Low water pressure throughout your house is usually the first sign, especially if it’s gotten worse over time. Discolored water, unexplained wet spots in your yard, or a water bill that keeps climbing without explanation are other common indicators. If your home was built before 1980 and you’ve never had the main water line serviced, it’s worth having someone take a look. We can assess your current line condition and let you know if you’re dealing with a repair situation or if replacement makes more sense for the long term.
Traditional replacement means we excavate the full length of your old water line and install a completely new one. Trenchless methods can sometimes replace or repair lines with minimal digging, but they’re not always possible depending on your existing line condition, depth, and local soil conditions. We evaluate both options for every job and recommend what makes sense for your specific situation. Sometimes trenchless costs more than traditional replacement, and sometimes the existing line damage is too extensive for trenchless methods to work properly.
Most residential water line replacements take one to three days depending on the length of the run, soil conditions, and any complications we discover during excavation. Simple, straight runs in good soil conditions move faster than lines that have to navigate around obstacles or deal with challenging underground conditions. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated if anything changes. The actual water shutoff time is usually just a few hours while we make the final connections.
Some disruption is unavoidable with traditional water line replacement, but our specialized equipment minimizes the impact compared to hand digging or using inappropriate tools. We make clean, precise cuts and carefully separate topsoil from subsoil during excavation. Grass and plants can usually be restored, though it takes time to grow back. If your water line runs under concrete or pavement, that will need to be cut and repaired. We discuss all of this upfront so you know what to expect and can plan accordingly.
Water line replacement costs depend on the length of the run, depth, soil conditions, and any obstacles like driveways or mature landscaping. Most residential jobs in English Town range from $3,000 to $8,000, but every situation is different. We provide detailed written estimates that break down the work involved so you understand what you’re paying for. If you’ve already gotten estimates that seem high, we’re happy to take a look and give you our assessment of what the job should actually cost.
Yes, we respond to emergency water line situations, especially when the main line has failed and you’ve lost water service to your home. Emergency repairs focus on restoring your water service quickly, though sometimes a temporary fix is the best we can do until a full replacement can be scheduled. We’ll let you know upfront if what we’re doing is a permanent solution or a temporary measure to get you through until proper replacement can happen. Emergency work typically costs more than scheduled work due to the urgency and timing involved.
