Before you hire
Main water line replacement in Metro Detroit
The water service line runs from the curb stop to your house. Old galvanized, lead or leaking lines cause low pressure, wet spots in the yard or basement leaks. Replacement is done by trenching or by boring a new line underground with little digging.
If the line is lead, see lead service line replacement first, since your water utility may have a program. For pipes inside the home, see whole house repiping.
What a proper job includes
- Locating the line and curb stop
- MISS DIG 811 utility marking
- New copper or approved plastic service line
- Trenching or directional boring
- New main shutoff inside the home
- Permit, inspection and cleanup
What drives the price
- Length and depth of the line
- Trench or boring
- Driveways, walks or trees in the path
- Work in the right of way
- Meter or shutoff relocation

Permits and licensing in Michigan
Replacing a water service line needs a plumbing permit and often coordination with your water utility for the curb stop and meter. Utilities must be marked through MISS DIG 811. Check the plumbing license on the LARA lookup.
