Find the Leak First, Then Fix It Right
The water service line that runs underground from the meter to your home is your responsibility — and when it leaks, it usually hides. The first clue is often a water bill that doubles or a wet line across the yard that won't dry out. NSP Plumbing locates the leak precisely before any digging, so the repair is targeted and the cost is controlled.
Whether it's an old galvanized or polybutylene service line, a frozen-and-burst line in a Michigan cold snap, or a slow leak driving up your bill, we repair or replace it — trenchless where the line allows — and back it with a warranty.

Water Line Repair FAQs — Grand Rapids
A sudden jump in your water bill, a soggy or sunken strip across the yard, low water pressure throughout the house, the sound of running water with everything off, or air sputtering from faucets. Because the service line is buried, the leak is often invisible until the bill or the yard gives it away.
In most Grand Rapids-area municipalities the homeowner owns the water service line from the curb stop or meter to the house. That buried section is your responsibility — and exactly what we repair and replace. We'll confirm the ownership line for your specific property.
Often, yes. For many service lines we can use trenchless methods (pipe pulling/bursting) through small pits at each end, sparing your lawn and driveway. If the line is badly degraded along its length, an open trench may be the better long-term fix. We locate the leak first, then recommend the least-invasive option.
It depends on the length, depth, soil, and whether it's a spot repair or full replacement. We start with a $49 diagnostic and leak location, then quote flat-rate before any digging. Spot repairs are at the lower end; a full service-line replacement runs higher.
Very possibly. A buried service-line leak can waste hundreds of gallons a day without any visible sign indoors. We pressure-test and locate the leak to confirm whether it's the service line, an interior line, or something else before recommending a fix.
Yes — a frozen or burst water line is an emergency, and we respond same-day and 24/7. We'll get water restored and the line repaired or replaced.

A trenchless replacement is often done in a day; an open-trench replacement of a long line can take 1–2 days depending on depth, soil, and permits. We'll give you a clear timeline with the quote.
Yes. Water line work is performed by licensed plumbers, permitted, pressure-tested, and backed by our workmanship warranty.
