"The only good thing American Home Shield has ever done for me and my family is introduce us to Lockhart Plumbing & Remodeling. We put in an issue for a leak with AHS and of course it wasn’t covered, but that wasn’t the plumber’s fault. Billy came out, explained what would need to be done and left, only to come back the next day and fix everything according to my scheduling constraints. He answered all of my questions, explained why the warranty company wouldn’t cover it (AHS is a scam and a waste of money and time. They have never fixed anything for us). He looked at a couple other things to give advice and quotes on, and was so personable and professional, I was completely comfortable having him in my house. He never complained that my issue was more difficult than he was expecting, he made a few jokes, kept in contact with both me and my husband every step of the way, and offered a very generous price. If I have any plumbing issues in the future, Billy will be my first call!"

"We had a major water leak in the main water pipe leading to the house leaking 100 gal of water/hour. I called several companies including those we currently deal with. When Geary the lead team from The Water Line Group answered my call, I immediately felt he is knowledgeable & at felt at ease with him & he knew exactly what I was talking about. He showed up the very same day and provided us with an estimate and the work to be done. I did some research, and we hired them. They showed up On Time and started work. They had their own equipment (vs renting equipment) & the team consisted of 5 workers. No time wasting, straight to work. They did exactly what Geary told me they will do. They stayed until nighttime to finish the job in one day. Very professional, experienced & more importantly clean & professional work. Passed inspection 1st time. I did not have to clean up or do anything. They tested the sprinkler system & showed me that all is good. And their price was better than the rest "

At American Plumbing, Inc., we take great pride in our experience, expertise, quality, and customer service that we provide to meet the consumer needs. It is our mission to provide excellent workmanship and complete customer satisfaction, from the start to the completion of a project. In order to understand the needs and expectations of our customers, we take great care to work and communicate with every customer in a professional manner. Our reputation is based on service, safety, and quality, regardless of how large or small the job.

"From start to finish American Plumbing Inc. (API), Dan the owner and his crew Dave, Frankie and Eder, provided impeccable service. Out of 4 proposals, ranging from Class A to Class C contractors, API delivered what a Class A or Class B could not. The human connection. For me I see this as a job interview when people come to do their estimates. And Dan left a good impression as someone I can work with. He was very responsive, respectful, considerate and he listened. My instincts served me well. It took only 3.5 hours to finish the job installing a one piece new k-copper water pipe from the house to the curb including installing new 2 shut-off valves and 1 PRV, patching the cement, backfill, re-laying the sod and clean up. Thank you Dan, Dave, Frankie and Eder! You all made the difference making a hard task look easy. The seeds you planted in our 47 year old neighborhood will bear fruit. Oh, without being asked, Dan extended us a senior discount and that speaks volumes."

"The tech was ok and corrected the problem. But this company for this service was in my opinion highly over priced. One of my GFI had tripped which left me with no power to 2 outlets. Problem was found in less than 15 minutes and for that I was charged $149. Which I found to be outrageous. Will not be using them again"

They scheduled the work promptly and showed up on time. Unexpected issues were discovered that required a second trip and additional work. They communicated everything clearly and the additional costs were handled separately and transparently. They also cleaned up after the work was done. I would hire them again."

FAQs for water main install, replace or repair projects in Richmond, VA

If you notice puddles or standing water in your yard, a sudden drop in water pressure, cracks forming in your foundation, frequent clogs in your plumbing fixtures, or water that looks or smells unusual, you might have a leak in your main water line. These signs mean it's time to call a professional to evaluate the issue and prevent further damage.

A professional water main inspection is a comprehensive evaluation performed by a licensed plumber who checks every section of your plumbing system. The inspection costs $165 and uses advanced diagnostic techniques to identify hidden leaks or wear. This service clarifies the exact condition of your water main, enabling precise repairs that prevent future damage and ensure the overall health of your plumbing system.

Protect your water main by scheduling a cleaning and inspection every two to five years. The average cost of a sewer line cleaning is $400. It’s also important to never dig in your yard without first calling the dig line (811) to ensure you don't accidentally hit the water or sewer lines. Watch for soil erosion, low water pressure, or wet spots in your yard, and take immediate action if you suspect a leak. Remember, the longer you leave it, the worse the problem gets and the more costly it is to fix.

When properly maintained, your water main is engineered to remain functional for 50 years or longer. A durable water service in excellent condition should consistently perform without major issues for half a century. In contrast, metal pipes exposed to acidic soil corrode faster, whereas modern plastic pipes resist corrosion and function for decades beyond metal alternatives. Regular maintenance and inspections are essential for confirming your system’s longevity.

No, homeowners insurance does not cover the cost to repair a water main. Insurers fund only sudden, unforeseen events like a burst pipe and exclude gradual issues or normal wear and tear. Damage resulting from leaks, such as mold remediation or property claims, is not covered. It is essential to contact your insurance provider immediately to confirm your policy’s details and any potential adjustments needed.
