Water Line Replacement, Repair in the U.S.

Frequently Asked Questions

• How far down are water lines installed?

  Water lines are typically buried at a depth of at least 18 inches to protect them from subzero temperatures and other concerns. However, in the coldest climates, they are sometimes installed even deeper to prevent freezing.

   

• How can I unfreeze the main water line?

  Thaw the pipes with safe heat sources like a hairdryer. Always make sure you avoid open flames, as they can ironically damage the pipes and create a fire hazard. In general, preventing frozen pipes will be the best strategy.

   

• Do you offer emergency water line repair?

  Yes, we offer emergency water line repair services for any urgent plumbing issues. Our team is available 24/7 to resolve emergencies such as burst pipes, making sure your home’s water supply is safe.

   

• What is the average cost for water line replacement?

  The potential cost can vary considerably. Depending on things like the length of the line itself and expected labor needs, you should schedule a consultation with a professional plumber for a more precise estimate.

   

• What is a Diagnostic Fee?

  A diagnostic fee, also known as a service call fee, is a standard charge levied by HVAC companies once someone is dispatched to your home to diagnose the issue plaguing your heating or cooling system. A diagnostic fee covers the technician’s time, expertise and travel expenses associated with assessing the problem. It’s essentially a service fee for the technician’s professional assessment to pinpoint what went wrong.

  Think of it like a doctor’s appointment. They need to examine you to help figure out what’s wrong before recommending treatment. Similarly, your HVAC professional needs to diagnose your HVAC equipment to determine the repair or maintenance course of action.
