Fix Water Line Problems Before They Worsen

Water line installation and repair services for homes and properties in Chattanooga, Tennessee.

When you notice low water pressure, wet spots in the yard, or unusually high water bills in Chattanooga, the problem often traces back to a leaking or damaged water line. Tolli's Construction installs and repairs water lines for homes and properties across Chattanooga and surrounding areas. The work includes replacing aging lines, fixing leaks, connecting new service, and trenching to minimize disruption to driveways, landscaping, and hardscapes.

Water line work involves excavating to the depth of the existing line, exposing the damaged section, and replacing it with new pipe that meets current standards. Repairs address leaks caused by corrosion, freezing, or shifting soil. New installations run from the meter or well to the home, with proper depth and protection to prevent future damage. Projects are often paired with sewer line or drainage work to reduce the number of times your property needs to be dug up.

If you suspect a water line issue or need a new line installed in Chattanooga, get in touch to schedule an evaluation and discuss the scope of work.

What Changes After the Line Is Fixed

Water line repair in Chattanooga starts with locating the problem section using pressure tests or visual inspection of wet areas. Excavation exposes the damaged pipe, and the faulty section is cut out and replaced. Trenching is kept as narrow as possible, and backfill is compacted to prevent settling. New lines are installed at the proper depth to protect against freezing and surface damage.

Once the repair or installation is complete, water pressure returns to normal, wet spots dry up, and your water bill reflects actual usage instead of losses from leaks. You will notice consistent flow at every faucet and no more unexplained puddles or soft ground near the line.

Tolli's Construction uses excavation methods that limit impact on your driveway, yard, and landscaping. Backfill is tamped down to match surrounding grade, and disturbed areas are left ready for seeding or paving. If your project involves both water and sewer line work, the two can be coordinated to reduce the total time your property is under construction.

These are the questions that come up most

Homeowners in Chattanooga typically want to know how to tell if a water line is leaking, how long repairs take, and whether old lines should be replaced even if they are not leaking yet.

What are common signs of a water line leak?
You may see wet or muddy spots in the yard, hear water running when all fixtures are off, notice a drop in water pressure, or get an unexpectedly high water bill. These symptoms often point to a leak underground.
How long does water line repair take?
Most water line repairs in Chattanooga take one day from excavation to backfill, depending on the depth of the line and soil conditions. Full replacements or longer runs may take two days.
What depth should a water line be installed at?
Water lines are typically buried at least 18 to 24 inches deep to protect them from freezing and surface damage. Tolli's Construction installs lines at the proper depth based on local conditions and code requirements.
Why pair water line work with sewer line repairs?
Coordinating both projects saves time and limits the number of excavations on your property. If both lines are aging or run near each other, handling them together reduces disruption and overall cost.
When should I replace an old water line?
You should consider replacement if the line is made of outdated materials like galvanized steel, shows signs of corrosion, or has required multiple repairs. Replacing the line prevents repeated leaks and improves water quality.

A leaking water line wastes hundreds of gallons a day and causes damage that spreads the longer it goes unaddressed. Tolli's Construction handles water line installation and repair across Chattanooga with careful excavation, proper materials, and attention to long-term reliability.
