Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to replace a water main?
The cost of replacing a water main can vary widely depending on factors like the method used and the length of the pipe. We can provide a specific price only after assessing your pipework. Contact us now for a personalised consultation.
How do I know if my water main needs to be replaced?
You may notice:
- Low water pressure or poor flow rates.
- Unexplained increases in your water bill.
- Water pooling in your garden or near the mains connection.
- Discoloured or foul-smelling water.
If you experience any of these issues, it’s time to consider replacing pipes or booking an inspection.
What are the common signs of a failing water main?
These signs indicate that you may need a mains water pipe replacement to restore reliability.
- Persistent leaks or damp spots around your property.
- Rusty or cloudy water from your taps.
- Unusual noises, such as hissing or banging, in the pipes.
- Sudden drops in water pressure.
Is it possible to repair the water main instead of replacing it?
Yes, in some cases, minor repairs can solve the issue. However, older or lead pipes often require a complete water mains replacement to ensure long-term safety and compliance with the lead replacement scheme. If you’re unsure, our local plumbers in London can assess and recommend the best solution.
What is the expected lifespan of a newly replaced water main?
A newly replaced water main can last 50-100 years, depending on the material and installation method. Modern trenchless water main replacement techniques enhance durability while minimising disruption.
Do I need a permit to replace my water main?
Yes, permits are usually required for water main work. We handle the application and ensure compliance with regulations, including providing a WIAPS Certificate after completion. This guarantees that the work meets industry standards.
