What are some factors that affect the cost of a water main repair or replacement?

  • Extent of Damage: The cost of repairing or replacing a water main depends on the extent of the damage. Minor leaks or cracks may be less expensive to fix compared to major ruptures or collapses.The expert plumbers at Bonney will accurately assess the damage and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
  • Accessibility of the Line: If the water main is easily accessible, such as being close to the surface or located in an open area, repairs are typically more straightforward and cost-effective. However, if the line is buried deep underground or obstructed by structures, the repair process becomes more complex and may incur higher costs.
  • Type of Material: The type of material used for the water main affects the cost. Common materials like PVC are generally more affordable, while options like copper or ductile iron can be more expensive but offer durability and longevity. Bonney uses quality materials suited to your specific needs, ensuring long-lasting solutions.

Sacramento Water Line Replacement

Years can take a toll on old water lines resulting in reduced water flow and leaks. On old galvanized pipe, hard water builds up rust and calcium in the line which reduces flow and deteriorates the pipe. With copper pipe, leaks can develop over time due to the minerals eating away at the pipe. If you are experiencing low flow or leaks, the best way to resolve these issues is to let a Bonney plumber replace your water line.

Water Main & Water Line FAQs

What types of water line issues does Bonney handle?

A hot water recirculation pump is a device professionally installed on your tankless water heater or at the furthest fixture to keep hot water circulating through your pipes, eliminating the need to let water run until it heats up. There are two main types: a dedicated-loop system with its own return line, and a retrofit (comfort) system that pushes cooled water back via the cold-water line. Both options ensure hot water is ready on demand, reducing wait times and water waste. 

What are some signs that I might have a water line problem?

Common signs of a water line issue include a sudden drop in water pressure, unexplained wet spots in your yard, pooling water near your foundation, or an unexpected increase in your water bill. You might also hear hissing or bubbling sounds coming from walls or pipes. If you notice any warning signs, Bonney can quickly assess the situation to prevent further damage.

Can Bonney fix specialized piping like Kitec or PEX under my slab?

Absolutely. Bonney’s plumbers are certified to repair and install a wide range of piping materials, including Kitec, PEX, PVC, copper, and Poly pipe. We carry Kitec-certified parts in our fully stocked “warehouse-on-wheels” and are trained to safely address slab leaks or buried lines, ensuring reliable fixes without needing full-scale seeping replacement.

Is same-day service available for water line emergencies?

Yes, Bonney is prepared to respond promptly to urgent water line issues, including situations where homeowners cannot shut off their water. Technicians can even freeze pipes on-site to allow immediate repair without waiting for water to be shut off manually. Most water line leaks or breaks can be assessed and repaired on the same day, minimizing damage and disruption.

What should I expect during a water main diagnostic or estimate appointment?
