Water Line Repair in Topeka, KS

Expert Water Line Repair and Replacement by a Licensed Master Plumber

A damaged or leaking water line can cause low pressure, high bills, and serious property damage. I’m Jamie O’Harra, owner of O’Harra’s Plumbing Service, and I provide reliable water line repair and replacement for homeowners across Topeka and Northeast Kansas.

With more than 27 years of plumbing experience, I handle every step of the job personally—from diagnosing leaks to repairing or replacing damaged water lines. As a licensed master plumber, I make sure your system is fixed safely, efficiently, and to code, with lasting results you can depend on.

Why Water Line Issues Shouldn’t Wait

Even a small leak can waste thousands of gallons of water per year, weaken your foundation, and cause mold or rot. Many leaks start underground or inside walls, where they go unnoticed until damage becomes serious.

Prompt repair prevents these issues and restores your water pressure, protecting both your home and your wallet. I use professional diagnostic methods to find the exact source of the problem before beginning any repair work.

Common Water Line Problems I Repair

Underground Leaks

Shifting soil, tree roots, and corrosion can all damage buried water lines. I locate leaks accurately and repair or replace affected sections with durable, modern materials.

Corroded or Deteriorated Pipes

Older metal pipes can corrode and flake from the inside, leading to discolored water and reduced flow. I replace outdated materials with long-lasting copper or PEX piping.

Frozen or Burst Pipes

Cold Kansas winters can cause water lines to freeze and burst. I repair damaged sections, insulate exposed lines, and make recommendations to prevent future freezing.

Low Water Pressure

If pressure suddenly drops, your main water line may be leaking or partially blocked. I’ll pinpoint the cause and make the necessary repairs to restore consistent pressure.

Water Service Line Replacement

When an entire service line has failed or is made of outdated materials, I can replace it with high-quality, code-compliant piping that resists corrosion and shifting soil.

Signs You May Have a Water Line Leak

If you notice any of these signs, it’s time to have your water line inspected:

  • Unexplained increase in water bills

  • Wet or muddy spots in your yard

  • Drop in water pressure

  • Hissing or running water sounds when taps are off

  • Discolored or rusty water

  • Cracks forming in your driveway or foundation

The sooner a leak is found and fixed, the less damage it can cause.
