Water Line Replacement: Trenchless vs. Traditional

When repair is no longer feasible—due to extensive corrosion, age, or a major pipe burst—we offer complete water line replacement with options designed to protect your property and budget.

• Trenchless Water Line Replacement: This modern method, often involving pipe bursting or pipe lining, requires minimal excavation, typically only two small access points. It is the ideal choice for preserving expensive landscaping, driveways, sidewalks, and mature trees, making the replacement process faster and significantly less disruptive than traditional digging.
• Traditional Excavation: For cases where the pipe is shallow, severely collapsed, or close to other utilities, traditional trenching may be the best or only option. We manage the entire excavation process—from securing necessary permits to clean backfill and site restoration—ensuring the new line is installed using durable, modern materials like Copper or PEX for maximum longevity.
• Water Service Upgrades: For older homes, we can replace outdated, small, or corroded lines (like galvanized pipes) with larger, modern pipes to improve water quality, flow rate, and pressure throughout the entire property.
