Water Line Repair in Las Vegas: Pipe Fixed, Yard Restored
A leaking water line in your Las Vegas yard drives up your bill, softens the ground under your driveway, and damages your landscaping the longer it goes unrepaired. We fix the pipe and restore your yard, so you never have to coordinate multiple contractors. One company, one call, and your property is put back together when the job is done.
The Main Water Service Line Running to Your Home
We repair and replace the main water line that runs from the city meter or sidewalk shutoff to your house. This buried water service line supplies all of the water used inside your home. If you have a leak in your front yard, unexplained wet spots, low water pressure, or a water bill that suddenly increased, the problem is often a damaged water line.
From the meter to the house
The buried water service line that runs across your yard from the meter to your home's foundation, often beneath decorative rock, artificial turf, pavers, or planting areas.
Water Service Line to Your Home
his is the drinking-water line into your home not your sprinkler system or drip irrigation. We repair this line only. If your irrigation system needs attention, we handle that too on a separate visit through our irrigation repair service.
No Sewer or Drain Lines
We do not repair sewer lines, drain lines, or indoor plumbing. Our work is limited to the main water service line between the meter and your home's foundation.

Signs you may need water line repair
A failing water service line rarely announces itself. These are the everyday signs Las Vegas homeowners notice first.
Wet or muddy spots
Damp patches in the yard with no sprinkler running nearby, especially tracing a line from the street to the house.
Pooling water
Water collects near the sidewalk, driveway, or front walkway with no obvious source.
Sudden high water bill
A bill that spikes for no clear reason often means water is escaping underground before it ever reaches your home.
Low water pressure
Weak flow at the tap or shower throughout the whole house can point to a break in the supply line.
Meter keeps running
Shut off every fixture inside and outside. If the meter dial still moves, you have an active leak.
Odd patches in the yard
Unusually green strips or dead patches tracing the buried line are a tell. The leak is feeding one area and starving another.
Why Water Lines Fail in Las Vegas
Las Vegas has some of the hardest water in the country. High mineral content builds deposits inside pipes over time, restricting flow and weakening walls. Add alkaline desert soil, ground movement from heat cycles, and aging pipe materials, and Clark County homes face accelerated line deterioration. Homes built before 2000 frequently have one of these:
- Black poly pipe (polybutylene): Installed widely from the 1970s through the mid-1990s. Prone to cracking at fittings and along the line. No longer code-compliant for new installation.
- Galvanized steel: Corrodes from the inside out. Shows up as brown water, dramatically reduced pressure, or complete blockage. Common in pre-1970 construction.
- Older PVC or CPVC: Becomes brittle in extreme heat cycles. Joints and fittings are the most common failure points in desert climates.
If your home was built before 2000 and the line has never been replaced, it is worth knowing what material is in the ground. We identify it when we excavate and walk you through your options before any work starts.
Why call a landscaping company for a water line Repair?
“Your water line runs through your yard. A plumber may fix the pipe and leave the mess. We fix the pipe and put your yard back.”
Water line repairs require excavation. In Las Vegas, that often means digging through decomposed granite, decorative rock, pavers, artificial turf, drip irrigation, or planted beds. It is work we perform every day as part of landscape installation, irrigation repair, and outdoor property restoration.
Hiring a plumber and then a separate landscaper means coordinating two companies, two invoices, and two schedules. Cacti Landscape repairs the water line and restores the affected landscaping, so one local company handles the entire project.

Who Pays for Water Line Repair: You or the City?
In Las Vegas and Henderson, the Las Vegas Valley Water District owns and maintains the main line under the street. From the meter at the property line to your house, the service line is the homeowner’s responsibility.
If the wet spot or pressure drop is on the street side of the meter, contact LVVWD directly. If the problem traces to your side, the repair is yours to arrange. That is where we come in.
How Much Does the Main Water Line Repair Cost in Las Vegas?
Main water line repair in Las Vegas typically runs $800 to $3,500 for most residential jobs. Full replacement from meter to house on a standard lot generally falls between $2,000 and $4,500 with landscape restoration included.
Four factors drive the price:
- Trench length: How far the damaged section is from the meter or house foundation.
- Pipe material: Whether a patch repair works or full replacement is the better option.
- Surface type: Rock, pavers, and concrete flatwork take more time to restore than open soil or sod.
- Access: Deep lines or concrete obstacles add labor.
Before we break ground, you get a written itemized estimate. No surprises on the final invoice.

FAQs
Shut off every fixture inside and outside, then watch your meter dial for 10 to 15 minutes. If it moves, water is escaping somewhere in the supply line. Wet patches in the yard, pooling near the sidewalk, and a sudden spike in your water bill are the other main indicators.
Most residential jobs take one day. Simple patch repairs on accessible pipe can finish in a few hours. Full replacement runs on longer lines or under concrete flatwork may take two days. We give you a realistic timeline before work starts.
Yes. If we cut through drip lines, lateral pipes, or sprinkler heads during excavation, we repair those as part of the job. We handle full irrigation system repair across the Las Vegas Valley, so restoring a disturbed irrigation line is standard practice.
Many leaks can be repaired by replacing the damaged section of pipe. However, if the line is old, corroded, or has multiple failure points, a full replacement is often the more reliable long-term solution. We evaluate the condition of the line and recommend the most cost-effective option.
The repair process starts by locating the leak and exposing the damaged section of pipe through excavation. We then repair or replace the affected portion, test the line for proper operation, and restore the surrounding landscaping. If the line has widespread deterioration, full replacement may be recommended instead of a spot repair.
Yes. Copper water lines can often be repaired if the damage is isolated to a specific section of pipe. However, older copper lines that have experienced multiple leaks may be better candidates for replacement with modern materials such as PEX or HDPE.
