What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is a Water Service Line Upgrade (Larger Size / Higher Pressure)?
Your water service line is the pipe that runs from the city meter (or main connection) into your home. If it’s too small, very old, or poorly installed, you can experience:
Weak pressure when multiple fixtures are on
Long fill times for tubs, washers, and outside spigots
Limited capacity when adding bathrooms, kitchens, or outdoor features
A water service line upgrade typically means:
Installing a larger-diameter service line (and associated fittings)
Assessing and adjusting pressure regulation where appropriate
Improving the entry setup (main shutoffs, layout) for easier service
The goal is to support higher demand and better pressure throughout the home, especially when you’re adding fixtures or tired of weak flow.
Why Choose Active Plumbing
Big-picture planning: We don’t just swap pipe—we consider your current and future water demand, fixture count, and layout.
Sizing expertise: We size lines based on fixture load, run length, and code, not guesswork.
Remodel-friendly: Ideal partner if you’re adding bathrooms, kitchens, outdoor kitchens, or accessory units.
Pressure-conscious: We evaluate existing pressure, regulators, and system design so you get usable pressure inside, not just at the meter.
Local experience: Familiar with Las Vegas service layouts, soil, and common older service line issues.
Licensed & insured: Nevada License #0047021, trusted for water service line upgrades in Las Vegas and surrounding areas.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
Notice when pressure drops the most—showers, laundry, kitchen, or whenever multiple fixtures run at the same time—so we can target the right solution.
If you’re planning a remodel or addition (extra bathroom, large tub, outdoor shower, casita), list out the new fixtures and where they’ll be located.
Check whether you already have a pressure regulator and main shutoff that are accessible and in decent condition near where the line enters your home.
Avoid making big plumbing changes (like multiple new bathrooms) without confirming your water service line and pressure can actually support them.
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357, let us know you’re dealing with low pressure, heavy demand, or planning upgrades, and ask about a water service line upgrade (larger size / higher pressure).
Common Situations Where a Service Line Upgrade Helps
Older homes with small-diameter service lines that weren’t designed for today’s fixture counts
Homes adding multiple new bathrooms, a large soaking tub, or body-spray showers
Properties with casitas, ADUs, or guest spaces sharing the same service line
Homes with low pressure when multiple fixtures run—like showers, dishwashers, and washing machines at the same time
Outdoor upgrades such as irrigation, outdoor kitchens, or pool-side plumbing that increase demand
Upgrades where code and best-practice sizing suggest a larger line for reliability and comfort
If you’re investing in new plumbing fixtures but still have a small, undersized water service line, you may never see their full performance.
Call & Usage / Project Review
You call (702) 438-3357 and tell us about your pressure issues or upcoming project (extra bathrooms, remodel, outdoor features). We schedule a visit to evaluate your existing service line and water use.
On-Site Inspection & Pressure Check
Your plumber inspects the meter, existing service line, pressure regulator (if present), and main shutoff, and checks static and working pressure while running fixtures to see how the system behaves under load.
Sizing, Routing & Options Discussion
We evaluate pipe size, length, and layout, then recommend appropriate service line sizes and routes based on code and expected demand. We also look at pressure regulators and valves for potential upgrades.
Upfront Proposal for Upgrade Work
You receive a clear, written estimate outlining the scope of work: trenching or boring, new service line size and materials, shutoff/PRV upgrades, and cleanup details—plus the expected impact on flow and usable pressure.
Water Service Line Upgrade Installation
We install the new, properly sized water service line from the meter or main connection to your building entry point, connect to the interior system, and upgrade or replace shutoff valves and regulators as specified.
Testing, Backfill & Final Walkthrough
We flush, pressurize, and test the new service line and interior fixtures, verifying improved flow and pressure. Then we backfill and compact our trench or excavation, and walk you through what was done, where the new line runs, and how to operate new shutoffs/regulators.
What’s Included
On-site evaluation of existing service line, pressure, and planned fixture demand
Sizing and routing recommendations for a properly sized upgraded service line
Installation of a new water service line from meter/connection to the building entry point
Upgraded main shutoff and pressure regulator (where included in scope) for better control and maintenance
System flushing, pressure testing, and fixture checks after the upgrade
Written documentation of line size, route, materials, and any future maintenance suggestions
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
Many water service line upgrades can be completed in a day or so, depending on line length, access, and surface conditions.
You receive clear, upfront pricing after we evaluate your existing line, pressure, and required capacity—before any digging or replacement begins.
Costs depend on line length and depth, pipe size/material, access challenges (landscaping, driveways, hardscapes), and whether pressure regulators and shutoffs are upgraded at the same time.
Every project includes a line-item estimate covering diagnostic, excavation, new piping, connections, shutoffs/PRV work, and any optional add-ons (e.g., extra hose bib feeds, future-ready stubs).
Insurance & Claims Help
Water service line upgrades are usually planned improvements, not insurance items—but related problems may involve coverage:
If your existing service line failed, leaked, or caused damage, we can document what failed and what we replaced.
Our detailed invoices can help if you’re working with a home warranty or service plan that may contribute toward repairs or upgrades.
(Coverage and eligibility are always decided by your insurer or warranty provider; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
Ongoing low pressure: Undersized service lines can keep showers weak and fixtures competing for flow.
Remodel limitations: Adding new bathrooms or fixtures without upgrading supply can lead to disappointing performance and callbacks.
Potential line failure: Older, undersized lines are often older materials, more prone to leaks or bursts.
Inefficient work sequencing: Upgrading your interior plumbing or doing beautiful remodels before upgrading the service line can mean redoing work later when you realize the supply is inadequate.
Resale concerns: Buyers and inspectors may flag chronic low pressure or undersized supply when you go to sell.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
Code-compliant line sizing: We size service lines to meet or exceed local plumbing codes and recognized best practices for your fixture count and layout.
Approved piping materials: Use of code-approved pipe and fittings rated for underground and service use in the Las Vegas area.
Proper depth & bedding: Lines are installed with appropriate depth, support, and backfill based on site and code requirements.
Tested and verified: We pressure-test and flow-test at key fixtures to confirm improved performance after the upgrade.
Future-ready mindset: Routes and valves are laid out with future service and potential expansions in mind when possible.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will a bigger water service line automatically give me higher pressure?
A larger line mainly improves flow and available volume, especially when multiple fixtures are on. Actual pressure also depends on city supply, elevation, and pressure regulation. We evaluate all of those when recommending upgrades.
Do I need a service line upgrade for every remodel?
Not always. Smaller projects may be fine on existing lines. But if you’re adding bathrooms, large tubs, or heavy-use features, it’s smart to check whether your service line meets recommended sizing.
Will my yard or driveway need to be dug up?
Often there’s trenching or directional boring involved. We plan routes to minimize impact where possible and explain exactly what will be disturbed and how it will be restored.
Is this the same thing as a main line leak repair?
Not exactly. Main water line repair focuses on fixing a leak or failure. A service line upgrade focuses on improving size and capacity—though if your line is old and leaking, we may recommend upgrading and replacing it at the same time.
How long will my water be off during the upgrade?
Water is typically off during tie-in and testing, which we schedule to limit total downtime. We’ll explain how long you can expect to be without water on the day of the upgrade.
