FAQs about Utility Contractor
How much does water or sewer line replacement cost?
Water line replacement from the street to the house typically costs $2,000–$5,000 for a standard 50–100 foot run using open-cut trenching. Sewer line replacement costs $3,000–$10,000 due to greater depth and larger pipe diameter. Trenchless methods (pipe bursting or lining) cost 20–50% more but minimize surface disruption — ideal when the line runs under a driveway, landscaping, or sidewalk. Directional boring for new utility runs costs $10–$25 per linear foot. All utility work requires permits and inspections.
What is directional boring?
Directional boring (horizontal directional drilling or HDD) is a trenchless method for installing underground utilities without open-cut excavation. A steerable drill head bores a pilot hole along a planned path under roads, driveways, landscaping, or structures. The bore is then enlarged and the utility pipe or conduit is pulled through. Directional boring is ideal for installing water lines, sewer lines, gas lines, electrical conduit, and fiber optic cable under obstacles that would be expensive or impractical to trench through. It costs more per foot than open-cut trenching but saves money on surface restoration.
