Water Line Replacement in Lakewood: what is different here
Mid-century Lakewood homes near Oakbrook and Lake Steilacoom often have older buried water lines, and roots from big yard trees can crowd them. Lakewood Water District serves much of the city, and the line past the meter is usually yours. We are about 15 minutes away and use two small holes when possible.

The water line is the buried pipe from the meter to your house. A repipe replaces the supply pipes inside the home. They are separate jobs with separate prices. If both are old, we can check them on one visit and explain which needs work first.
