AI visualizationA water-line route from the source to the house.
Plan the route, trench and line, with responsibility for each connection confirmed during the site visit. Free estimates.
Is this the right fit?
AI visualizationA good fit when
- A water line needs to run from the meter or the source to the house
- You are adding a hose bib, an irrigation line or a second structure that needs water
- The existing line runs through a spot that is being regraded or repaved
- You need the trench for the line, not just the pipe
Another service may fit when
- You want interior plumbing work (a plumber handles that part)
- This is a commercial water service
- You want a number without anyone looking at the route

A water-line hookup includes a route, trench, line and connection points. The estimate should state which party handles each part.
What a water-line hookup scope includes.
Scroll the list. The pin shows where each piece lives.
02
Review utility marking
Utility-marking requirements and the proposed route are reviewed before digging.
03
Dig the trench
Cut along the marked route, between the source and the house.
04
Set the line
The water line goes in the trench, run to each connection point.
05
Connection responsibilities
The scope states who handles the meter or source connection and the house connection.
06
Backfill and grade
The trench is filled back in and the surface is graded to match the yard.
Mark the route
Not included: Interior plumbing beyond the point of connection, Work the utility company performs on its own equipment, Permits, where they are required.
Not sure which of these the spot needs? That is what the visit is for.

AI visualizationAI visualizationAI visualizationAI visualizationWhat shapes the estimate.
The estimate reflects route length, existing conditions, access, crossings, connection responsibilities and restoration needs observed during the site visit.
What sets the number
- Length of the routeHow far the line runs from the meter or source to the house.
- What is in the wayLawn is different from a driveway, a walk or a finished bed the trench has to cross.
- What is already buried thereExisting utilities marked along the route can change how and where the trench is cut.
- Who handles each connectionThe visit and written scope should identify which work belongs to Gregorios, the utility, a plumber or another party.
- Related workWhether a drain line or grading is included in the same scope.
Common shortcuts and what they miss.
Responsibility for the route, trench, line and each connection should be clear before work begins.
- Leave trenching and connection responsibilities undefinedThe written scope should identify who handles the route, line and each connection point.
- Dig before utility marking is addressedThe proposed route needs to be coordinated with required utility markings before excavation.
- Skip the trench and lay the line on top of the groundA line left on the surface gets damaged by mowers, foot traffic and freezing weather.

How the visit, estimate and site work are organized.
01
The visit
Gregorio walks the route with you, looks at the meter or source, the house, and what is between them, and writes down the scope.
02
The estimate
Written, for that route. The trench, the line and each connection, with who handles what spelled out.
03
The job
Utility-marking requirements are addressed first. Then the trench and line proceed, followed by the scoped connection work, backfill and grading.
