Water Line Repair Near Brea, California
Stop hidden leaks, restore pressure, and protect your home.
Whether it’s a slab leak under the floor, a pinhole in a wall, or a failing yard service line, we locate the problem, explain options, and make a durable, code-compliant repair.
Where Water Line Leaks Happen
- Main service line (meter to house) — aging galvanized, brittle PVC, or root damage
- Under-slab hot/cold lines — corrosion/pinhole leaks causing warm floor spots
- In-wall supplies to kitchens, baths, laundry, and water heaters
- At fixtures/valves — angle stops, supply hoses, and water heater connections
Signs You Need Professional Water Line Repair
- Spike in water bill or meter moves when all fixtures are off
- Warm/damp floors, musty odors, or bubbling paint/drywall
- Hissing in walls, constant sound of running water
- Low pressure at multiple fixtures
- Soggy/greener lawn patches or puddles near the service route
Our Leak Detection & Repair Process
- Confirm a live leak (meter/pressure tests)
- Isolate the zone (fixtures, hot vs. cold, interior vs. exterior)
- Pinpoint with acoustic listening, thermal imaging, and moisture mapping
- Explain options with clear pricing (spot repair, reroute, or replacement)
- Repair/Replace to code, then pressure test and clean up
- Advise on pressure regulation and prevention
You’ll know what failed, where it was, and why our fix will last.
Add-Ons That Protect Your Plumbing
- PRV (pressure reducing valve) to keep pressure in a safe range
- New main shutoff ball valve for quick future isolation
- Thermal expansion tank (when required with PRV/backflow)
- Smart leak detectors and shutoff valves for high-risk areas
Prevent Future Leaks
- Keep house pressure between ~55–75 psi (add/adjust PRV as needed)
- Replace old angle stops and supply lines proactively
- Flush sediment at the water heater annually
- Schedule annual plumbing inspections to catch issues early
Water Line Repair Methods We Offer
Targeted Spot Repair
Open the exact location and replace the damaged section. Fastest when access is simple and pipe condition is otherwise good.
Reroute (Bypass the Leak)
Run new PEX or copper overhead/in-wall to bypass a slab or inaccessible section. Often smarter than breaking more slab.
Main Service Line Replacement
Install a new copper Type L, PEX-A, or HDPE service from meter to home. Options for directional boring/trenchless pulls to limit yard disruption.
Partial/Whole-Home Repipe
If pinholes are recurring or pipe is at end of life (old galvanized/corroded copper), we’ll price a PEX or copper repipe to end the cycle of leaks.
When Replacement Is Smarter Than Repair
- Multiple leaks or widespread pinhole corrosion
- Old galvanized or mixed, patched lines with poor flow
- PVC service with root damage or frequent breaks
- House pressure is high and there’s no PRV (pressure reducing valve)
We’ll price repair vs. replace so you can choose with confidence.

Water Line Repair FAQs
How do I know if it’s a slab leak?
Common clues are warm floor spots, a running-water sound, or a bill spike with no visible leak. We confirm with meter/pressure and pinpoint with acoustic/thermal tools.
Will you have to open my floors or walls?
Only if necessary. When opening is intrusive or the pipe is fragile, a reroute (new line through walls/attic) is often the better fix.
Do you handle permits and inspections?
Yes — where required. We install to California plumbing code and coordinate any inspections.
Can you replace the whole service line without trenching my yard?
In many cases yes. We can directional bore or pull a new HDPE/PEX/copper line with minimal disturbance.
How long will my water be off?
Most spot repairs and reroutes are same-day; service replacements vary by length/access. We’ll outline timing before work begins.
What pipe materials do you use?
Commonly PEX-A or copper Type L inside the home; copper, PEX-A, or HDPE for the main service, chosen for soil, distance, and code.
