Water Service Line Repair in Fort Collins: what's different here
Service lines in Fort Collins are buried deep to avoid freezing, and older homes may have galvanized or copper lines that have corroded or been damaged by shifting soil. Leaks often show up as soggy spots, low pressure or a rising bill.
Repair or replacement options include spot repairs, trenchless pulling or boring, and full replacement with modern pipe. The city handles the meter side; the homeowner handles the line to the house.
Signs of a failing service line include a meter that spins with all fixtures off, wet or sunken spots between the street and the house, and pressure that drops when several fixtures run. A leak test at the meter confirms it before digging.
