How to Recognize When Your Main Water Line Needs Repair
Signs of a leaking water main can range from obvious to subtle. Here are some indicators to watch for:
- Increased water bill: An unexplained spike in your monthly water bill is often one of the biggest indicators of an underground leak.
- Puddles or soggy areas on your property: Significant leaks in the water line can cause pooling in your yard or garden. If you notice unusually damp areas without an obvious cause, it’s time to contact a plumber.
- Potentially reduced water pressure: A sudden drop in water pressure throughout the home (rather than just one faucet) may signal a water main issue, though municipal factors could also be involved. If in doubt, it’s best to call in professionals.
While Plumbing Express offer both spot repairs and trenchless main line replacement, a full water line replacement is sometimes needed due to deterioration. We highly recommend installing a new main water line when this happens. Although it’s a significant job, our skilled plumbers are fully equipped to handle it and we offer competitive pricing for trenchless water line repair, replacement or installation.
Call us at (678) 439-9540 for professional main water line repair & replacement services you can count on. One of our friendly plumbers will be glad repair or replace your main water line.

Frequently Asked Questions
Plumbing related leaks are more serious than you realize. They’re expensive, bad for the environment and they are everywhere!
Did you know Atlanta has the second-highest water rates in the country? There are two reasons for this: many pipes are almost 100 years old and more than 10 billion gallons of water are wasted each year. (1)
20% to 35% of all residential homes have water leaks related to toilets. Toilets are often undetected because they are a silent source of water loss. (2)
If a toilet can leak as much as 300 gallons a day, imagine how much a water main line leak will waste. A typical home will leak as much as 2,000 to 20,000 gallons of water a year. (3)
Depending on which Georgia County you live in, you are impacting specific limited resources.
If you live in Gwinnett County, then your water is coming from Sidney Lanier Lake.
North Fulton County, South Fulton County and Dekalb County are using the water from the Chattahoochee River.
These two natural resources are managed with the coordinated efforts of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), the Atlanta Regional Commission and the Department of Natural Resources.(4)
It’s important to your personal budget, community, and your local natural resources that water leaks are detected and repaired.
Please don’t disregard potential signs of a water leak!
Usually, when you search Google for “water main line”, it’s because a public water service line has broken and disrupted traffic. While gushing water flooding the street is an obvious sign of a problem, a broken home water line is less obvious.
You might notice a change in your water bill, but you don’t want to wait for that bill! You can contest the increased water bill cost, but that’s more stress.
There are two main options for detecting leaks in your water main:
- Have someone else do it…
- You can do it yourself.
Option 1
Plumbing Express is the reliable plumbing company serving Atlanta, Georgia. We offer competitive pricing for trenchless water line repair, replacement or installation. Whether you need a new water line for your garden, barn or house, we will give you great value at a fair price. Plumbing Express offers a free inspection.
Option 2
We recommend reading the four steps for detecting water leaks that are listed, on Gwinnett County’s website for water services education. You can view those steps by clicking here.
If you prefer video, Alliance for Water Efficiency, has one you can view by clicking here.
In most cases, leaks between the meter and the house are the responsibility of the homeowner.
This can be complicated by whether the water meter is on the public right-of-way side of the property line or not.
That’s why it’s important to contact the utilities company for your municipality to confirm the location and responsibility of the water lines, water meter and right-of-way property lines.

No matter how talented a DIY-er you are, there are several reasons you do not want to do a water main line repair yourself.
- Federal, State and Local Laws
- Permits
- Fees
- Water Contamination
- Damaging public water service lines
You could contaminate and pollute the water you and your neighbors consume.
Don’t believe us? Here’s what the Alliance for Water Efficiency has to say on the matter:
“The water utility should be contacted before any attempt to repair the water supply pipe. If the utility deems the leak to be the responsibility of the homeowner, a professional plumber should perform all repair work. This repair should never be attempted by a homeowner.” (5)
The average cost of a water main repair in Atlanta:
- Low: $650
- Average: $850
- High: $1,000
The average cost of a water main replacement in Atlanta:
- Low: $2,200
- Average: $3,400
- High: $4,000
You can cross reference the above prices from a non-bias 3rd party source at Home Guide’s plumbing estimates.
Regardless if you do the repair yourself or hire a professional plumber, the prices will fluctuate based on the following:
- Location of the leak
- The harder to access, then the higher the price
- Depth of pipe
- Obstructions to pipe
- Length of the pipe
- More material means more cost
- Trenchless repair is cheaper
- Digging is more expensive
- If the pipe is long, then digging is required
- Local Permit fees
- Application fee
- Inspection fee
- Re-inspection fees
- Percentage of total construction cost
- Violation fee (DIYs take note)
- Labor / Time

Daniel was first rate. Knowledgeable and courteous, he address all our concerns expertly. We were delighted that he able to replace our tankless water heater the same day, and it has been working great ever since.
Would definitely recommend a Plumbing Express! About a month ago, we had an issue with leaks and ended up needing a full home repipe. Ed was our first point of contact and was wonderful at explaining everything to us. He was very thorough and helpful, which made a stressful situation feel more manageable. Communication was consistent throughout the entire process, which we really appreciated. A couple of days later, the work began and we met Jose and his team for the repipe. Everyone was great and worked diligently from early morning to late evening, completing everything in just one day. The next day, Kenny and his brother came in to handle the drywall, and they did an amazing job. With all the holes that had been made during the repiping, you truly couldn’t tell where anything had been opened up. This was a 2 day process. Ivan was also a pleasure to work with and helped us with any questions and payments along the way. Pricing was fair for the amount of work done, especially considering how quickly and efficiently everything was completed. Overall, this process was overwhelming for us, but the entire Plumbing Express team made it so much easier to get through.
Our house is less than six years old, so a total house re-pipe was about the farthest thing from our minds. But a hot water PEX pipe failed under the slab in our bathroom in an area that would require the shower area and some of the bathroom to be destroyed in order to get to and fix the leak. Obviously not a good situation and in the final analysis, a total re-pipe of the house would cost less and then we wouldn't be wondering if/when another under-slab leak would occur. We end up selecting Plumbing Express to do our large job. They have a team that does nothing but repiping ... including the initial assessment, all the plumbing, and then all of the drywall repair. And they do the whole thing really well. Everyone (and I mean everyone) at Plumbing Express that we interacted with during this extensive project was great. Ty handled our first phone call and was helpful. Ed came to do the initial assessment and also helped later on in the process. He has extensive experience and has a great way of relating that background to your situation. Ivan was the project manger and he was always very responsive and helpful. Lucio (the lead plumber), Hose', Ben, and Rad were the four plumbers that did the plumbing work. They were experienced, respectful, pleasant, and clearly liked working together. Lucio even found a way to get repiped hot and cold water to our kitchen island without having to jackhammer the floor and slab. Kenny and his crew did the drywall repair (and there was a bunch of it to do) and painting. Ed and Ivan told us that after Kenny was done, we wouldn't know that the plumbers had even been here. We were very skeptical. Holes were everywhere in walls and ceilings. But Kenny and his crew did a fantastic job with all of the repairs and it all looks as good as before the project began. It is impressive how well they employed their skills. We had (and still have) a tankless water heater with a recirculating pump and system. Prior to the repipe, some of our outlets had hot water faster than afterward. That is a function of the fact that the piping under the slab could be more direct to areas than the repipe that had to go overhead and through the walls. To a certain degree, that is just the way it is. But Ed and Ivan went the extra mile to help mitigate that situation in one area by working with us on installing an under-sink small water heater in the kitchen. That helped tremendously for that area. Facing this major plumbing situation, especially in a relatively new house, obviously isn't fun in any way. But these guys made the whole process as seamless and pleasant as possible for us. They truly are professional, helpful, friendly, and skillful. Regardless of how old your house is, if you need to have a repiping job done, this is the team you want!
Dylan arrived on time and was polite. He repaired a burst pipe to exterior faucet and did a great job. He also cleared a bathroom drain, advised we not use drain cleaners and showed us the gadget he uses. We will definitely call on Plumbing Express again.
Plumbing Express had some sound advice and good recommendations for the situation that I was in. The technician was helpful and very understanding.
Replacement of garbage disposal done quickly and cleanly by Tim. On time, too. Wonderful experience!
I had a great experience with plumbing express. JOSH arrived early, listened to the problem I was having and provided excellent solutions. He definitely went above and beyond to make sure I was completely satisfied.
Josh was very knowledgeable and helpful with the repair, installation and setting up the Moen Flo app.
Just purchased a home that had polybutylene pipes throughout. Searched online to find a company who specialized in repiping. Came across Plumbing Express. Read the reviews and comparison shopped as any good consumer should. Plumbing Express stood out above the rest by far. Blake provide information and proof to back his product. The installers arrived BEFORE their appointment, took excellent care of my home, and the drywall repair was perfection. I am extremely pleased with my choice. You can't go wrong with Plumbing Express. Update 3/20/26 I have found my forever plumber. I had Plumbing Express repipe my home a few years ago. I recently reached out; because, I thought I had a plumbing issue developing. Fortunately, I did not. The service technician Dylan was outstanding. He calmed my and my husband concerns and provided a plethora of information. I no longer have to worry about finding a good plumber. Dylan will be my go to plumber every time.
I had a great experience with my plumber Tim Robinson today. He was fast and very knowledgeable. I will definitely recommend him to others.
These guys sure know what they are doing. Besides that they where efficient, friendly, and quick
Had a great experience with Dylan from Plumbing Express! Scheduling was a breeze, he showed up on time, and his knowledge was impressive — he addressed all of our concerns without hesitation. The repair price was very competitive, and he even threw in an extra service at no additional charge. Will definitely be calling Plumbing Express again!
Rod was friendly and knowledgeable. He was very professional and efficient. He provided me with repair options with pricing.
Rod did an awesome jobinstalling my tankless water heater!! His attention to detail during the installation and clean up was top tier!!! I am very impressed with the service and product.
Dylan provided excellent service from start to finish. I would definitely recommend Dylan for anybody that values and appreciates receiving top-notch service.
Rod Anderson did an excellent job of removing pipes and closing off water access to my former master bathroom. It's now ready to be converted to a master walk-in closet. He did three different jobs in a timely manner. He's also a very nice and pleasant person. I will request him to come for my future plumbing projects.
We had Tim Robinson come to our laundromat to fix an issue what was causing a back up when our white top loaders where running. We had another company out before them that couldn't do the descaling and stated we needed to tear up the new floor we just did so they could do a camera inspection that maybe there was an issue with the pipe. Tim came right in and did the camera inspection and was able to do the descaling, the pipe was clogged causing the issue. We had a busy weekend with the washers and no issues at all. Splish Splash Laundromat is so glad we went with Plumbing Express.
Daniel was wonderful and we are happy with the work he did replacing our disposal. We would recommend.
Tim was amazing with a problem that we thought was bigger than it was. Friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Will highly recommend you reach out for honest and fast service!
Tim Robinson was very thorough and professional. He provided me with information on the process for repairs, estimates, and options for slab leak.
Josh was professional, honest and personable. He diagnosed the problem and even after I had signed a more expensive estimate, when he found the problem could be solved for less he let me know. Fast, efficient, and extremely knowledgeable. Highly recommended.
2nd time using their services and they didn’t disappoint. Very professional and friendly
I woke up to no hot water Sunday morning! I called Plumbing Express and they were able to schedule me for first call Monday. Josh arrived and surveyed the situation. He advised me that the T &P line had not been attached by the person who originally installed this in 2022! Josh attached the T & P, drained the water heater and set up the app on my phone for this water heater. Because I had the app, I got an email Tuesday morning with a water sensor alarm - I called Plumbing Express & Josh came back out to check it out. Gratefully it turned out to be the residual water that drained out of his hose when he disconnected it from draining. I highly recommend Josh and the Plumbing Express team!
As we expected Dylan did a fantastic job!! Dylan kept us informed along the maintenance and repair. Answered all questions we had before we even asked. Outstanding service , we were so very pleased. Dylan is a top notch professional ❤️❤️☀️☀️☀️☀️

Extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. The team was excellent. The job was completed in 1 day with a great team. Very expressive.
2 other companies and plumbers couldn’t fix the issue but Dylan was able to identify and fix the issue in one afternoon.
Tim Robinson and his crew did an awesome job on my plumbing issues. Quickly diagnose my problem, gave an estimate for the repair in a timely fashion No surprises. I don’t normally like recommending contractors electricians plumbers, but Plumbing Express is top-notch on my list. They were very good about notifying me with updates when the crew was on the way and worked me in on an earlier date, then was originally scheduled for. Thank you, Plumbing Express! Keeping you in my contacts.
Rod was professional and courteous. Provided insight and detailed quotes regarding my issue. Highly recommend
I had a whole home repipe on my home. It was built in the 70s and the copper pipes were constantly springing leaks so it needed to be done. They quoted me a competitive price for the job, but the best part was the followup and communication with the team along the way to ensure my specifications were met and I was completely satisfied with my water system. Ed Torres the plumber along with Ivan the scheduler, and really the whe team that completed the work and the drywallers, couldn't recommend them enough.
