Water Line Repair & Replacement in Riverside, CA

Plumbing MATTers Rooter & Plumbing Services

Your main water line runs from the meter at the street into your home and supplies every faucet, shower and appliance. When it leaks, corrodes or breaks, you lose water pressure, waste money on your bill, and risk damage to your yard and foundation.

We find the problem, explain your options, and repair or replace the line in copper or PEX, with permits pulled when the job needs them. We also handle the parts that control your water supply: pressure regulators and shutoff valves.

Call (909) 714-2207 about a water line problem. Water line leaking or broken right now? We take emergency calls 24/7.

Signs of a water line problem

Low water pressure throughout the house
A wet, soggy or sunken spot in the yard between the street and the house
A water bill that keeps climbing with no change in use
Rusty or discolored water, often from old galvanized pipe
Hissing or running water sounds when everything’s off
The water meter moving with every fixture turned off
Cracks in the driveway or walkway over the line

If you suspect a hidden leak but don’t know where it is, start with our water leak detection service.

What we do

Water line repair

When the damage is in one section, we locate it and repair just that part of the line.

Water line replacement

If the line is old galvanized steel, polybutylene, or has leaked more than once, replacing it is usually the smarter long-term fix. We replace main water lines in copper or PEX and will explain the trade-offs so you can choose.

New water line installation

Adding an ADU, an addition or new construction? We install new water lines and tie them into your system.

Pressure regulator (PRV) replacement

A pressure regulator keeps the water pressure coming into your home at a safe level. When it fails, pressure can climb high enough to stress pipes, fixtures and water heaters, or drop too low. We test your pressure and replace failing regulators.

Main shutoff valve replacement

An old shutoff valve that’s seized, leaking or won’t fully close is a problem the moment you need it in an emergency. We replace them with modern quarter-turn ball valves.

Galvanized and polybutylene replacement

Galvanized steel corrodes from the inside, narrowing the pipe until pressure drops and the water runs rusty. Polybutylene, a gray plastic pipe used in some older homes, is prone to failure. We replace both. If the pipes inside the house are failing too, see our home repipe service.

Copper vs. PEX

Copper is long-lasting, durable and a proven choice for decades.
PEX is a flexible plastic tubing that resists corrosion and needs fewer fittings, which often makes installation faster.

Both are good options. We install both and will recommend what fits your home and budget.

What our customers say

We have a 5.0 rating from more than 450 Google reviews. Pressure regulator replacement comes up again and again.

“He did a good job replacing the very old, leaking, exposed outside pipe that goes into the house and provides water for the master bathroom… He rebuilt the exterior assembly: new copper and fittings, a new tee/branch arrangement, a new 3/4-inch ball shutoff valve, while retaining/reconnecting the hose bib and tying everything back into the existing copper entering the wall.”
Julian B., Google review

“He quoted me a good price to replace my failing water heater and also found a leak that I did even know I had going into the water heater. He also found that the pressure valve going into the house was going bad and I got that replaced as well.”
Chris H., Google review

Water line FAQs

Who is responsible for the water line?

Generally, the line from the water meter to your house is the homeowner’s responsibility, and the utility handles the meter and the line on the street side. Check with your water provider if you’re not sure where the line splits on your property.

Should I repair or replace my water line?

If the leak is a one-off in a line that’s otherwise in good shape, a repair usually makes sense. If the pipe is galvanized or polybutylene, or it has leaked before, replacement is usually the better investment.

How do I know if my water pressure is too high?

Banging pipes, running toilets, leaking faucets and short water heater life can all point to high pressure. We can test it and replace the pressure regulator if it’s failing.

Do you pull permits?

Yes. We pull the required permits for water line replacement.

Do you install copper or PEX?

Both. We’ll explain the pros and cons and help you choose.

Client Testimonials

Matt installed a new water heater for me. He was very helpful and polite. He responded quickly and he was extremely knowledgeable. He offered a great value for the services he performed, his quotes are much cheaper than his competitors. He was extremely professional. He arrived on time, got the job done quickly and explained everything thoroughly, and cleaned up afterwards. I would definitely hire him again for any future plumbing needs.

Matt was awesome! He was at my house within 30 minutes, instead of enjoying his day off. He repaired my leak at the water meter. He was cordial, professional, timely and reasonably priced. I have a list of other items I want him to fix! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a great plumber! Lyn, Corona resident

I came home from work to a massive leak coming from my water heater and tried calling about a million other plumbers with no luck! I called Plumbing MATTers Rooter and Plumbing Services and was greeted by a pleasant gentleman who was available within the hour! Matt was able to replace my water heater that same day too and at a great price! He was very knowledgeable and professional, I will 100% be recommending to friends and family!

I found Plumbing Matters Rooter and Plumbing services online via Yelp. I filled out the quick quote survey and Matthew responded almost immediately. He was very straightforward, provided a quote right then and there and said if he’s not able to unclog my toilet then there’s no charge to me. He also happened to be in the area so he swung over the same day like 30 minutes later. Matthew was awesome - very professional, courteous and friendly. Got my toilet back up and running after he got out a toothbrush (of all things!) that my son must have flushed down the toilet. He also showed me how I can fix issues like this in the future on my own by buying a tool at Home Depot. I would definitely definitely recommend these guys!!

Matthew Hodkinson of Plumbing MATTers came over and replaced my toilet! He also explained everything to me as he went along. He was professional and gave me a really good price! I will definitely use him in the future for any of my plumbing needs!! Thanks, Kathy!

What a great plumbing company! Matt came out to my home right away and took care of a big sewer problem. All my toilets were backed up! Matt was knowledgeable and cleared the sewer line from the roof vent. I am so glad I called Plumbing MATTers. The pricing is fair and the costumer service is outstanding! I highly recommend.
