New 1" Water Service Installed in Healdsburg

New copper water service riser with a ball-valve shutoff where the line enters a stucco house wall, trench still open

What was installed?

A new 1" water service for a home in Healdsburg: the buried line that carries water from the meter to the house, replacing the original pipe after 50 years in the ground.

What does the finished connection look like?

The new line comes up out of the trench into a copper riser with a ball-valve shutoff at the house wall, so the supply can be turned off right where it enters the home.

Why replace a 50-year-old water service?

Because a buried line that old can leak where nobody sees it, and patching one section leaves the rest of the old pipe in the ground. Replacing the full run starts the line over.

Common questions

Questions about Healdsburg work like this

How do I know if my house needs repiping?

The classic pattern is galvanized steel supply piping, common in North Bay homes built before about 1970. It corrodes closed from the inside, so the symptoms are brown or rusty water especially after the house has sat, pressure that has fallen away at upstairs fixtures, and pinhole leaks that start arriving in clusters rather than singly. Repeated pinholes in different places is the signal that patching has stopped being economic.

How long does repiping a house take?

It varies with size, layout and access — a single-storey house on a crawlspace is a different job from a two-storey on a slab. The honest answer is that it is scoped after seeing the property, because the run routing and the amount of wall opening drive it more than the square footage does. We quote it after walking the house, not over the phone.
