Service Overview
Water Line Replacement With Clear Answers Before Work Begins
Water lines don't last forever. Galvanized steel corrodes. Polybutylene fails. Even newer materials degrade over decades of use, ground movement, and chemical exposure. When your water line is at the end of its life, replacement is the most cost-effective solution — and waiting for a failure makes it far more expensive.
Lapin Services provides licensed water line replacement for residential and commercial properties throughout Orlando and Central Florida. We assess your current line, recommend the right replacement approach, and handle the installation with minimal disruption to your landscaping and property.
Problems We Solve
Common Water Line Replacement Problems We Fix
You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself. These are common issues we help confirm, explain, and repair.
Aging or Non-Code-Compliant Water Line Material
Homes with galvanized steel or polybutylene water lines are living with a known failure risk. These materials should be replaced proactively — before a burst or chronic leak causes damage.
Persistent Water Pressure Problems
Chronically low pressure throughout the home, or pressure that has gradually declined over time, can indicate an aging line with internal corrosion or a restrictive pipe diameter.
Recurring Water Line Leaks
A line that has been repaired multiple times — or develops new leaks regularly — is signaling end-of-life failure. At that point, replacement is more economical than continued repair.
Water Quality Issues Caused by Corroding Pipes
Rust-colored water, metallic taste, or discoloration that can't be explained by the municipal supply often traces back to a corroding galvanized water service line.
Water Line Damage From Construction or Ground Movement
Significant physical damage — from accidental excavation, soil settlement, or tree root intrusion — sometimes makes full replacement more practical than section repair.
When to Call
Signs Your Sitework Project Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these signs, call Lapin. We will find the cause and explain what needs to happen next.
Your Water Line Is Made of Galvanized Steel or Polybutylene
Both materials are known to fail and are no longer code-approved for new installation. If yours hasn't been replaced yet, doing it proactively protects you from a future emergency.
Your Water Bill Has Increased Without Explanation
An unexplained spike in water usage that doesn't match your habits often indicates a slow underground leak in the service line — one that will worsen until replaced.
You Have Rust-Colored or Discolored Water
Water that runs brown or has a metallic taste at startup — especially in an older home — suggests your service line is corroding from the inside and contaminating the supply.
Your Water Line Has Been Repaired More Than Once
Repeated repairs on the same line usually signal that the entire line is deteriorating. Replacement is typically more cost-effective than the next round of repairs.
You're Renovating an Older Home
A major renovation is the ideal time to replace an aging water line — before walls and landscaping are restored, minimizing the disruption of access.

FAQs
Water Line Replacement FAQs
How long does water line replacement take?
Most residential water line replacements are completed in one day. Commercial or larger projects may take longer depending on line length and complexity. We’ll give you a clear timeline before starting.
Will you need to dig up my yard?
The extent of excavation depends on the line’s location and depth. We plan access points carefully to minimize landscaping disturbance and restore the site after completion.
Do you handle permits for water line replacement?
Yes. We manage permits, coordinate required inspections, and close out the permit file as part of the replacement project.
What type of pipe do you use for replacement?
We use current code-compliant materials — typically PVC or HDPE — selected based on the application, local code, and site conditions. We don’t use materials with known failure histories.
Do you serve all of Orlando and Central Florida?
Yes. We serve Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida region.
