About this service

Water Main Repair for Beaverton homes

Your main water line, sometimes called the water service line, is the pipe that runs underground from the water meter near the street into your house. Your water provider looks after everything up to the meter. From the meter to the house, the line is yours. When it cracks or breaks, the signs are easy to miss at first: a patch of lawn that never dries, a meter that keeps spinning, pressure that is a little weaker every week.

Then one day the break gets bigger, and you have low pressure at every fixture, water bubbling up in the yard or no water at all. Our water main repair service finds where the line has failed and repairs it, whether that is a single split section, a leaking joint at the house or an old line that has corroded along its length.

Step by step

How We Handle Your Water Main Repair

  1. 1

    Confirm the leak

    With every fixture off, we watch the meter. If it moves, water is escaping somewhere on your side.

  2. 2

    Find the failure point

    We trace the line from meter to house and pinpoint where the break is.

  3. 3

    Dig only where needed

    We open the ground at the leak rather than trenching the whole yard.

  4. 4

    Repair and restore

    New pipe goes in, water comes back on and we check pressure at your fixtures.

Warning signs

Signs You Need Water Main Repair

When to call

Call right away if water is bubbling up in your yard, your pressure has dropped sharply or you have no water at all. A small wet patch and a steady meter reading can wait a day, but the leak will grow and every hour it runs is water you are paying for.

In Beaverton, water comes either from the City of Beaverton or from Tualatin Valley Water District, depending on where you live. Either way, the provider's responsibility generally ends at the meter, and the line from there into the house is the homeowner's.

Questions

Water Main Repair FAQs

Who is responsible for my main water line?

In most cases the water provider maintains everything up to and including the meter, and the homeowner owns the line from the meter to the house. Your water bill shows whether you are served by the City of Beaverton or Tualatin Valley Water District.

How can I tell if my main line is leaking?

Turn off every faucet and appliance, then look at your water meter. If the dial or flow indicator is still moving, water is escaping somewhere.

Will you have to dig up my yard?

We dig where the leak is rather than along the whole line. Once the break is located, the repair area is usually small.

Can I keep using water with a main line leak?

Usually yes if pressure is still decent, but the leak will grow. If water is pooling near the foundation or pressure has collapsed, close the main valve and call us.
