When to Replace Your Main Service Line

You may need a new copper service line if you notice:

• Frequent leaks or pinholes in older piping

• Low or inconsistent water pressure throughout your home

• Rust-colored water from multiple fixtures

• High water bills or visible wet spots near your yard or meter

These symptoms often indicate corrosion or a failing buried line that can no longer hold pressure.

Our Copper Replacement Process

1. Inspection & Line Locating — We pinpoint leaks and assess pipe condition using modern detection tools.

2. Removal or Bypass — The damaged section is safely abandoned or removed.

3. New Copper Installation — Type L copper is installed to code from meter to main shutoff, with proper bedding and insulation.

4. Pressure Testing & Cleanup — Every new line is tested to verify flow and integrity before backfilling.
