Your main water line is essential. It directs all the water that you use into your home. While this pipe can last many years, it won’t last forever. Depending on how damaged your water line is and where it’s located, we have different options to repair or replace it.

Water Line Repair Methods
At Forbes Plumbing, we can perform your water line repairs a few different ways. The method that’s most ideal for your home will depend on your unique layout and situation.
Main Line Excavation
Main line excavation is the “old way of doing things”. This process involves using a backhoe to cut a trench, allowing the pipe to be exposed for inspection. Once the water line is repaired or replaced, the trench is backfilled. At Forbes Plumbing, we replace sewer lines, water lines, and gas/LP lines without digging everything up and ruining your landscape.
Trenchless Water Line Repair
At Forbes Plumbing, we also offer trenchless excavation for water line replacements. This process can usually be done in a matter of hours and doesn’t destroy your landscaping.
- Directional Drilling: directional drilling is a minimal impact method of installing underground utility services such as water pipe, sewer pipe, electrical conduit, cables, or any type of underground utility that previously required digging a trench.
Water Line Replacement Services
Your water line is responsible for bringing fresh water to your home so you can cook, bathe, and clean. Over time, your water line may crack or break from tree roots or corrosion, impacting the quality of your water.
