What our water line repair service includes
Every water line repair schertz TX job starts with a full diagnosis and ends with a tested, backfilled line. Here is what is covered in a standard repair or replacement.
Work order
Water Line Repair and Replacement- Leak detection and diagnosis: We use leak detection equipment and a pressure gauge to find the break. You get a clear explanation of what failed, where it is, and whether a patch or full replacement is the right call.
- Excavation and exposure: We dig a tight trench to expose the damaged pipe. We keep the hole as small as possible, usually two to four feet wide, and protect your landscaping where we can.
- Pipe repair or replacement: We cut out the bad section and splice in new copper pipe or PEX tubing. If the whole line is failing, we replace the full run from the meter to the house. Every joint gets pipe fittings and Teflon tape or pipe sealant.
- Pressure testing: Before we backfill, we pressure-test the new line. You watch the gauge hold steady. If it drops, we find the leak and fix it before covering anything up.
- Backfill and cleanup: We backfill the trench, compact the soil, and restore the surface as close to original as we can. We haul away the old pipe and leave your yard ready for grass to grow back.

Water line repair schertz TX: what it actually involves
A main line leak never fixes itself. It wastes water, undermines your foundation, and costs more every month you wait. We find it, fix it, and test it before we leave.
Water line repair schertz TX is the trade of locating, exposing, and fixing the pipe that carries water from your meter to your home. That line runs underground, so we start with leak detection equipment and a sewer camera to pinpoint the break before we dig. Once we know where it is, we cut out the damaged section with a pipe cutter, solder or press in a new piece of copper pipe or PEX tubing, and pressure-test the repair. Most jobs take two to six hours from arrival to water back on.
In schertz, the main line takes a beating. Our soil shifts with wet and dry cycles, which cracks older PVC pipe and pulls joints apart. Summer heat pushes demand up, and a failing line shows itself as a spike in your water bill or a soggy patch in the yard. If you have been searching for underground water line repair schertz TX because your meter keeps spinning, we can trace the line and tell you exactly what is wrong before we quote the fix.

How our water line repair process works
We keep it simple. You call, we show up, we find the problem, and we fix it.
Tools and methods we use
Each method answers a different question. Together they leave very little to guess.
We run a camera through the line to see the inside of the pipe. This shows us if the problem is a single crack or full-line corrosion, so we recommend the right fix.
For PEX and copper connections, we use a Milwaukee press tool to make secure joints without soldering. It is faster and safer, especially in tight trenches.
We cut out the damaged section with a pipe cutter and sweat new copper fittings with a soldering torch. Every joint is cleaned and fluxed before soldering.
We test the line at 80 to 100 psi before backfilling. If the gauge drops, we know there is a leak and we find it before covering the pipe.

How water line repair works in schertz
Schertz sits on clay-heavy soil that expands when wet and shrinks when dry. That movement cracks older PVC pipe and pulls joints apart. Most of the homes we work on were built between the 1970s and early 2000s, and many still have original polybutylene or galvanized steel main lines.
Schertz Heights
Older homes with original galvanized steel lines. We see more corrosion and low-pressure complaints here than anywhere else in the area.
Cibolo Crossing
Newer construction with PEX main lines. Failures here are usually from shifting soil at the meter connection, not pipe corrosion.
Live Oak Estates
Larger lots with long main line runs. Leaks are harder to find, so we rely on leak detection equipment before digging.

PhotoPinhole leak in copper main line
Before: The meter kept spinning at night. We traced the leak to a pinhole in the copper main line about eight feet from the meter.
After: We dug a three-foot trench, cut out the damaged section, and soldered in a new piece of copper pipe. The repair took four hours. The pressure test held at 90 psi.
Full replacement of galvanized main line
Before: A 1978 home in Cibolo had low water pressure at every fixture. The galvanized steel main line was full of scale and corrosion. A patch would not fix it. The homeowner had been living with weak showers for two years.
After: We replaced the full run from the meter to the house with PEX tubing. The job took two days, including trenching and backfill. Shower pressure went from 2.1 gallons per minute to 4.8 gallons per minute.
Emergency repair of cracked PVC main
Before: A property manager in Universal City called on a Friday afternoon. Water was bubbling up in the yard of a rental property. The tenant had no water. The PVC main line had cracked at a joint due to soil movement.
After: We dispatched a crew within two hours. We shut off the main valve, dug down to the break, and replaced the cracked section with new PVC pipe and fittings. Water was back on by 6 p.m. the same day.
Water line problems we fix in schertz
Most main line failures show up in one of a few ways. Here is what we see most often and how we fix it.
Water meter spinning with no fixtures on
You are paying for water that never reaches a faucet.
Soggy patch or standing water in the yard
Water surfacing in the yard means the line is broken and the soil is saturated.
Low water pressure at every fixture
When every tap runs weak, the problem is in the main line, not the fixtures.
Water bubbling up near the meter box
This is an active leak, and it will not stop on its own.
Why fix your main line now
A failing water line does not heal itself. It gets worse, and it costs more the longer you wait.
Stop the water loss
A pinhole leak in a main line can waste hundreds of gallons a day.
Protect your foundation
Water from a broken main line soaks the soil under your slab. That leads to slab leak, shifting, and cracks in drywall.
Restore full water pressure
A corroded or partially collapsed line chokes flow to every fixture.
Avoid emergency calls
A main line that blows at 2 a.m. or during a holiday weekend is a mess.

What schertz homeowners say
Our water bill doubled in one month. Pro Plumbing Schertz came out, found a leak in the main line about three feet from the meter, and had it repaired by lunch. They showed me the cracked pipe before they cut it out. The yard looks fine and the bill is back to normal.
We had low pressure at every faucet for weeks. I thought it was the water softener. They tested at the meter and found the main line was full of scale. They replaced the line with PEX and now the shower pressure is better than it has been in years. Fair price, no mess left behind.
A main line broke at one of our rental properties on a Friday afternoon. Pro Plumbing Schertz had a crew out within two hours. They isolated the break, repaired it, and had water back on before the tenant got home from work. I have used them three times since for other properties.

If you see water bubbling up near the meter box, shut off the main valve and call us. We can trace the line and confirm the break the same day.
Yes. When a line is corroded, has multiple leaks, or is made of old polybutylene or galvanized pipe, replacement is the better long-term fix. We replace the full run from the meter to the house with copper pipe or PEX tubing, pressure-test it, and backfill the trench. Most replacements take one to two days.
A straightforward repair takes two to six hours from arrival to water back on. That includes detection, digging, cutting out the bad section, splicing in new pipe, and testing.
