The story

What the customer called about

Water leaking in the front yard, near a tree.

What we found

Water leaking in the front yard, near a tree.

What we couldn't know until we opened it up

What was causing the leak, and how old the line was.

The options we gave them

Option 1: spot-repair the leak. Option 2: replace the whole line.

What they chose, and why

The whole line. At more than 70 years old, another leak was only a matter of time.

Before, during and after

Photos from the job itself

A leak in the front yard near a tree turned out to be the home’s original 1954 water line, damaged by roots and corrosion. We replaced it with new PEX-A from the meter at the street to the crawlspace.

The work

  • Installed a new PEX-A water line from the meter at the street to the tie-in in the crawlspace
  • Sleeved the new line through the foundation into the crawlspace
  • Backfilled the trench

Priced in writing before any work started. That's the ARC Promise.
