has to dig it up. Colorado Septic Pros does waterline repairs regularly, and our excavation crew handles the digging and the repair.
Signs of a Waterline Problem
A damaged water service line can show up as low water pressure, an unexplained spike in your water bill, or wet ground along the line. Because the line is buried, the first step is to find where the problem is and open the ground there.
Excavation and Repair
We excavate to expose the line, repair or replace the damaged section, and backfill the trench. Excavation is what we do regularly on septic installs, so digging along a property to reach a buried line is familiar work for our crew and equipment.
Planning Around Your Property
A trench across a yard affects the driveway, landscaping, and anything else along the route. We talk through where we need to dig and what to expect before work starts, so there are no surprises.
If You Suspect a Leak
Start by finding your main shutoff valve so you can stop the water quickly if you need to. A simple check is to turn off every fixture and appliance and look at your water meter. If it is still moving, water is going somewhere it should not be. Take photos of any wet spots and note when the pressure changed, because those details help us find the problem faster.
Before Anyone Digs
Call 811 before digging, whether it is us or you. Buried gas, electric, and communication lines can run close to a water line, and having them marked first keeps everyone safe. Please do not dig up a water line yourself.
