216-677-2707Underground Water Line Repair & Replacement in Mentor, OH
Leaks, low pressure, or old lead and galvanized service lines — repaired or replaced right.
Your water service line runs underground from the curb stop or meter to your house, and in most Greater Cleveland communities the property owner is responsible for that private section. When it fails, you may see a soggy patch in the yard, a meter that keeps spinning with everything off, a sudden drop in pressure, or water coming through the basement wall where the line enters. On Our Way Plumbing repairs and replaces underground water service lines for homes and commercial properties.
We start by confirming the leak with meter and isolation tests, then locate the line and pinpoint the failure so excavation stays small. A localized break can often be cut out and spot-repaired. If the line is old galvanized steel, which corrodes and restricts flow, or lead, which should be replaced for health reasons, a full replacement is the better investment. Replacement lines are typically type K copper, PEX, or HDPE, sized for your home's demand and buried below the frost line — commonly around 42 inches in Northeast Ohio — to resist the freeze-thaw cycles that crack shallow lines. Depending on site conditions, we may open a trench or pull the new line through with minimal digging.
Every dig starts with an OHIO811 request and private line locating. We coordinate permits and water provider requirements, pressure-test the new line, and restore the excavation. Call 216-677-2707 for water line repair and replacement in Mentor and Greater Cleveland.

Underground Water Line Repair & Replacement in Mentor — FAQ
In most Greater Cleveland communities, the homeowner is responsible for the service line from the curb stop or meter to the house, while the water provider handles the main and its side of the connection. Rules vary, so we confirm with your provider.
Look at the pipe where it enters your basement before the meter or main valve. Lead is dull gray, soft, and scratches to a shiny silver; galvanized steel is gray and a magnet will stick to it. We can inspect it and check for other materials during a visit.
A single break on an otherwise sound copper or plastic line is usually worth spot-repairing. If the line is lead, heavily corroded galvanized, undersized, or has leaked more than once, replacement is typically the better long-term value.
