Main Water Service Line Leaks
A telltale sign of a main service line leak is to have water spraying out of a couple of openings in your yard, which means your plumbing system needs IMMEDIATE attention.
Not only is there the issue of damage to your beautiful landscaping with your main water pipe leaks, but your water meter will run like crazy, and your water bill will be high because the water leak is free flowing. This also causes little to no pressure inside of the home, where you turn on your faucet and get nothing.
This can happen from the main water service line or when it connects to irrigation or other plumbing systems designed to keep your landscaping in top shape.
Main Sewer Line Leaks
If you were experiencing slow drains or build-up in your drain lines and wake up to large puddles of dark water in your yard, you’re seeing the telltale sign of a broken sewer pipe. When the large sewer lines that move wastewater from our homes into the sewer system have an issue, things can get dicey. You may also be having backups and have to call for drain cleaning often – in that case, there may be something causing a blockage in the sewer pipe.
As these large drain pipes are carrying the septic water away from your home, tree roots can seek out the water that’s in the sewage pipes (which, yuck, who’d want that?? TREE ROOTS – that’s who!) and will constantly try to fix any crack or crevice and work the tree roots’ way into your drain pipe, leading to a sewer leak and backups no homeowner wants to have to deal with. The unpleasant odors that some with sewer gas and sewage backups are one thing, but the cockroaches, flies, and other pests that thrive in those environments can come out in full.
We know that a leaking sewer line, sewage backups needing major drain cleaning, and sewer line repair can be quite the out-of-the-blue, I need a plumbing service, situation; here at Smedley, we’re here to give you a straightforward answer to your questions, what you NEED to do, and what you COULD do, and whatever you choose you’ll be getting a plumber with a minimum of 10,000 hours of experience.

How to Fix a Leak in a Sewer Line in Action
Join us in this video as we repair a leaking main water service line. This customer woke up to water spraying out of their lawn. They called the city and learned that the issue was with their main water service line. Then they called us! We came out the next morning prepared to get this fixed quickly and efficiently. We safely dug down to the water line using our Bobcat E35. We identified the issue and made the repair. We found a Sharkbite fitting that had failed on the plastic water service line. We replaced the Sharkbite fitting with a new Pack Joint fitting and restored water flow. We also had to work around their irrigation system and the backflow assembly that serves the irrigation system. Sharkbite fittings can be good in an emergency, but they shouldn’t be used underground if you can avoid it.
