Main Water Line Repair
Emergency repair of broken or leaking main water lines.
A broken main water line cuts off water to your entire home. We locate the break, excavate, and repair quickly to restore your supply.
Main water line repair, replacement, and upgrades. Restore your water supply and improve pressure.
Your main water line is the single pipe connecting your home to the municipal supply. Many Central Okanagan homes still have original 40-60 year old copper or galvanised — well past their service life.

A broken main water line cuts off water to your entire home. We locate the break, excavate, and repair quickly to restore your supply.
Full replacement of old, corroded, or undersized water lines.
Old galvanized or lead water lines need replacement. We upgrade to copper or PEX for better flow, pressure, and water quality.
Upgrade from 3/4" to 1" water service for better pressure.
Low pressure? An undersized service line may be the cause. We upgrade your water service for improved flow throughout your home.
Find and repair leaks in underground and indoor water supply lines.
Underground leaks waste water and damage foundations. We use detection equipment to find leaks with minimal excavation.
Water line damage rarely announces itself loudly. Know the warning signs so you can act before a slow leak becomes a full break or a flooded foundation.
Shower trickle without changes to fixtures.
Pressure drops throughout the whole house point at the supply line rather than an individual fitting or faucet.
Brown or reddish water from multiple taps.
Red flag for corroding galvanised or aging copper. Heavily corroded pipes are close to failure.
Soggy patches, lush green strips, sinkholes.
Classic signs of an underground water line leak. In Kelowna's dry climate, a green patch when everything else is dry is almost always a leak.
Bill spikes for no apparent reason.
Even a slow continuous drip from a pressurised main wastes tens of thousands of litres per month.
New cracks in basement walls.
A leaking water line saturates soil and creates hydrostatic pressure against concrete walls. Inspect water lines before foundation repair.
Hearing water with all fixtures off.
Serious warning sign — water escaping under pressure. Shut off your main and call us immediately.
