Water Line Services

Got a Water Line Problem in Your Atlanta Metro Home?

Is your water pressure suddenly weak throughout the house, are you noticing perpetually soggy spots in your yard, or has your water bill spiked for no good reason? These are classic signs of a problem with your main water line, an issue that can cause serious, expensive damage if it's ignored. Head's Plumbing Sales and Service, Inc. is ready to diagnose and solve these exact problems for homeowners across the Atlanta Metro.

Water Line Repair & Service

When your water line acts up, it’s rarely subtle, and a fast, accurate repair is key to preventing bigger problems. We get these calls every day from all over the Atlanta area—it could be corrosion in old galvanized pipes common in homes built in the 70s, or invasive tree roots in established neighborhoods that have finally crushed a line. Even the shifting red clay soil our region is known for can cause pipes to flex, crack, and eventually leak over time.

Diagnosing the issue correctly is the most important step. A less experienced plumber might just start digging, but we use a methodical approach. We start with pressure testing to confirm a leak exists and then use modern acoustic leak detection equipment to pinpoint its exact location underground. This saves your yard from unnecessary damage. Once we find it, the fix could be a simple spot repair on a copper line or a larger section replacement using durable PEX piping. A small, early repair is manageable; ignoring it can lead to a full-blown Water Line Emergency Repair, property damage, and a much bigger bill.

Common signs of a water line leak: * A sudden, significant drop in water pressure * Discolored, rusty, or cloudy water from your faucets * Unexplained wet patches or unusually green grass on your lawn * Hissing or gurgling sounds coming from walls or floors * A sudden, unexplained increase in your water bill

For professional diagnostics and lasting fixes, our Water Line Repair & Service team is on call throughout the Atlanta Metro.

Water Line Installation & Replacement

Sometimes, a repair is just a band-aid on a bigger problem, and a full water line replacement is the only smart long-term solution. This is especially true for homes with outdated materials like galvanized steel or the notoriously failure-prone polybutylene piping. If you're dealing with constant low pressure, recurring leaks, or discolored water even after multiple repairs, it’s a strong sign your entire line is compromised and past its service life.

When we tackle a full replacement, we’re not just swapping pipes; we’re installing a new system designed to last for decades in Atlanta’s specific conditions. We’ll assess your property, noting soil type and the location of large trees, to plan the least disruptive installation path.

Materials We Trust

We primarily use modern materials that stand up to our local environment. * PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene): This flexible polymer piping is incredibly durable, resistant to corrosion and scale buildup, and can expand slightly, which helps it resist bursting in freezing temperatures. Its flexibility also allows for less invasive installation techniques. * Copper: The long-time industry standard, copper is extremely durable and naturally resists bacterial growth. While more rigid than PEX, it provides a very long service life when installed correctly.

A new water line is a significant investment in your home’s infrastructure. We make sure it's done right, protecting your property and providing you with a reliable water supply for years to come. A proper installation is the first step, followed by an optional Water Line Maintenance & Tune-Up plan to keep it in top shape.

Water Line Maintenance & Tune-Up

Proactive maintenance is the best way to avoid a catastrophic and costly water line failure. While your main water line is buried and mostly out of sight, it's not something you should completely forget about until it breaks. The goal of maintenance is to catch the small, silent signs of trouble before they escalate into a full-blown emergency.

A maintenance visit isn't about changing filters; it's a professional health check for your home's primary water artery. We conduct a thorough inspection of any visible piping in your basement or crawlspace, checking for slow drips or corrosion. The most critical component we check is your Pressure Reducing Valve, or PRV. This device protects all your home's pipes and appliances from the high and often fluctuating pressure from the municipal supply. A failed PRV can lead to burst washing machine hoses, damaged fixtures, and leaks inside your walls.

What we check during a maintenance visit: * Inspect all exposed water lines for corrosion or leaks * Test the function and setting of your Pressure Reducing Valve (PRV) * Check your main water shut-off valve to ensure it operates correctly * Visually inspect your yard for subtle signs of underground leaks * Assess overall water pressure and quality inside the home

A simple tune-up can identify a failing valve or a pinhole leak that, if left alone, could lead to a much more involved Water Line Repair & Service call down the road.

Keep your home’s water supply reliable with our Water Line Maintenance & Tune-Up program.

Water Line Inspection & Testing

Whether you're buying a home or chasing a phantom leak, a professional inspection gives you the real story on your water line's condition. This is especially critical in the Atlanta Metro, where many beautiful, established neighborhoods have homes with original water lines that are well past their expected lifespan. A pre-purchase inspection can save you from inheriting a five-figure plumbing problem. For current homeowners, if you're battling issues you can't quite pin down, a thorough test is the first step to a real solution.

Our inspection process is far more than a simple visual check. We use specialized equipment to get a complete picture of your line’s integrity from the street to your house. This non-invasive process tells us exactly what we're dealing with, allowing for precise recommendations instead of guesswork.

Our Diagnostic Toolkit

* Pressure Testing: We isolate the line and pressurize it to see if it holds. A drop in pressure is a definitive sign of a leak, even a very small one. * Acoustic Leak Detection: Sophisticated listening devices can hear the specific sound of water escaping a pipe underground, allowing us to pinpoint a leak’s location without digging. * Video Camera Inspection: We can run a high-resolution camera through the line to see the inside. This shows us everything—corrosion, cracks, blockages, or tree root intrusion—in real time.

The results from a proper Water Line Inspection & Testing can help you decide between a targeted Pipe Repair and a full replacement, giving you the confidence to make the right call for your home.
