Aging galvanized, copper or poly water lines corrode, leak and lose pressure. Replacing a service line from the meter to the house usually means a long trench across the property. Trenchless water line replacement installs a new line by pulling or drilling, so you avoid ripping through landscaping, driveways and walks. It restores pressure and reduces the risk of hidden leaks.
We locate the existing line, plan the route and use bursting, splitting or directional drilling depending on the site. New pipe is pulled in with small pits at each end, then connected and pressure tested. We coordinate shutoffs so you are without water for as short a time as possible, and we explain every step in plain terms.
