Reliable Water Main Repair & Installation
With residential, commercial, and multifamily water main repair, replacement, and installation, Longhorn Boiler & Plumbing can identify the source of the problem and find the right solution for your property. We bring decades of experience working with larger plumbing and mechanical piping systems, including steam boiler systems, so we can address water main issues on complex commercial and industrial properties, not just standalone residential lines.
We can help address common water line problems such as:
- Underground water main leaks
- Cracked or broken water lines
- Corroded or aging pipes
- Recurring water line leaks
- Damaged supply lines
- Low water pressure caused by a damaged main
- Water pooling around your property
Whose Responsibility Is Your Water Main?
Your water main runs from the city's connection point at the street to your property
— the portion on your side of that connection is typically the
property owner's responsibility to maintain and repair, not the utility's.
That's where we come in.
Where the damage allows, we use trenchless methods to repair or
replace your water main with minimal disruption to your landscaping, driveway, or hardscaping.

or ask our team whether it's the right fit for your situation.
When Does Your Water Main Need Repair?
Water main issues aren't always easy to spot. Since much of the line runs underground, you may only notice a problem through changes in your plumbing before you spot an obvious leak. Looking out for these warning signs can help you address a problem before it causes more serious damage. This is especially true across Texas, where shifting clay soil in DFW and Houston, and aging cast iron or galvanized lines in older neighborhoods throughout the state, put extra strain on water mains over time.

Commercial & Multifamily Water Main Service
A water main failure at a commercial property or multifamily complex isn't just an inconvenience — it can shut down operations, disrupt tenants, and create liability if it's not handled fast. Longhorn Boiler & Plumbing brings the same commercial and industrial expertise we apply to boiler and mechanical systems to water main work, so property managers and business owners get a team that understands complex piping systems, code compliance, and minimizing downtime — not just a residential plumber working outside their depth.
Why Choose Longhorn for Water Main Service
Our water main repair and installation services provide homeowners, businesses, and property managers with timely solutions to their water main problems. We know how frustrating it is when water flows poorly or not at all, and we work to address problems as quickly as possible by fixing the issue, not just the symptoms.
Every technician we send is fully licensed and insured, and backed by decades of hands-on commercial and industrial experience.
Water main failures don't wait for business hours. We're available 24/7, with no additional labor charges for after-hours service.
A damaged water main chokes off pressure to the rest of your property. Once it's repaired or replaced, water flow goes back to normal — no more guessing why the shower's weak or the sprinklers are sputtering.
A hairline crack in your main can leak for months before you ever see it. We find the source and shut off the waste, so your bill reflects what you're actually using.
Water main leaks don't stay put — they saturate soil, undermine driveways, and work their way toward foundations. The earlier we catch it, the less it costs to fix.
We don't take a one-size-fits-all approach. We'll assess the condition, location, and extent of the damage and explain plainly whether a repair or full replacement makes the most sense.
Frequently Asked Questions About Water Main Repair
A few warning signs: your water bill jumps for no clear reason, pressure drops throughout the house, or you notice a soggy patch of yard that stays wet even when it hasn't rained. None of those guarantee it's the main — but they're worth a look. Give us a call and we'll pinpoint what's actually going on.
The cost depends on the water main's location, the extent of the damage, pipe material, accessibility, and whether the line needs repair or complete replacement. We can evaluate the problem and provide a service estimate based on your property's needs.
Replacement may make more sense when the pipe has extensive damage, severe corrosion, repeated leaks, or has reached the end of its useful life. We'll inspect the existing line and help determine the better long-term solution.
The timeline depends on the line length, its location, ground conditions, and the repair or installation method. After evaluating your property, we can give you a better idea of the timeline.
Often, yes — if the damage is limited to one section and the rest of the pipe is holding up fine, we can repair just that part. But if we open it up and find corrosion or wear spread across the line, patching one spot just means you're back here again in six months. We'll tell you straight which one you're looking at.
Installation may be necessary when your property needs a new connection to the public water supply, such as during new construction or property improvements, or when an existing main is too damaged to repair.
Lifespan really comes down to what the pipe's made of and what it's been sitting in — soil that shifts a lot, water with high mineral content, or a rushed install job will all shorten its life. We've seen mains that lasted 50+ years and others that started failing after 15.
Low water pressure, wet spots in the yard, and pooling water outside your property are common signs of a broken water main, but a full inspection is the only way to confirm the source.
Usually not. Most standard homeowner's policies treat water main failure as wear and tear rather than sudden damage, so it's typically excluded. Some insurers offer separate service-line coverage as an add-on — check your policy or ask your agent if you're not sure what's covered.
