Everything Included in Your Water Line Replacement

Your water line replacement includes professional excavation, removal of the old pipe, and installation of new water line materials rated for decades of reliable service. We handle all permit applications with the Borough of Lavallette.

We also provide underground leak detection if you suspect problems but aren’t sure of the location. Many Lavallette homeowners discover water line issues when they notice soft spots in their yard or unexplained increases in their water bills.

Emergency water line repair is available when you experience sudden water loss or major leaks. We understand that water line failures don’t wait for convenient timing, especially during the summer season when you need reliable water service.

Most residential water line replacements in Lavallette take 1-2 days to complete. The timeline depends on the distance from your water meter to your home and soil conditions. We typically excavate and install the new line on day one, then complete connections, testing, and restoration on day two. Emergency repairs can often be completed the same day to restore your water service quickly.
The main culprit is age. Most Lavallette homes were built with galvanized steel pipes in the 1960s and 1970s. These pipes corrode from the inside out, especially in our coastal environment, where salt air accelerates the process. You’ll notice decreasing water pressure, rusty water, and eventually leaks as the pipe walls thin and develop holes.
Water line replacement costs vary based on the length of pipe needed and excavation complexity. Most residential jobs in Lavallette range from $2,500 to $6,000. Factors affecting price include distance from the street, landscaping that needs protection, and whether we encounter rock or other challenging soil conditions. We provide upfront pricing before starting any work.
We take care to minimize landscaping damage, but some disruption is unavoidable when replacing underground pipes. We excavate only as wide as necessary and carefully remove and replace sod when possible. Most homeowners find their yards recover quickly, especially with Lavallette’s sandy soil that’s easy to work with and restore.
Yes, water line replacement requires permits from the Borough of Lavallette. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The borough requires licensed plumbers to perform this work and inspects the installation before allowing the new line to be covered. This protects you and ensures the work meets all local codes.
Common signs include decreasing water pressure throughout your home, rusty or discolored water, unexplained increases in your water bill, and wet spots in your yard between the house and street. If your home was built before 1980 and still has the original water line, replacement is likely needed soon even if you haven’t noticed problems yet.
