## Expert Main Water Line Repair & Relocation in the Bay Area {#expert-main-water-line-repair-relocation-in-the-bay-area}

Your home's main water line connects your property to the municipal supply — and when it develops a leak, loses pressure, or needs to be moved for a renovation or landscaping project, the consequences can range from soggy landscaping to serious water damage. At Mako Plumbing and Sewer, we've handled everything from straightforward pipe repairs to major water line relocations, and we approach every job with the same commitment: **diagnose it honestly, fix it right, and leave your home better than we found it.**

We've relocated lines up to 40 feet, as verified by customer Vernon J.: *"If I could I would give Mako 10 stars… they replaced and relocated my water main (40 foot).

### Is It Time to Call?

Common warning signs that your main water line needs attention:

| Symptom | What It May Indicate |
|---|---|
| Unexplained spike in water bill | Slow leak in the main line |
| Low water pressure throughout home | Pipe damage, blockage, or corrosion |
| Wet or unusually green patches in yard | Underground leak near the line |
