Underground Water Line Leak Repair | Main Water Shut-Off Valve & Pipe Replacement

In this video, I show how I found and repaired an underground water line leak on the main water service entering my house. After locating the leaking pipe, I dig up the pipe, remove the damaged section, and install a new pipe to restore the water supply. The main water shut-off valve was originally housed in a homemade wooden valve box. While it worked for years, it's time for an upgrade. I'll be replacing it (in a future video) with a durable plastic water valve box that's designed to be buried underground, providing better protection and easier access for future maintenance. I'm glad I found and fixed this hidden water leak before it turned into a much bigger problem. Repairs like this can help prevent water loss, reduce the risk of property damage, and improve the reliability of your home's water service.
