TRENCHLESS
Trenchless water line repair in Roswell
Trenchless water line repair in Roswell and North Metro Atlanta. A failed supply line used to mean a trench across the yard. Where the pipe is suitable, we bore or pull a new line through small access pits instead. Tell us what changed: the bill, the pressure, a wet spot. We find the leak first, then price the job before we dig. Call 770-597-4141.
Signs you need trenchless water line repair
- Your water bill went up and nothing in the house changed.
- A wet patch in the yard that does not dry between rains.
- Pressure dropped at every tap, not just one.
- The meter turns with every fixture off, so call before you dig.
How we diagnose it
- 1We confirm it is the supply lineA high bill or a wet yard has other causes. Leak detection and a pressure check on the supply system tell us whether the buried line is the problem.
- 2We walk the routeMeter to house: driveway, trees, other utilities, and where the line enters. The route decides whether boring, bursting or a short dig is the honest answer.
- 3You get the scope in writingAccess points, the pipe material, testing after the new line is in, and what we restore afterwards. Approve that before anyone picks up a shovel.
Your likely options
- Method
Directional boring
What it doesA bore head pulls a new supply line along a fresh path underground, from a pit at the meter to a pit at the house.
When it applies- a full replacement when the old pipe is past saving.
- Method
Pipe bursting
What it doesThe new line follows the old one. A bursting head breaks the old pipe outward while the new pipe comes in behind it.
When it applies- replacement along the existing route, where the pipe is suitable.
- Method
Spot repair with a short dig
What it doesOne failed section, one hole. If the rest of the line is sound, a short open repair costs less than a new line.
When it applies- a single leak in a line with no history of repairs.
What it costs
A visit to look at the problem. We tell you on the phone, before we schedule, whether that visit has a charge and what it is.
- Length of the run from meter to house.
- Boring a new path versus bursting the old one.
- Driveway, roots and utilities along the route, and restoration after.
A written scope and price for the repair, before we start. No work beyond that scope without your OK.

Trenchless water line repair questions
Is a trenchless water line the same job as a trenchless sewer line?
No. The supply line carries drinking water under pressure; the sewer carries waste by gravity. Different pipe, different test, different method. A sewer lining quote tells you nothing about your water line.
Does low pressure mean I need a new water line?
Not on its own. A failed pressure reducing valve, a closed valve or a leak inside the house drops pressure too. We test the supply system before anyone talks about replacement.
Will my yard look the same afterwards?
Two pits need filling and the grass needs time. What we restore is listed in the scope, so you know before we start, not after.
Do you charge to come out and look?
We tell you on the phone, before we schedule, whether the visit has a charge and what it is.
How soon can you come?
Call and we tell you straight; it depends on the day. For an active leak or backup, call rather than sending the form.
