How Much Does it Cost to Repair an Underground Water Leak in Victorville?
I recently performed main water line repair on a home for only $300 where the broken 1″ pipe was under the concrete porch in a utility box, as with most homes in Victorville, the pipe is PVC from the meter to the building, and the pipe transitions to copper just outside the home or building. Fixing PVC pipe will be cheaper than copper because of the soldering (welding) involved.
Other factors that play into underground pipe repair in Victorville will be the size of the water pipe. 3/4″ PVC pipe that is under a foot of dirt can cost around $250 and a 1″ main water line repair could be closer to $350. Compounding factors making the price go up are the depth of the pipe in dirt, whether there are tree roots in the dirt or rocks, and the urgency to get the water back on. Broken water lines under concrete, known as slab leaks, will have variables such as the thickness of concrete, access to location, and accessibility that make slab leak repair in the $800 range and up.
Who is Responsible for Underground Water Leaks?
Residential homeowners in Victorville are responsible for main water lines past the city water meter supply. If the meter itself is leaking, that is the responsibility of the Victorville Water District to send a technician to fix their meter. Even if your main water line is leaking under the sidewalk, it will be the homeowner’s responsibility to hire a Victorville plumber for slab leak repair or water pipe bypass.
Most insurance policies do not cover leaks outside the home, but Guaranteed Plumbing can still work with most insurance companies to pay for what is covered. Trenchless pipe lining costs between $6000 to $20,000 and is usually not an option , nor is it recommended for underground water pipe repair in Victorville when a spot repair or pipe bypass can be done.

Why Quick Repairs Matter
The reason its important to finish underground water pipe repair in Victorville quickly is due to the cost of water loss, the high water bill you will incur, and the water damage that can create problems of its own. Neighbors might complain that a large puddle of water is bringing insects like mosquitoes.
Consequences of Delayed Repairs
Additionally, mold can make you sick, and drywall that is destroyed must be removed and replaced along with flooring that sustains water damage. Even more damaging are slab leaks under the building’s foundation that can undermine the concrete foundation of your home or property. If left unchecked, many thousands of dollars of damage can be done until slab leak repair is performed.

Water on the floor doesn’t always indicate the leak’s location. The actual leak may be far from the puddling water. That’s when leak detection service must be performed before the leak is fixed.
