There are various methods ways to perform an underground water line replacement. Each of these methods comes with an associated cost, and risks.
Not every underground replacement job is the same, so it’s best to understand what method is right for this job and the unique challenges and features it presents.
Using short pieces of pipe, along with compressed air to blow the dirt out from the tunnel creates a space just large enough to slide a new copper line through.
Piece by piece the pipe is installed, with the compressed air blowing the dirt out which eliminates any chance of underground utility line damage.
This method also requires very little excavation which reduces the amount of labor needed, and in turn, keeps the cost down.
Another method used to perform underground water line replacement work is pipe bursting. This method bursts the old line, by essentially enlarging it and using the old line as a conduit to pull through the new water service line. But, pipe bursting does have its drawbacks, particularly in the NYC area.
There are also pipe pulling and boring methods for water line replacement and installation work. These methods come in particularly handy when damaging sensitive or valuable finished surfaces must be avoided.
While the set-up time, and size of the sending pits may pose a challenge, frequently the benefits outweigh these challenges. Directional boring and pipe pulling can allow for water line installations with a minimal amount of excavations.

George is an outstanding tech-plumber. You should be proud to have him. He was well informed and gave me tips on how to avoid problems with my storm drain. I have had many clogs in the past removed, but none as effieciently done as this one. 5 stars plus.
I had a bad odor in my house coming from the sewer line for years. Hired plumber after plumber. Called Balkan as a last resource. They were prompt to come, diagnose the issue and provide a quote. Workers arrived on time and were professional, polite and respectful. They worked straight until the problem was solved. I will be forever grateful. Highly recommend.
Max was incredibly thorough, polite, efficient, and knowledgeable. As a new homeowner, I had a lot of questions that he was ready and willing to answer. He also offered me a lot of advice about general maintenance that was extremely helpful and also suggested other services that I should purchase to protect my sewer system. I could not have asked for a better experience; it was simply terrific on all counts.
