Main Water Service Line Repair & Replacement
The service line is the buried pipe that carries water from the meter to your house — and when it fails, the signs show up as a mysteriously wet patch of lawn, a spinning meter with everything off, or a water bill that doubled for no reason.
Tannor locates the problem, gives you a straight answer on repair versus replacement, and gets it done with as little digging as the situation allows. Old galvanized and polybutylene service lines in this area are common candidates for full replacement.

Questions
Frequently Asked
Will my yard be destroyed?
No more than necessary. Repairs are targeted digs, and full replacements are planned along the shortest sensible route. You'll know exactly what's being opened before work starts.
Who owns the service line — me or the city?
In most Oregon districts the homeowner owns everything from the meter to the house, which is exactly the section Mathias Plumbing repairs and replaces. The district owns the meter and the street side.
