Fresno County · Repair
Targeted excavation, trenchless pipe pulling, or full replacement of a confirmed main line leak.
Brendan P., a Bullard, Fresno homeowner, had been living with a soft, spongy patch in the side yard that stayed wet for weeks before calling us. Because many Fresno properties have both a main water line and a separate irrigation system, confirming exactly which line is affected keeps repair work targeted to the right pipe instead of the wrong one. The water bill stopped climbing the same week the leak was found and fixed.

Because many Fresno properties have both a main water line and a separate irrigation system, confirming exactly which line is affected keeps repair work targeted to the right pipe instead of the wrong one.
Water service in Fresno is provided by the City of Fresno Department of Public Utilities, and confirming whether an issue is on your private plumbing or the utility side of the meter is one of the first things we check.
Once a main line or irrigation leak is pinpointed underground, repair options range from a small, targeted excavation at the exact marked point to a full trenchless replacement pulled through the original line's path. The right call depends on the pipe's age and material, how many leaks that line has already had, and the terrain between the meter and the house.
Because the leak's location is already confirmed by acoustic or tracer-gas testing, excavation is targeted rather than exploratory, which keeps yard and hardscape disruption to the minimum needed for the chosen repair method.
A single confirmed leak point on newer pipe often only needs a small, targeted excavationOlder galvanized or aging polybutylene main lines with repeat leaks are usually better served by full replacementTrenchless pipe pulling can replace a full line's length through two small access pits instead of a continuous trenchIrrigation line leaks are typically isolated and repaired separately from the home's main service lineLandscaping, hardscape, or driveway obstacles affect whether trenchless or open-trench repair makes more senseWater pressure and flow are tested after the repair to confirm full restorationFrom Tower District, Woodward Park, Fig Garden to Sunnyside, Bullard, Old Fig Garden, we handle main water line repair & replacement calls across Fresno, matching the approach to each property's age, soil, and layout.

“Our irrigation system was losing water and we assumed it was just old sprinkler heads. Turned out to be a leak in the underground line itself. Glad we called before digging up the whole yard ourselves.”
“Hard water here does a number on pipes. They found a pinhole leak in a joint I never would've guessed. Quick, respectful of the property, and didn't leave a mess.”
“The floor in our hallway had a warm spot for weeks. They found the slab leak in under an hour with the listening equipment and marked a tiny area instead of tearing up the whole hallway. Huge relief.”
“Our water bill jumped for two months straight and we couldn't find why. Turned out it was a slow leak behind the water heater. Professional, on time, and explained everything on the spot.”
“Salt air had corroded a fitting outside near the meter box. They traced it with the acoustic equipment without digging up my whole side yard first. Appreciated the straightforward report.”
