Water Line Replacement and Installation

A properly functioning water line is an absolute necessity for any household. Without a reliable water supply, it's impossible to cater to the needs of your family, guests, or anyone else who visits your home. Unfortunately, water lines have a limited lifespan, and over time, they may require repair or replacement. Thankfully, Mr. Rooter® Plumbing can help you with these crucial services.

Water Line Replacement and Installation Process

Water line replacement refers to the process of removing and upgrading an existing water line that has become damaged or outdated. On the other hand, water line installation involves the creation of a new water line where one didn't previously exist. Both these services are vital for ensuring a reliable water supply in your home.

The Importance of Water Line Replacement

In the past, replacing or repairing water lines was a messy and time-consuming ordeal, often involving digging up the affected area. However, with the advancements in technology and plumbing techniques, water line replacement has become more efficient and less intrusive.

Trenchless Water Line Pipe Replacement

Mr. Rooter Plumbing offers trenchless pipe techniques, which have revolutionized the way we address water line issues. This method is particularly useful for:

1. Pipes Running Underneath Your Property: When your water lines are located beneath your house or landscaping.

2. Cracked or Broken Pipes: For pipes damaged due to ground or house movement.

3. Repeated Freezing and Thawing: When pipes have been weakened by the cyclical effects of freezing and thawing.

4. Increased Water Demand: When your household requires a larger water line to meet its needs.

This trenchless approach minimizes disruption to your yard, landscaping, or driveway while efficiently resolving water line problems. Our licensed and insured experts can evaluate your specific situation to determine the most suitable replacement method for your home.

Pipe Pull Installation Technique

One of the techniques commonly employed by Mr. Rooter Plumbing is the Pipe Pull installation technique. This process involves drilling small holes at the beginning and end of the damaged water line. The new pipe is then installed, guided by the old one. The replacement pipe meets all required codes, is leak-resistant, root-deflecting, chemical-resistant, and long-lasting, boasting up to a century-long lifespan.
