NEW HAVEN PLUMBING SERVICE
Water line repair and replacement in New Haven, CT
Low pressure, a soggy yard or a leak where the line comes in? Licensed plumbers repair and replace water service lines.
Updated September 2026 · New Haven, CT
Your water service line runs from the curb to your house. In older New Haven neighborhoods, a lot of those lines are galvanized steel or even lead, and decades underground wear them out.
When one starts leaking or narrows with corrosion, you get low pressure, rusty water or a wet patch in the yard. Call and we'll test the line and repair or replace it.

Signs you need water line repair
- Low water pressure throughout the house
- A wet or sunken spot in the yard with no rain
- Rusty or discolored water
- Water leaking where the line comes through the foundation
- A water bill jump with no leak inside the house
What to do right now
- Check whether the pressure problem is every faucet or just one.
- If water is leaking at the foundation, shut the main off.
- Look for soggy spots between the street and the house.
- Ask the Regional Water Authority whether your service line is listed as lead.
- Call us to test the line and quote a repair or replacement.
What it costs
A spot repair costs far less than replacing the whole line. Full replacement depends on the length, depth and pipe material. Get a written quote before any digging starts.

Questions we hear a lot
Who owns the water line, me or the water company?
The water company owns the main under the street. The service line on your property is usually the homeowner's to repair.
Should I replace an old galvanized or lead water line?
Yes. Galvanized lines corrode and choke pressure, and lead lines are a health risk. Check the Regional Water Authority's service line map first, since its program plans to replace lead and qualifying galvanized lines at no direct cost by 2037.
