The water lateral is what connects the main water supply from the city or a private well system to the water lines inside a house. Each municipality has its own rules on who takes responsibility for what portions of this line if damage occurs and repairs are needed. Water laterals can sometimes develop leaks from pipe corrosion or other damage-causing factors after many years of service. If that happens, it becomes a top priority to establish where the division of responsibility lies for the repair. Works Plumbing has the experience, equipment, and technicians to make short work of most water lateral repair jobs. We have installed new water laterals for new home construction and performed countless repair and replacements on existing homes. Call Works Plumbing right away if you suspect a leak or other damage has occurred to your water lateral.
