Step 5 · Plan for Repair
Once you have confirmed an underground leak and have a general idea of its location, the next step is planning the repair. Repairing a main water line is a significant plumbing job that involves excavating the area, cutting out the damaged pipe section, and installing a robust, watertight repair. Due to the critical nature of this pipe, an improper repair can lead to catastrophic flooding and property damage. It is strongly recommended that you use your phone to contact at least two or three licensed, insured plumbers to get quotes for the repair. They have the specialized tools, experience, and knowledge of local codes to do the job correctly.
