Water Line Repair Gainesville, FL
Most homes in Gainesville, FL, get all of the water from their taps from a single water line: the main water line. This pipe might need to be repaired if:
- The water pressure or water bills have drastically changed
- You have water pooling outside your home
- The water in your home is discolored or has a bad odor
Problems with a broken or malfunctioning water line are often emergencies. That’s why Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing is available day or night for Gainesville, FL water line repair.

We work hard to keep mess and excavation at a minimum. If we can handle your water line repairs without excavation, we will. However, if your main water line is buried underground, it might take a little bit longer for us to complete your repairs depending on the excavation requirements.
Moreover, it might take a little bit longer for you to recognize the signs of a problem.
When to Call The Punctual Plumbers: Common Water Line Problems
If you have an underground main water line and you notice puddles in your yard, problems with your water pressure, cracks in your foundation, discolored water in your home, unexplained increases in your water bills, or bubbling coming from your pipes, call our team of licensed plumbers in Gainesville, FL to schedule your appointment.
Trees
In Florida, trees have to be kept at least 10 ft from your main water line otherwise an overgrown root can cause damage. Roots can stretch into your main water line and are a common cause of water line repairs in gainesville.
Ground Movement
Most of Florida is below the water table and that means the water is very close to ground level. In Gainesville, concrete slab foundations are most common but these will start to settle over time because of gravitational forces. When there is ground movement from your foundation settling, this can cause a shift in the physical location of your main water line so that certain parts of the pipes no longer line up the way they should.
If you suspect a problem with your foundation settling, we can help facilitate a fast and reliable main water line repair.
Mineral Build Up
Many homes in Gainesville, FL struggle with hard water. Hard water means that you are more likely to have high levels of iron, copper, calcium, and magnesium in your water. As this flows through your pipes including your main water line, it can lead to limescale or mineral buildup. This can clog the pipes along the way, causing significant problems with your water pressure and taste.
When you schedule an appointment with Service Minds Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, we will not only help clear your main water line of any mineral buildup but help you review other services like a water softener installation to prevent that issue from happening again.
Age
Eventually, all water lines break down. If your water line is more than 50 years old, you might experience problems simply due to regular wear and tear. When you book an appointment with our team of local plumbers, we can help determine what repairs will keep your system working and your water flowing.

Water Line Repair FAQs
Repairing a main water line is a complicated and messy process. It is very labor intensive and requires specific expertise, tools, familiarity with local codes, and more. We recommend against trying to do this yourself as it can be difficult to locate your main water line or excavate without causing more damage if you don’t have any familiarity with the process.
We employ local plumbers in the Gainesville area who are familiar with the general layouts and configurations for main water lines, and have in-depth knowledge of local and state building codes so that they can maintain compliance with any repairs.
