Replace Your Water Line Without Digging Up Your Yard
Do you have a failing lead, galvanized steel, copper or plastic water service line feeding your home? If so, we have a trenchless option for you! With our latest guided directional thrust boring technology, we have multiple equipment options and can safely replace your existing underperforming or failed water service line without digging a trench across your yard, landscaping or driveway.
Typically a small hole is excavated at the city water shut off location outside your home, usually near the sidewalk. We then install a new water service line utilizing guided directional thrust boring into or out of the basement depending on home specifics. The old water service line is disconnected and abandoned simultaneously while the new water service line is connected inside the house and at the city connection. The benefits of using this technology allows for the least amount of lawn, landscaping and potential drive way damage versus digging a trench. Using the “old” method of digging a trench is not only more destructive it leaves the customer with added costs to repair lawns, landscaping or driveways.
