A leak in the line from the meter to your house can waste water and run up your bill without you ever seeing it. We find it and fix it.
Every drop of water in your home comes through the main water service line that runs underground from the meter to the house. When that line leaks, cracks, or breaks, the signs can be subtle: a soggy spot in the yard, low pressure throughout the house, a water bill that suddenly jumps, or a meter that keeps spinning when every fixture is off. MC 1 Plumbing repairs, replaces, and installs water service lines throughout Greater San Antonio.
In general, the meter and the utility's side of the service belong to the water provider, such as SAWS, while the line from the meter to your home is usually the homeowner's responsibility. We handle the homeowner's side and can help coordinate with the utility when a problem involves both.
We also install and replace main shutoff valves, so you can turn off water to the whole house quickly in an emergency. Every job is backed by a licensed Texas Responsible Master Plumber (RMP M-43246) with 30 years of experience.

Main water lines can fail for several reasons. Older lines made of galvanized steel corrode over time, and some older plastic lines become brittle. Expansive clay soils in the San Antonio area shift with wet and dry seasons, putting stress on buried pipe. Tree roots, construction, and digging can damage lines too.
A simple test can reveal a hidden leak: turn off every fixture in the house and check whether the meter is still moving. If it is, water is going somewhere it shouldn't.
When a line has multiple problems or is made of outdated material, replacing it is often a better investment than repeated repairs. We'll explain the options and help you choose.
