Water Main Replacement in Richmond

Water main line replacement and repair are crucial to ensuring you always have a reliable supply of clean water in your home or business. Checking your water line also helps to prevent costly damages from leaks or a burst pipe. In areas like Vancouver and Richmond and across the Lower Mainland, aging infrastructure can lead to water contamination, decreased water pressure, and property damage. Regular maintenance and timely water line replacement can improve water efficiency and safeguard your home or business. Investing in water line repair can truly enhance the overall resilience of water lines.
Water mains are underground pipes that carry fresh water from the reservoirs and pumping stations to your street and into your home. If there is a leak or a burst, and because the main water line is under pressure, water will continue to flow until the leak is fully controlled. A broken water line can lead to much more extensive damage, including causing a home to flood, weakening a foundation wall, and even affecting areas around the home, such as sidewalk cracks.
Because water is a necessity, your water line is too. Through multi-point inspections, affordable water line repairs, water line services, and value-focused customer satisfaction, we keep your water flowing as it should.

Common Signs of Water Main Issues
Unsure if you are in need of water line repair? Here are some of the most common water main issues homeowners and businesses may experience:
- Leaks: Leaky pipes are one of the most frequent issues, often caused by aging or corroded pipes. They can lead to water damage, a higher water bill, and even flooding if not addressed.
- Low Water Pressure: Reduced pressure can indicate blockages, leaks, or pipe damage. It can be inconvenient for daily tasks like washing dishes or showering and may signal a larger issue, likely needing a water line replacement.
- Unusual Water Colour: Brown, yellow, or rusty water can result from corroded pipes or sediment build-up. This can be a health concern, as discoloured water may contain contaminants. The entire water line will need to be checked thoroughly.
- Frequent Outages: Regular water service interruptions may signal the water line is reading the end of its lifespan, and you may need a replacement.
Prompt attention to these issues will help ensure the longevity of your water line, keeping it clean and allowing for reliable water access.

Water Main Replacement Process
At Impetus, we provide water line repairs and no dig/trenchless repairs for water mains. The water main replacement process involves several key steps to ensure a thorough and effective repair:
- Initial Assessment: Our team begins by inspecting the main water line to identify the issue, using advanced tools like leak detection devices or cameras to assess the damage and locate leaks or breaks.
- Planning and Excavation: After identifying the problem, we develop a water line replacement plan. The area around the damaged pipe is then carefully excavated to access the main water line.
- Trenchless / No Dig Repair: Trenchless, or no-dig, water main repair is a minimally invasive method to replace damaged water lines without the need for extensive excavation. Instead of digging large trenches to access the water main, our team uses advanced techniques like pipe bursting or pipe lining to repair or replace the pipe through smaller access points. This approach not only reduces disruption to your property but also lowers costs and shortens repair time. Trenchless repairs are ideal for homeowners and businesses looking to maintain their landscaping and avoid extensive digging while ensuring a reliable water supply.
- Pipe Replacement/Water Line Replacement: The old or damaged pipe is removed, and a new, high-quality pipe is installed, ensuring it meets modern safety and durability standards.
- Testing and Backfilling: After installation, we conduct pressure and leak tests to ensure the new main functions properly. The trench is then backfilled and restored. We also look into trenchless water line repair if applicable.
Final Inspection: A final inspection confirms the water line repair meets all local regulations and quality standards, ensuring your water system is fully operational.
