Sewer Line and Waterline Replacement: Key Takeaways
- A leaking underground main waterline threatens your entire home's water supply. Watch for telltale indicators like a sudden, unexplained drop in indoor water pressure, a spiking municipal water bill, or unusually lush, soggy wet spots forming in your yard.
- Older properties across Joliet and other areas often rely on obsolete galvanized steel or lead lines. Over time, galvanized piping rusts internally to severely restrict water flow, while lead lines require immediate modernization to durable, safe copper or flexible PEX piping.
- Underground waterline installation requires careful coordination with local utility locators, municipal permitting, and deep frost-line depth compliance. Our licensed PDM technicians handle the entire process from extraction to final pressure testing.

Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement Work in Shorewood, IL
Pipe bursting is an effective way to replace your sewer line without having to tear apart your entire property. This method involves breaking your current damaged or aging pipe and replacing it with new piping.
The process begins with a sewer camera inspection so we can properly assess your current sewer line. Then, we will dig two small holes at both ends of the pipe's location so we can feed a steel cable underground through your sewer line.
Our team of experienced professionals will use the appropriate tools and equipment to simultaneously break apart the old pipes and replace them with new piping.
What Is Trenchless Waterline Replacement?
Our PDM professionals offer trenchless waterline replacement, an affordable and safer alternative to traditional methods that force you to dig up your yard.
Our experts will begin the process by digging two small holes—one where the waterline begins and another where the waterline ends. A new pipe will be placed into the existing pipe, and a tool will help burst the old pipe so it can be completely replaced by the new pipe.
Traditional Versus Trenchless Waterline Replacement
The traditional method for waterline replacement can be costly, and the results aren't as long-lasting. Trenchless waterline replacement is a more affordable option since the labor is less intensive.
With the trenchless method, your property won't be damaged, and you can expect minimal to no disruption. Plus, you can rest assured your waterline won't be negatively impacted. It is a safe and environmentally friendly option that can even result in safer and cleaner water.
