If your home has low water pressure, rising bills, or persistent wet spots in the yard, the buried water service line is often the culprit. Instead of tearing up the lawn, walkways, or driveway, we use trenchless methods to replace the line from the meter to the house—quickly and neatly.
Gotta Guy Plumbing & Home Services serves Wichita and nearby cities—Maize, Goddard, Andover, Derby, Haysville, Park City, and Bel Aire—with clean installs, clear pricing, and options that fit your home and timeline. We handle permits, utility locates, and code details so you don’t have to.
What We Fix Most
- Hidden leaks in the yard: Soaked soil, pooling near the foundation, or the meter spinning when fixtures are off.
- Low or unstable pressure: Rusted galvanized lines, kinks, or restricting repairs from past patches.
- Aging materials: Galvanized steel, thin-wall copper, or problematic plastics; we replace with HDPE CTS or Type L Copper to code.
- Meter or curb-stop issues: We coordinate with the utility, replace the service to a clean new shutoff, and label valves.
- Slab/garage entries: Routed safely with proper protection, sleeve penetrations, and code-height shutoffs inside.
If the leak is active and you need immediate help, see Emergency Plumbing.
How We Work (Simple & Transparent)
- Verify & locate: Pressure tests, meter checks, and electronic locating to map the existing path and utilities.
- Trenchless pull/bore: Two small access pits—by the meter and the foundation—let us pull or bore a new continuous line with minimal surface impact.
- Right materials: HDPE CTS with heat-fusion or compression fittings, or Type L Copper when required/preferred—pressure-rated and code-compliant.
- Upfront options: Line size, route choices, restoration details, and warranties—no pressure.
- Clean finish: Labeled shutoffs, pressure/flow verification, photo documentation, and neat backfill/patching of small pits.
Wichita Area Notes: Soil, Sidewalks & Frost
Many Wichita yards include clay soils, mature roots, and sidewalk/drive crossings. Trenchless pulls let us bypass hardscapes without long trenches. We set proper cover depth for frost, protect the entry sleeve, and coordinate utility locates before we dig.
If you also have slow drains or recurring sewer backups, a camera can tell you whether trenchless options make sense on the drainage side, too. See Sewer Line Service for cleanouts, scoping, and repair choices.
Tip: If your water meter moves when every fixture is off, you likely have a service leak. Shut off the main if you can, avoid irrigation cycles, and call—early action protects foundations and lowers water bills.
Repair or Replace—We’ll Be Straight With You
Spot repairs can work on newer, otherwise healthy lines. But with galvanized or repeatedly patched services, a full replacement is often the better value—restores pressure, reduces future leaks, and comes with a clear warranty. We’ll show pros/cons so you can decide confidently.
Want to prevent surprises? Our Preventative Maintenance Plans include whole-home plumbing checks. For urgent leaks, see Emergency Plumbing.
When to Call (Don’t Wait Too Long!)
- Water bill climbing with no change in usage
- Yard soggy or green strips across the lawn
- Hissing at the meter box or foundation
- Low pressure at multiple fixtures
- Meter dial moves when fixtures are off (hidden leak)
