When you need a water main replacement, it is serious business. You need someone who is equipped to handle it quickly and properly.

We always work hard to try and make the repair as seamless as possible, so your water usage goes largely uninterrupted.
A water main replacement requires that you excavate around the water main under the street and at the place where the water connects to your house or apartment building. This means that a water main replacement could affect your neighbors as well. This could occur when connections are in close proximity, or properties are semi-attached. Perhaps by fixing your water main, we can improve others’ water pressure at the same time. This is especially true for apartment buildings where more than one unit is affected by the same water main service line.
Before we even excavate, we will need to determine the required size of your water main. This is done by tabulating the total plumbing fixtures in the building. Other factors such as the length of the run are all combined to determine the correct size of the new line. We will then replace the existing line with a pipe of similar size or greater size. We will take care of all the nuts and bolts of the project and make sure that your pipe is fitted properly to avoid further issues.
We will reconnect the water main using new code compliant fittings, and make sure that it functions properly. You should notice a return, or increase, in water pressure immediately. We will then close everything up and resurface the area that we excavated. We leave no stone unturned when working a water main replacement.
Since 1952, we have been specialists in water main replacement, and we understand the intricacies of the job. Contact Balkan Sewer And Water Main Specialists for more information and get your water main replacement done right the first time.
