"From the first call to Atomic, the level of professionalism was much different (in a good way!). They gathered a good amount of information from us and stated they would have a truck come out in a few hours. The plumber (Ryan) called notifying us when he would arrive (early in the scheduled window). He quickly assessed the situation and provided us with a couple of options. He stated that it is best practice to replace the pressure tank and they automatically include that in the price as they are about $40. Without prompting, he also measured the shelving and stated they would not need to cut any shelving for the installation. We opted for the new water heater vs. a temporary repair. He quickly got on the phone and stated another truck will be delivering the water heater within 30-45 minutes. During that time, he let us know how long we would be without water and the process he would be following to remove the old water heater. He worked that entire time and was ready to go when the second truck arrived (great way to reduce the repair time!). They removed the old unit and installed the new unit. They provided us with instructions on ongoing maintenance and provided a great overview of the system. While they were slightly higher than Home Depot, the level of professionalism, quality of work, and warranty is much better than that offered by Home Depot. I'm glad we found an honest and quality plumbing company!"

"Five plumbing companies provided quotes to replace the main sewer line and install an in-ground clean out at my house. Mr. Rooter's quote was not the least expensive but it was the most reasonable and professional. Every person I dealt with was consultative, courteous and good at what they do. The work started on time and finished in about 4 hours. The only surprise was a good one: the technician discovered a second clean-out needed to be installed at the street end and did that at no additional cost, a good job done right. Everything cleaned-up neatIy afterward including the street. I watched the excavator operator do his thing and was impressed to see surgical precision achieved with heavy equipment and a joystick - from digging the trench in a narrow section next to the house, to filling it back in and then grading it perfectly (it rained heavily about an hour after work finished and all the runoff flowed exactly where it's supposed to go). One week, 14 long showers, 10 giant loads of laundry and countless toilet flushes later, the outflow is working better than it ever did before. Happy to recommend Mr. Rooter Plumbing without hesitation."

"I can't say enough good things about Joe (#2181), the technician who came to our house, but I'll start with friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Before I called Roto-Rooter, I received a couple of other estimates from companies that inaccurately diagnosed the problem. Sewage was backing up into a first-floor shower, and I assumed that bathroom's sewer line needed to be snaked. The other companies said that must be the problem. But Joe determined that the blockage was a long-time buildup of sludge in the main sewer line. The other companies said they would have charged me much more than I paid -- between $500 and $600 -- and I now know their efforts wouldn't have solved the problem."

FAQs for water main install, replace or repair projects in Virginia Beach, 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.
