Water Line Replacement in Des Moines: what is different here
On Des Moines hillside lots above Puget Sound, the water line may climb a steep yard from the meter to the house. A full trench there is hard on landscaping. We drive I-5 north, about 35 minutes, and replace the line through two small access holes whenever possible, in Woodmont, Redondo and nearby.
