This pipe starts at your water meter and travels underground, through your yard and comes into your home either through your basement wall, your crawlspace, or through the concrete in your slab. If a leak develops on this pipe you may see a wet spot in the yard. In some cases there will be no signs of leaking but the home owner will receive a higher than normal water bill. If you suspect you have a leak, go to the meter box near the street and remove the lid. Make sure all faucets, etc. are not being used in the house and then look at the meter dial. If the indicator hand is moving or the small triangle is turning, there is water going through the meter. This would indicate that there is a leak.
"You're going to have to tear up my yard, making a mess!"
Not true. General San Leandro Plumbing & Rooter uses a trenchless, boring technology to install your new plumbing waterline with minimal damage to your yard and landscaping, often leaving you wondering if we were ever there. Sometimes, depending on the nature of your yard or landscaping, we have to make a narrow trench from the meter to your house, or at least part of the way. This is due in part to tree roots, large rocks, or other obstacles that simply get in the way. Nevertheless, General San Leandro Plumbing & Rooter will leave your yard in excellent condition. Due to our boring technology, we are also able to safely avoid your buried utilities, such as electricity, cable, and gas lines. Our installation includes, if necessary, penetrating your basement wall in place of your old service line to ensure that the new, high-quality waterline extends all the way into your home, not stopping short just outside. We will also flush your new waterline to ensure that no dirt, clay, or any other small particles make their way into your home's water system.
Have a larger home or business that requires a larger diameter main waterline? No problem. General San Leandro Plumbing & Rooter will assess the water demands of your property and determine the proper size line for you, ensuring excellent volume and pressure at all times. Have an extra-large front yard? Again, no problem. No matter the length, we are up to the task. And of course, all new water service lines are installed per code with the correct fittings and installation procedures. The best part? General San Leandro Plumbing & Rooter will match or beat anyone’s price. When it comes to waterline plumbing, experience counts.
