| I just got off the phone with Todd. I’m in need of some plumbing services but unfortunately I’m out of their service area. However, without getting into the details of the call, he was amazing. Not only did he answer every question but he was thorough and elaborated on a couple of different scenarios which to someone with no experience, is extremely valuable. He didn’t have to do any of this; I appreciate it and i believe it shows a lot about their character and mission. Give them a call and see for yourself. |

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a typical water line repair take?
Most residential water line repairs in Clovis can be completed within a single day. While the preparation and permitting take time, the actual time your water is turned off is usually limited to a few hours. Trenchless methods further speed up the process by reducing the amount of excavation and yard restoration required.
What are the signs of a broken water line?
Common indicators include a sudden, significant increase in your water bill, damp or unusually green patches in your yard, and a noticeable drop in water pressure. You might also hear the sound of running water when all faucets are turned off. In some cases, older pipes may cause water discoloration or a persistent sandy grit in your fixtures.
Do I need a permit for water line repair in Clovis?
Yes, the City of Clovis requires permits for main water line repairs and replacements to ensure the work meets safety and health codes. A professional contractor handles the permit application and coordinates the necessary inspections with the city building department, ensuring the project is legally documented and up to standard for future home sales.
Will my landscaping be destroyed during repair?
Not necessarily. By utilizing trenchless technology, such as pipe bursting or directional drilling, we can often replace an entire line with minimal impact on your lawn, trees, or driveway. We prioritize methods that protect your property’s curb appeal while still ensuring a high-quality, long-lasting repair to your home’s main water supply.
