Water Line Leak Detection in Irvington, NJ

Locating Underground Water Line Leaks

When you have an underground leak between the curb stop (meter) and your house, you need specialized water line leak detection Irvington NJ. The warning signs of an underground service line leak include inexplicably wet, muddy spots in your yard during dry weather, significantly low water pressure inside the home, and water pooling near the foundation in areas like Irvington Center. In New Jersey, determining homeowner versus utility responsibility is the first step, as the homeowner is typically responsible for the line from the curb to the house.

Navigating Lead and Galvanized Lines

Many older homes in Irvington still have lead or galvanized service lines. New Jersey requires water utilities to replace lead service lines over the next decade, making it critical to know what material you are dealing with when a leak occurs. Our detection methods include using acoustic ground microphones and tracer gas to locate the exact position of the leak under the dirt, driveway, or sidewalk. This prevents excavating a massive trench blindly across your landscaping.

Repair and Safety First

After we locate the leak, we discuss repair versus full line replacement. Trenchless options may be available depending on the pipe condition. Always remember to call NJ One Call (811) before digging to avoid striking other underground utilities.
