Why Savannah homeowners call for water line repair
The service line is usually the homeowner’s from the meter. Material — copper, galvanized, poly, PEX — changes the repair.
The service line from the meter is often the oldest pipe on the property. Raised historic cottages and frame houses with cast iron and galvanized south of the squares; slab ranches toward the southside. Nearby towns: Pooler, Garden City, Port Wentworth, Thunderbolt.
Frost depth and soil decide how it fails. High water table and coastal storms load laterals; humidity shortens tanks in sealed closets. Slab and crawl leaks both show up after heavy rain. Common dispatch ZIPs in Savannah include 31401, 31404, 31405, 31406. Nearby codes are covered — call with yours.
Call with ZIP and whether the leak is before or after the meter if you know.
