"Western Rooter to the rescue again! I had a small underground leak which appeared to be due to a bad sprinkler valve. A sprinkler repair company determined that it was not a bad sprinkler valve and thought it was due to a leak in the main water line. Daniel and Alex dug down to find that the leak was coming from a very old (at least 36 years) broken pvc line. After much testing and head scratching to try to figure out where the water was coming from, they decided to "chase the pipe." After much digging, they found that the very old broken pvc pipe was hooked up to a sprinkler valve that was buried 18 inches underground that had not been capped--only turned off. Roots from a nearby tree had opened the valve which caused the leak--crazy! The current sprinkler system has been the same one since we moved into the house in 1988. It took 36 years for the underground leak to occur!"

"We had an emergency. Juan called us just a few minutes after we received his information online and Giovani showed up in 20 minutes. They assessed the damage and gave us options to either repair or replace the unit. After discussions on either side we chose to hire them to replace it like for like. All in all the twh was installed that day so we could have water and completed the next day. Awesome work."

"Based purely on these reviews, GMC was the first and only company I called to install a recirculating tankless water heater. I found Geremi to be extremely reliable, and an excellent communicator via text or whatever. He told me in advance when he would arrive, which he confirmed often, he DID show up on time, the job site was clean and the installation was well done. I asked Geremi to come back to our house a few days later to make some minor adjustments to the system. He did so without hesitation and without any additional charges. I have nothing but positive comments for GMC plumbing."

"Armando and his team were great, I was looking for someone to help diagnose a problem with my refrigerator and they contacted me and came to my house the same day to fix the problem. Armando also worked with me to offer the service at a reasonable price which was much appreciated. I will definitely look to Fix It Quick for any other plumbing needs I have in the future, and would recommend them to anyone else looking for this service."

"I had a massive root intrusion in my main line causing stoppages, saw their reviews and how trust worthy they are and gave them a shot. Greg came with his camera and inspected my main line and saw the problem almost immediately. I didn?t feel pressured into getting it done, he gave me options and asked which one I would want to move forward with. I chose the section repair. The pricing was very fair and the work was done very professionally. For sure my plumbers from now on, and I would highly recommend to anyone in need of a plumber!!!!"

"I contacted California Drains because my parent's home was completely backed up to the point where dirty water was coming out from the drains inside and outside their home. They promptly answered and booked me in the same day. They were able to contain the water from continuing to come out of the drains overnight and returned the next day first thing in the morning to get the problem fixed. Price was very reasonable, and the workers were very professional. Left everything clean and drains were completely cleared. It has been months since they came and there has not been an issue since. 10/10 will highly recommend to family and friends."

FAQs for water main install, replace or repair projects in Sylmar, CA

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.
