Water Line Replacement — Done Right by a Local Master Plumber

The water service line running from the street to your house is one of the few pipes in your home that, when it fails, dumps hundreds of gallons an hour under your yard until it's shut off at the curb. Angermeier Plumbing replaces failing water service lines across Bucks and Montgomery County — old galvanized, corroded copper, and cracked poly-B — with new K-copper or high-density polyethylene rated for 50+ years of buried service.

We handle the whole job: PA One-Call marking, township permit, water authority coordination, excavation, new line, tie-in at the meter and stop-and-waste, backfill, and yard restoration.

    Code-compliant new pipe with tracer wire, sized to your fixture unit load and pressure requirements.

  4. 4. Tie in and pressure test

    New shut-off valves, meter connection, and full-system pressure test before backfill.

  5. 5. Restoration

    Backfill, compact, and restore lawn or hardscape. Inspector sign-off included.

Water Line Replacement FAQs

How much does a water service line replacement cost?+

In Bucks and Montgomery County a residential water service line replacement typically runs $3,500–$8,500 depending on length, depth, driveway crossings, and whether trenchless is feasible. Free on-site quotes.

How long does a water line replacement take?+

Most jobs are 1 day on site, with your water shut off for only a few hours. Longer or trenchless jobs may span two days including restoration.

Not usually. Trenchless methods and strategic access pits preserve most of the lawn and hardscape when the site allows it.

Who is responsible — me or the water authority?+

The homeowner is responsible for the line from the curb stop to the house. The water authority owns everything upstream. We coordinate the tie-in with your specific authority.

Yes. We pull the township permit and coordinate the inspection as part of the job — you don't handle any paperwork.
