Main Water Line FAQs
What is trenchless water line replacement?
It's a modern method where a new pipe is pulled through the old, broken one, effectively replacing it without the need to dig a long trench across your yard. It's faster and less disruptive than traditional methods.
Am I responsible for the pipe that runs from the street to my house?
Yes. Typically, the homeowner is responsible for the water line from the point it connects to the municipal supply (usually at the curb or property line) all the way into the house.
