From the main to the meter to the wall
New water services
For new homes, shops & barns: the tap at the main, the meter pit, the service line sized for the distance & the fixture count, & a clean entry through the foundation. Builders usually have us do the water service & the grinder pump system on the same mobilization.
Repairs & replacements
A wet spot in the yard, a meter that spins with everything off, pressure that dropped over a year: we locate it, open it & fix it. Failing lines get replaced, bored where the yard matters.
Custom designs for pressure & volume
Long rural runs, hilltop homes & houses with five baths need a service designed for the job, not the minimum the code allows. We size the pipe, limit the fittings & pick the material so the upstairs shower works while the sprinklers run.
Meter pits & hydrants
Meter pits set to grade with a lid that survives a mower. Frost-proof yard hydrants where you need water outside, tied in with a shutoff you can reach in January.
The foundation entry
We stub your water service through the foundation wall by core drilling a clean hole, then seal the sleeve with link seals so the entrance stays waterproof for good.
No hammer drill, no hydraulic cement patch, no damp spot on the basement floor two springs from now.

Locate & size
Utility locates, the route, the elevation change & the fixture count. You get a written quote for a service that will actually deliver.
Dig or bore
Open ground gets trenched below frost. Driveways, streets, trees & finished yards get bored. Tight spots get hydro-vac'd.
Connect, test, inspect
Tap or meter connection, pressure test, the utility or city inspection, backfill & grade. Water on the same day whenever the utility allows it.

Do you tap the water main or does the city?
Depends on the district. Where the utility allows it we make the tap, set the meter pit & run the service. Where the utility insists on making its own tap, we schedule them, dig for them & take it from the meter.
My pressure is terrible at the end of a long drive. Can you fix it?
Usually. Pressure & volume problems on long rural services come from undersized pipe, too many fittings or the wrong material. We design the run for the real distance & the real fixture count, then install it. Big homes with multiple full baths get the same treatment.
Can you replace a service line without trenching the yard?
Most of the time. We directionally bore under driveways, sidewalks, mature trees & landscaping, up to 5-inch pipe & about 300 feet per shot.
How do you bring the line into the house?
We core drill through the foundation wall, sleeve it & seal it with a link seal. That entry stays waterproof. A hammered hole patched with hydraulic cement does not.
Do you fix leaks on the service line?
Yes. We locate the leak, open the spot & repair or replace the section. If the line is old galvanized or failing poly, we'll tell you so you can decide between a repair now & a replacement once.
Do you install yard hydrants?
Frost-proof hydrants for barns, shops, gardens & pools, tied into a properly sized line with a shutoff you can reach.
