  Atlanta Waterline Repair
We are the absolute TOP Experts in Atlanta in the replacement and installation of main water lines. That's the line that brings fresh water to your home. This line begins at your meter and is laid underground, through your yard and comes into your home either through your basement , the crawlspace, or through the slab under your home. In older houses, this pipe is made of copper, pvc, galvanized steel, or the dreaded "blue poly." In the ground, copper oxidizes, steel rusts terribly, releasing rust particles into your drinking water. PVC has a tendency to crack with temperature changes. And blue polybutylene? Well, if you aren't one of the almost millions of homeowners who suffered through this nightmare of a product, we'll give you a quick summary.
Blue polyethylene is a type of plastic water pipe designed to be a more flexible alternative to copper piping It was, until homeowners started discovering high water bills and puddles of water in their yards. It was then that we learned that blue poly was very susceptible to leaks and cracking due to the chlorine content of our water. The chlorine eroded the walls of the pipe, weakening it to the point of pinholes, and sometimes complete breakage. There was a large class-action lawsuit filed against the creator of blue poly in order to pay for all the homeowners that were forced to have their lines replaced due to the faulty piping.
It is because of these problems with other materials that we install all of our new water service lines in a far superior product called Black Poly. Known to plumbers as PEX (cross-linked polyethylene), or P.E. pipe, this material is what blue poly SHOULD have been. Completely flexible, black poly safely expands and contracts with temperature fluxuations, is resistandy to chlorine and other minerals, competely rust-proof (being plastic), and is a very tough product. So tough, in fact, that we back each waterline installation with a 25-year warranty on the pipe itself, plus a 10-year warranty on our parts and labor. We have installed over 24,000 waterlines in this material, with ZERO recalls due to product integrity. We also use brass fittings to connect the pipe to your water meter and house plumbing, eliminating plastic fittings' tendency to crack under stress. Black poly is also far less expensive to produce than copper, usually saving you hundreds of dollars on installation costs.
We know what you're thinking. "You're going to have to rip up my yard, causing a mess!" Actually, we use a trenchless, boring technology to insert your new waterline with minimal damage under yard and landscaping, often leaving you wondering if we were ever there. There are times, depending on the layout of your yard or landscaping, we HAVE to make a narrow trench from the meter to your house, or at least part of the way. This is due in part to tree roots, large rocks, or other impediments that simply get in the way. Either way, we will leave your yard in great condition. With our boring ability, we are also able to safely miss your buried utilities. Our installation includes, if necessary, penetrating your basement wall in place of your old service line to ensure that the new, high-quality waterline extends all the way into your home, not stopping short just outside. We will also clean out your new waterline to ensure that no junk or small particles make their way into your home's water system.
We'll match or beat ANYONE's price. When it comes to waterlines, experience counts. And with over 24,000 new water service installations behind us, we've seen it all.
