If you searched for “water line leak repair Boca Raton”, here’s what you should know.
Signs of an Underground Water Leak
Water lines usually run from the meter into your home, and when they leak, the symptoms can be subtle:
Higher-than-normal water bills
A constantly running water meter
Wet or mushy grass in specific areas
Low water pressure indoors
Sounds of running water when everything is off
If you notice any of these, acting fast is key—water leaks worsen quickly.
How We Locate the Leak
We use specialized leak-detection equipment to pinpoint exactly where the water is escaping. This prevents unnecessary digging and keeps your repair costs down.
The Repair Process
Once we’ve found the source of the problem, here’s what happens:
1. Carefully Trenching to the Leak
We expose only the section of pipe that needs repair. Our technicians protect surrounding landscaping as much as possible.
2. Assessing the Damage
Some leaks come from corrosion, others from pipe movement, roots, or previous patch jobs.
3. Making the Repair
Depending on the situation, this may involve:
Cutting out and replacing a section of pipe
Installing new durable PVC or copper line
Re-routing the line if the damage is extensive
4. Backfilling & Yard Restoration
We finish with clean, thorough backfilling and restore the area so it looks as close as possible to the original condition.
