FAQs
What are the most common main water line issues homeowners in Greenback experience?
In Greenback, the main culprits are root intrusions from mature trees, shifting soil that cracks older PVC or clay lines, corrosion in galvanized or cast-iron pipes, and blockages caused by mineral-rich local water leaving scale deposits. Seasonal temperature swings can also cause pipes to expand and contract, leading to leaks or breaks.
How can I tell if my main line is leaking or damaged?
Warning signs include an unexplained spike in your water bill, soggy or unusually green patches in the yard, low water pressure throughout the home, gurgling sounds in plumbing fixtures, or visible water pooling near the street connection. If you notice any of these in Greenback, call us for a camera inspection before the damage worsens.
Do you offer trenchless main line replacement in Greenback, and how does it work?
Yes. Our trenchless methods—pipe bursting and pipe lining—require only two small access holes rather than an open trench. Pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE pipe through the old one, breaking the existing pipe outward, while pipe lining inserts an epoxy-saturated liner that cures into a seamless new pipe. Both options minimize yard damage, shorten project time, and typically cost less than full excavation.
How much does a main line repair or replacement typically cost in our area?
Costs in Greenback generally range from $1,500 for a spot repair to $6,000–$8,000 for a full trenchless replacement. Prices depend on pipe length, depth, material, and whether local permits or traffic control are required. We provide a free on-site estimate and a detailed, written quote so you know the exact investment before work begins.
Will my water be shut off during the repair, and for how long?
Water service is usually shut off only during the active repair phase—typically 2–4 hours for spot repairs and 4–6 hours for trenchless replacements. We coordinate timing with you, and most homes have water restored the same day. If a longer shutoff is necessary, we’ll provide advance notice and temporary water solutions if needed.
Are your repairs guaranteed, and what kind of warranties do you provide?
Absolutely. All main line repairs and replacements performed by Lasting Repairs Plumbing come with a 10-year workmanship warranty and up to a 50-year manufacturer’s warranty on trenchless HDPE or epoxy-lined pipes. If any issue related to our work emerges within the warranty period, we’ll fix it at no cost to you.
