Common Signs of a Water Line Leak or Failure

  • Sudden spikes in your water bill
  • Hissing or running-water sounds when fixtures are off
  • Damp spots or sinkholes in your yard
  • Low or uneven water pressure
  • Rusty, cloudy, or discolored water
  • Mold or mildew growth near slab areas list
Pro Tip: In Georgia's red-clay soil, buried copper lines can corrode from outside-in. Early detection and replacement with PEX or HDPE can prevent thousands in property damage.

Protecting Your Home’s Water Pressure

Proper water pressure protects your pipes and fixtures. We inspect, install, and calibrate pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) to maintain balanced, safe water flow and prevent stress on your system.

Target pressure range: 55-75 PSI for most Georgia homes.

A failing PRV can cause faucet hammering, burst hoses, and fixture leaks — have yours checked every 3-5 years.

Ollie’s Club Preventive Membership

Members enjoy annual inspections, priority scheduling, and exclusive discounts on leak detection, jetting, and replacements.

Included with your plan:

  • Annual water pressure test & PRV check
  • Visual inspection of accessible water lines
  • Leak detection if usage anomalies are detected
  • Preferred pricing on replacements or trenchless services

Regional Water Line Expertise

Deep Dive Plumbing understands Georgia's unique plumbing conditions:

  • Expanding red-clay soils that stress buried pipes
  • Hard water accelerating corrosion in copper and steel lines
  • Tree root intrusion from large oaks and maples
  • Freeze-thaw cycles impacting shallow service lines

We use soil-stable bedding materials, protective sleeving, and proper slope correction to ensure each installation lasts decades.
