Underground Waterline Repair in Tracy, CA

The Knights Plumbing & Drain team was recently called to a home in Tracy, CA, where the homeowner was experiencing a damaged underground water line.

After some investigation, we discovered the problem: five existing 1½-inch PVC 90° fittings were under stress due to an unlevel pipe connection entering the home, which caused the male adapter to snap.

Here’s what we did:

✅ Dug down to fully expose the damaged section of burst pipe

✅ Cut out the compromised 1½-inch PVC 90s

✅ Replaced them with brand-new, properly aligned 1½-inch PVC 90s

✅ Made sure all joints were glued, pressurized, and secure

✅ Assessed the grading to relieve future stress on fittings

✅ Backfilled and left the area clean and safe

Causation Tip: Pipes under constant tension can lead to cracks and fittings breaking over time. Level installation and proper support are crucial to a long-lasting plumbing system.

Now, the homeowner has a secure, leak-free connection and peace of mind knowing the issue was fixed at the root.
