What Is Going On, and What We Do About It
The main water line runs from the meter to the house, buried under the yard, the driveway, or a walkway. When it leaks, the signs are outside: a patch of lawn that stays green and wet, a sunken spot, or a water bill that climbs for no reason. Hose bibbs and irrigation lines fail the same way, and a winter freeze often starts the damage.
Brentwood lots are large, so main lines run long, and clay soil movement stresses joints and fittings along the way. Mature trees add root pressure near the line. Irrigation systems are common in estate neighbourhoods like Governors Club and Annandale, and their lines and backflow units freeze fast in a cold snap if they are not winterised.
Signs to Watch For
- A wet or sunken patch in the yard with no rain
- A water bill that climbs with no change in use
- A hose bibb that drips, leaks, or will not shut off
- Low pressure through the whole house
- An irrigation zone that floods or will not run
- A meter that moves with every tap off
How We Fix It
- Confirm the leak is outside. Meter and isolation tests tell us whether the leak is in the yard line or inside the house.
- Locate the break. We trace the line and narrow the leak to a small area, so we dig only where we must.
- Repair the line. The failed section is replaced with the right pipe and fittings, and the line is pressure-tested.
- Protect the line. We check hose bibbs, irrigation shut-offs, and insulation, so the next freeze is less of a threat.
When you call, tell us what you see, hear, or smell. If you are unsure whether it is an emergency, call anyway. We would rather you ask than wait while water spreads.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know the leak is in the yard line?
Turn off the main valve at the house. If the meter still moves, the leak is between the meter and the house. That test tells us where to start.
Do you repair irrigation lines?
Yes. We repair irrigation supply lines, valves, and backflow units, and we winterise systems before a freeze.
Why is one patch of lawn always wet?
A buried line may be leaking there, or a low spot may collect water. A meter test and a look at the line tell us which one it is.
Can a yard leak wait?
Not long. A buried leak wastes water, erodes soil, and can undermine a walkway or driveway. It also shows up on the water bill month after month.
Do you replace hose bibbs?
Yes. A leaking or frozen hose bibb is replaced with a frost-free model where the house allows it, with a proper shut-off inside.
