Water Service Line Services in Nassau County & the Surrounding Areas
Deep under the landscape rests one of the most important elements of your plumbing system. Out of sight, and out of mind, the water main provides the fresh water you depend on for your home or business. When it leaks, the pipes collapse, or a clog stops the flow, it can cause considerable disruption to your routine and your property.
At Cornetta Bros. Plumbing & Heating, our licensed and insured plumbers provide a comprehensive range of water service line services that will keep the water flowing and your pipes in excellent condition. We can install and connect new service lines to the water main, repair damaged service lines, replace damaged pipes, and more.

What’s the Difference Between a Water Main and a Water Service Line?
The water main brings water from the municipal water supply right to your property line. It’s serviced and maintained by the Water Authority of Western Nassau County. Once the water main reaches your property line, it distributes water into the water service line, which brings the water into your home or business. Essentially, anything that happens to the water main is the responsibility of WAWNC, while anything that happens to the service line is the responsibility of the property owner.
5 Signs There’s a Service Line Break
You’re certain to notice signs that the water service line has developed a problem. Some of the most common signs you may encounter include the following:
- Low water pressure: Breaks or clogs in the line can cause the water pressure to suddenly drop.
- Discoloration: Breaks in the line can allow dirt and other debris to enter the water, while red discoloration is often the result of corrosion within the line.
- Pooling water: Pooling water can happen as the ground becomes saturated and the water accumulates near the surface.
- Cracked foundation: Water from a service line break can erode the soil beneath the foundation, causing it to crack as the support fades.
- Rising water bills: If your water bill is rising without any increase in typical usage, it may be due to a leak or break within the service line.
Control Your Service Line with Eco-Net
Leaking water can significantly damage your property. A little bit of water is all it takes to ruin walls, undermine your foundation, and damage your personal possessions. Therefore, every ounce of protection you can muster is worth the investment. It will help you sleep easier knowing you have the reliable protection required to control the flow of water into your home.
One of the tools we highly recommend is the Eco-Net system. Controllable via Wi-Fi, Justworks, Zwave, LoRa, Relay, and Matter, the system will automatically shut off water when it detects a leak. It’s instant and provides immediate reaction to plumbing leaks while you sleep, while you’re away, and throughout the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I repair my own water service line?
We advise against all DIY repairs because there is a considerable risk of injury, death, or property destruction when servicing underground lines. It’s always best to hire a professional with the training, tools, and equipment required to safely and effectively perform any repairs, maintenance, or replacements.
How long will my service line last?
It depends on the pipes, soil conditions, and even the weather. Most PVC pipes will last 70+ years, while copper pipes last around 50 years, and galvanized steel at between 20 and 50 years. If you have cast-iron pipes, they can last up to 100 years when properly installed and maintained.
