What are signs of a water line problem?

Signs of a water line issue include sudden drops in water pressure, discoloured or muddy water, unexplained wet spots in your yard, sinkholes or unusually green patches of grass, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, and higher than normal water bills. Any of these signs warrant a professional inspection.

Who is responsible for the water line between the street and my home?

In most Michigan municipalities, the homeowner is responsible for the service line running from the public water main at the street to the home's foundation. The municipal water authority is responsible for the main line in the street. Cregger can repair or replace the homeowner's portion of the service line.

Does Cregger repair water main breaks?

Yes. Cregger's licensed plumbers diagnose and repair water main breaks and service line failures for residential and commercial properties throughout Metro Detroit and Oakland County. We handle all necessary permits and coordinate with local authorities as required.

Can Cregger replace an old lead or galvanised water service line?

Yes. Cregger's licensed plumbers can replace aging lead or galvanised water service lines with modern copper or PEX lines to improve water quality, restore full water pressure, and eliminate the risk of contamination. Contact us at 248-543-1190 to schedule an assessment.

What Is a Water Line?
A water line is a pipe that carries water from the main water supply to your home’s plumbing system. Water lines are usually made of copper, galvanized steel, or polybutylene, depending on the age of the line and the local water supply.

The main water supply is usually located near the property line. Water lines are buried underground, usually about 2-3 feet below the ground. When the line breaks or wears out, the water supply to your home can be interrupted. A water line problem can be a big issue, especially if your home relies on a well or a septic system. In these situations, a broken water line can cause significant damage to your property.

There are many reasons why a water line may need to be repaired or replaced. Some common issues include:
- Corrosion from underground minerals
- Tree root intrusion
- Age and wear-and-tear
- Water line breaks
- Failure to comply with local codes
If you have a water line issue, give us a call. We have over 100 years of combined experience and have successfully handled countless water line issues. Our plumbers are licensed, insured, and bonded to guarantee that you get quality workmanship at a fair price.
Why You Need Water Line Installation or Repair

A water line is critical to the plumbing system of your home. If your water line is broken or damaged, you need to have it repaired or replaced as soon as possible. Otherwise, you may have a hard time using water in your home or have a leak that can cause significant damage to your property.

A water line installation or repair job is not something you should do yourself. Water lines are buried below the ground, so you can’t just look at the line to see if it needs repair. The only way to accurately diagnose a water line problem is to have a professional plumber do an inspection.
