WATER MAIN REPAIR FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

The most frequently asked questions about water main repairs from our customers in Victoria. 

The simplest way to determine this is to turn off your home’s main water valve and then check to see if the city meter’s dial is still spinning. If it is, your main water line is leaking. 

Other signs of a water main leak include unexplained wet patches in your yard, a sudden drop in water pressure, higher-than-usual water bills, or the sound of running water when all fixtures are off. 

Common causes include age-related corrosion, freezing and thawing cycles, shifting soil, excessive water pressure, or intruding tree roots. Older homes with galvanized steel or poly-b pipes are especially prone to failure.

We recommend you react quickly, as it may be causing damage to your home or home foundation. If left leaking, you may receive a water bill from the city that is quadruple the amount you’re used to. 

Some digging is usually necessary to access the damaged pipe. Our team takes care to minimize disruption and will restore affected areas to the best possible condition after the repair.

The average repair time can range from a few hours to a few days, depending on the pipe’s depth, location, and the extent of the damage. In some complex cases, it may take up to a week.
