The water service line connecting the municipal meter at the street to your home is your responsibility as a property owner. When this underground pipe develops a leak, it can wash away soil, damage foundations, and result in astronomical utility bills. In Perth Amboy, many older properties still rely on aging galvanized or even lead service lines, which are prone to sudden failure.
Our water line leak detection Perth Amboy NJ technicians utilize ground microphones and tracer gas to locate exactly where your service line is compromised. Before anyone begins digging up your lawn, driveway, or sidewalk, we ensure you know exactly where the problem lies.
