## Water Line Emergency? Call (720) 935-6221

If water is actively escaping, shut off the supply at the main if it is safe to reach and call. Every hour an active break runs, the water damage and restoration cost grows.

Our emergency crews are equipped for projects of all sizes, from a minor repair to a comprehensive replacement, using trenchless methods or traditional excavation depending on the failure.

- Water surfacing in the yard, street, or basement.
- Sudden total loss of water pressure.
- A visible break, burst, or frozen line failure.
- Flooding near the foundation or under a slab.

## Fast Diagnosis Keeps an Emergency Repair Small

Even in an emergency, locating the failure accurately matters. Finding the break quickly means opening the ground once, in the right place, and getting service restored sooner.

We adopt no-dig technology where it applies to minimize damage and cleanup costs, and we use excavation when direct access is the faster or safer option.

## How Emergency Response Works

1. **Call and Stabilize** We talk you through shutting off supply safely while a crew is dispatched.
2. **Locate the Failure** The crew pinpoints the break rather than opening ground across the property.
3. **Repair or Replace** We restore service with the fastest dependable method for the failure.
4. **Plan the Follow-up** If the line needs longer-term work, we explain the options once the emergency is contained.

## Emergency Repair Cost Depends on the Failure

Emergency cost tracks the type of failure, access, depth, and whether the line needs a repair or a replacement to stay in service.

We explain the scope before performing work beyond stabilizing the emergency.

## Frequently asked questions

**Are you available at night and on weekends?**

Yes. Emergency water line repair is dispatched around the clock, every day of the year. Call (720) 935-6221.

**What should I do while I wait for the crew?**

Shut off the water supply at the main if it is safe to reach, keep people away from any flooded area, and avoid using fixtures on the affected line.

**Who is responsible for the water service line?**

Denver Water states that property owners are responsible for the service line and meter pit at their service address. That means most underground service line repairs and replacements fall to the property owner, not the utility. Denver Sewer and Water is a private, family owned and operated company. We are not Denver Water or the City and County of Denver.

**Are you Denver Water or the city?**

No. Denver Sewer and Water is a private, family owned and operated company. We are not Denver Water or the City and County of Denver. For utility accounts and billing, contact your local utility directly.

**How do I get started?**

Describe what the property is doing. We will schedule an evaluation, locate and inspect the line, and explain the repair or replacement options before any work is scheduled. Call (720) 935-6221.
