Water Line Repair & Replacement in Pahrump, NV
The main water line carries water from the meter or your well to the house. When it leaks or breaks, the whole property is affected. ASC Plumbing repairs, replaces, and installs main water lines in Pahrump.
What the Main Water Line Is
The main water line is the buried pipe between the utility meter, or the well and pressure tank, and the point where water enters your building. It's separate from the pipes inside the house, and problems with it affect every fixture at once.
Signs of a Main Water Line Problem
- A wet or soggy patch in the yard between the meter or well and the house
- The water meter moving when every fixture is off
- Low pressure at every fixture
- A well pump that runs when no water is being used
- Ground that sinks along the line's path
- A water bill that rises for no clear reason

How Water Line Repair Works
1. Confirm it's the main line
We check the meter or well, the pressure, and the yard to confirm the problem is outside the house.
2. Locate the leak
We trace the line's path and narrow down the failed section.
3. Repair or replace
We repair the section or replace the line, depending on its condition.
4. Test and backfill
We pressure-test the line, restore water, and backfill the trench.
The Utility's Side and Your Side
On utility water, the utility usually maintains the line up to and including the meter, and the property owner is responsible for the line from the meter to the house. If water is leaking at the meter itself, call the utility first.
Water Lines on a Private Well
On a well, the owner is responsible for the whole system, including the line from the wellhead to the house. A leak in that line can keep the pump running. See well pump and pressure tank repair if the pump is also cycling.
Freezing and Shallow Lines
Lines buried too shallow, and exposed pipe where the line comes up at the house or wellhead, can freeze on cold Pahrump nights. Our frozen pipes guide covers what to protect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for the main water line?
On utility water, the utility usually handles the line up to and including the meter, and the owner is responsible from the meter to the house. On a well, the owner is responsible for the whole line.
How do I know if my main water line is leaking?
Turn off every fixture and watch the meter. If it still moves, or if there's a wet spot in the yard along the line, the main line is a likely cause.
Can you install a new water line for a new home or shop?
Yes. ASC Plumbing installs new water lines for new homes, newly placed manufactured homes, and outbuildings.
How long does a water line replacement take?
It depends on the length and depth of the line and what's on top of it. Many replacements take a day or two.
