Water & Yard Lines
Leak detection from the meter to the house, then the line dug and replaced with our own equipment, or trenchless where the yard allows.
How we do itHansen Plumbing Pro · Lowell, Arkansas
Water lines dug, laid and backfilled by the plumbers who own the excavator.
Master Plumbers working Benton and Washington Counties. A leak between the meter and the house, a sewer line, a water heater that's letting go: one call, and the same crew sees it through.
Meter to house
The line nobody sees until the yard goes soft.
Between the city's meter and your foundation runs a line that's usually yours to maintain. Northwest Arkansas clay swells and shrinks with the seasons, rock left in an old ditch wears through PVC, and a hard freeze finds every weak joint. A lot of the leaks we dig start right here.
- Damp or muddy spots in the yard, even in dry weather
- A water meter that keeps running with everything off
- A sudden drop in pressure through the whole house
- A water bill that jumped and nothing changed

Everything after the meter
Two depths of plumbing. One crew for both.
New fixtures typically go in on American Standard, Mansfield or Kohler, and we repair every brand. Under the yard, the machines are ours.

A job, start to finish
Rick Simpson's yard line
“John could have just as easily repaired the first leaks we found setting us up for future service calls, but he did not.”
- The call
- A water bill with a leak nobody could see. The yard was already soaked from rain.
- On site
- Within a couple of hours, confirming a yard line failure.
- What was wrong
- Rocks piled in the ditch at the original install had worn through the PVC in more than one place.
- The fix
- Next morning, backhoe and crew. The whole line replaced with new plastic line, not PVC.
- Water back on
- By the end of that day, with no leaks and the yard put back together.
What people say after Cody leaves.

“I was referred to Hansen by a family member who has used them several times. I called them to fix a leak stemming from a frozen water spigot. They were super responsive, even given the busy holiday season. Cody was professional, efficient, and transparent about the necessary repairs/costing. They also provide a 1-year warranty which is a huge plus.”
“Great communication and were able to fit us in quickly. They were very reasonably priced for replacing a kitchen faucet. I appreciated Cody taking the time to explain what our issue was with the faucet.”
“We have used Hansen Plumbing for several of our projects and problems in Fayetteville. They are always so nice, so accommodating and very professional. They have never let us down and we highly recommend them for any plumbing issue you might have!”

Usually, yes. The section between the municipal water meter and the house is typically the homeowner's to maintain, and it's where many leaks happen. We repair and replace that run from meter to house, from a single crack to the whole line.
The common signs are a sudden drop in water pressure, an unexplained jump in the water bill, damp or muddy spots in the yard even in dry weather, rusty water, a water meter that keeps running with everything off, and hissing or gurgling in the pipes. Call us and we'll find the source before anyone starts digging.
Yes. We run our own excavator, backhoe and dump truck, so the dig, the new line and the backfill are all done by the same crew. Where the yard allows, trenchless replacement puts the new line in with much less digging.
