home WATER main LINE replacement from meter to house DIY 

looks easy, do you need any permits to do it yourself at your home?

I'm amazed at your ability to just sketch in 3-D

Thanks for the video. I don’t have a broken water line but my water company is offering me an insurance so I was looking into this video and I think I can do this myself. 💪💪💪

Nice job and you are a pretty good artist too! Thanks for sharing. Slainte, DC

Thank you for this video. I had never done this work before but I now see how easy it is. Thank you again!

Excellent job and pictures! You explained everything in detail! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!

Incredibly insightful - I really appreciate the step by step diagram with annotations. As an architectural designer, these items are typically left to our engineers to define, so your walkthrough helped me piece together a lot of gaps in my knowledge. Thanks for the breakdown!

We charge 120$ per foot to run new water service lines.... you saved a shit ton.

Whenever you're replacing your main water line under ground with anything other than copper. You must add a copper ground line beside it. Good Video

Thanks for the video! Great job I recently had to do the same but I ended up going with Pex B due to freak freezing times here in Texas.

Awesome video, Chris! Thank You!!

Very helpful video mate. Nice work. Thanks.

Excellent video dude.......

Thank you for detail introduction. your drawing is amazing

Wondrous. Thank you for sharing. 💙💛

Just had to do this exact job on my house. Water company changed the meter and it messed up the old pipes on my side. Only difference is i had a cement slab about a foot wide and 4 inches deep to treverse. Plus, my landlord went with flex PVC. Not sure if It'll last. Ive been hearing negative reviews about it

Great job and explanations!!

like the drawings.

you def saved more than $1k, my meter is closer than yours and they wanted to charge me $1k just to fix the leak and almost $2k to replace all the pipe...no sir.

Excellent! Thank you!

awesome work

Exactley what I needed to know. Thank you!

could easily put a Spindown ISPRING wsp100 minimum at point of entry after your valve for access- Keeps the big grains of sand etc. ruining all things further inside. You can purge it every few months and be amazed. All filter after it will thank you.

That's a mans work there. Thank you for the info.

Excellent video. thanks.

The part where you burned yourself 😂😂😂😂 great job tho budy. I was thinking about buying a cabin built in 1930 the pipes are galvanized and I’m sure the line to the water main is gonna need to be replaced

Awesome. Thank you!

Great. I have this leak on the pipe, been looking for it all over the house but none is visible. The way bill has recently rose to 575 from 100, I guess the leakage is on the pipe leading to the house.

Omg!!! Thanks so much for the insight!!

GREAT instructional-video indeed, Brother Chris - well explained. Plus, I really liked seeing the VERY cute lil Kitty that jumped out at 8:55min! Did you allow cute lil Kitty to help you too!? 😺

At least you have a straight shot mine has prob 3 90 degree turns and goes under foundation into crawl space I have valve in house shut off now to see if it's something leaking in house plumbing or between house and outside meter.

Mine is different the meter is in the basement but I am responsible on red that you draw, from corporation stop and on is theirs.

90s are ok on supply lines. 2 45s is a good idea on drain pipes where there are solids trying to make that 90 degree turn. Just wanted to mention that, not trying to be argumentative

should run wire along the new pvc so that pipe can be detected from surface in future years

where can you connect to the house? Would same line as hoes bib work? Run from meter to hose bib and connect it there?

Thank you

I would’ve test no leak before covering with dirt

Hey guys, anyone know what the adapter you put onto the water nipple called pls?

How long did it take for you to complete this project? Good job!

there was a storm where i live but i think there’s a leak in the waterline but i think it’s on the city side. is there any way to tell without digging?

why dont you use pex?

Do you not have to have a water pressure regulator from main line to house?

Can you post a link to the pvc cement you used?

Could you use PEX

You back fill everything before making sure the new line didn’t leak?

No 90* ?

If you dont mind me asking, what state are you located? My meter is very similar to yours. I dont have a shut off besides the one at the meter and its "required" to call them to shut off. I bought a water key but is hard to shut off and Ilm affraid to apply pressure to turn it. I need to install my own shut off and might as well get rid of the galvanized water lines while Im at it. Just wondering if the depth of mine would be deeper living in a colder state. Im in Indiana and it can get quite cold here. It's like -5 right now in the am hours.

No prv?

Nice job. But I like pex

lot of boroughs won't allow you to tap into the main with drills and it's done by hand with a tap machine. not my favorite part of work

I knew a guy named Chris Craft in high school. Ironically, he died in a boating accident.

Great video, Chris. Thank you!

Awesome. Thank you!!
