Trouble Free Water Line Repairs and Replacements



Water line repair or replacement is something most homeowners encounter at some point during the course of their home-ownership.



Some common causes of water line breaks: ran over the water meter with the car, planted a tree and chopped through the pipe, cut a tree down and drove a rock into the pipe, the pipe is just old and rusted or you one of the lucky people with recalled polybutylene plumbing. Regardless, you need water and you want it fixed where you don't have to worry about repairing it in your lifetime.

We suggest repairing most outdoor water lines using brass coupling, plastic coupling tend to break easier than the pipe their attached to. Some pipes require the use of plastic coupling such as 1" PB to 1" PEX, 1" polybutylene pipe is too soft to use on rubber seal on.


Atlantis Plumbing specializes in the repair and replacement of all types of water lines. We can repair all lines from an icemaker up to a fire hydrant line. Call us for a free estimate.

We are installing an inground pool in the very near future. Our first decision is to go with a fiberglass pool or a gunite pool? Advice from all you pool owners would be greatly appreciated. If you have had both types, please indicate in your reply. Thanks!
