Water Line

THE SHORT ANSWER
Pressure that dropped across the whole house, a wet strip in the yard, or a water bill that climbed with no change in habits usually points at the service line between the meter and the house. Hargrave’s locates the failure, then repairs, reroutes or replaces the line, including trenchless options that spare the yard and the driveway. You see the price in person before we open any ground anywhere in south Louisiana.

Repair, reroute, or replace?

What your line needs

Once we know where the failure is, there are three honest outcomes. We tell you which one you have before we quote it.
REPAIR
One break in a line that is otherwise sound, and access is straightforward. We open one spot and close it back up.
REROUTE
The failure is under a slab, a driveway or mature trees. We run a new path around the obstacle, often by boring, instead of breaking concrete.
REPLACE
Galvanized, repeatedly patched, or narrowed by corrosion. A new service line in modern material restores full pressure and ends the repeat repairs.

Why service lines fail here

Clay that moves with the season
The same swelling and shrinking that stresses sewer joints stresses a buried water line, and a shallow line takes the worst of it.
Old galvanized service lines
Plenty of older Lafayette properties still have galvanized between the meter and the house. It narrows with scale from the inside, so pressure fades gradually until people assume it is normal.
Everything is under something
Driveways, patios and mature trees sit over most service lines here, which is exactly why boring and rerouting are worth pricing before excavation.

How a water line job goes

  1. You book
    Online or by phone, 24/7. We confirm the window with you.
  2. We test and locate
    Meter test, pressure readings at the house and the meter, and line locating so we know where the failure is instead of trenching to find it.
  3. You see the price, then we start
    Repair, reroute or replacement, priced in person. The price you approve is the price you pay.
  4. Restored and pressure tested
    New or repaired line pressure tested, water quality flushed, and the ground put back the way we told you it would be.

Water line questions we get every week in Lafayette and Youngsville

Is the line from the meter to my house mine?
Yes, in almost every case the service line from the meter to the building is the property owner’s responsibility, and the utility owns the meter and the main. We confirm which side the leak is on before anyone starts digging.
My whole house lost pressure. Is that the line?
Often, especially with an older galvanized service line that has narrowed with scale. We take readings at the meter and inside so we can tell the difference between a supply problem and a line problem.
Can you replace the line without tearing up the driveway?
Usually yes. Boring lets us pull a new line under a drive or a patio, and rerouting can go around an obstacle entirely. We price that against open excavation so you can choose.
Why is my water bill high with no leak inside?
A buried service line leak or an irrigation break will do it, and neither shows up indoors. Shut everything off and watch the meter: if it is still moving, the water is going somewhere underground.
Assurance Plan members go first.
Annual water heater flush, priority scheduling, and two inspections a year.
