A failing water service line leaves a home with weak pressure, a wet yard, or water showing up where the line runs from the meter to the house. On this San Gabriel Valley job, Drain Doctor replaced that service line with copper pipe and restored the concrete over the finished run.
This is not a faucet leak, and it is not a whole-house repipe. The service line is one pipe. If the piping inside the home is sound, replacing that line is the repair. Start with our water line repair page. Look at repiping only when the leak history runs through the house, not just the yard.
What the video shows
The crew opened the yard at the service line, exposed the failed pipe, and installed the new copper line. The clip also shows water at the driveway during the job and the fresh concrete after the trench was closed.
A drip at a fixture is plumbing repair. A service line under the yard or slab is the supply for the whole property, so the shutoff, the locate, and the restoration are part of the job.
When a copper service line is the right fix
- Pressure drops across the whole house, not just one fixture
- Water surfaces in the yard, the driveway, or along the path from the meter
- The existing service line is corroded, leaking, or past another patch
