For Homeowners
New Water Line Installation and Replacement
This spoke of our Sewer & Water Line Excavation Repair service covers new water line installation — running a potable water service line from the connection point to your home or building, or replacing an existing water line that's beyond repair.
Why Trenchless
How Water Lines Differ From Sewer Lines
A water line carries potable water rather than wastewater, so it comes with its own code and permit considerations separate from a sewer line installation — a different pipe, a different connection point, and its own inspection requirements. That's also why it's priced differently: water line work starts at $15 per linear foot, compared to $60 per linear foot for sewer line work.
The Detail
What a Water Line Installation Includes

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between water line and sewer line installation?
A water line carries potable water and has its own code and permit considerations, priced starting at $15 per linear foot, while a sewer line carries wastewater and is priced starting at $60 per linear foot. Both are excavation installations, but they're distinct jobs.
How much does new water line installation cost?
Water line work is priced starting at $15 per linear foot, the same confirmed rate used across our Sewer & Water Line Excavation Repair hub, with a free estimate and a quote required before work begins.
Do you handle the permit for a new water line?
Yes — permit fees are $150 per permit pulled, and we handle the permitting as part of the installation.
Will a new water line disrupt my landscaping?
Excavation opens the ground along the water line path, so lawn, driveway, or hardscape in that path will be disturbed. We set restoration-scope expectations with you in the estimate before any digging starts.
How long does water line installation take?
We offer a quick scheduling response, but installation itself — excavation, pipe installation, backfill, compaction, and restoration — typically spans multiple days once work begins.
