What to Expect During a Water Line Installation

Whether in the residential or commercial setting, water line installation is one of the most complex and labor-intensive projects. At Full Excavating, we not only render the services expected of us; we also go the extra mile by educating our clients about everything we do and what they can expect to ensure we are on the same page.

From the leader in water line repair in Tacoma, WA, below are the things you can expect during the installation of water lines.

Underground Rough-In Phase

This is the first and most crucial phase because we determine where the lines will enter the property, pass, and exit. We also connect the pipes to the main water supply and put them in the water meter. Before we start this phase, we must determine where the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room, and other rooms that need water will be. If we are installing the lines in a new property, we place the pipes before the contractors pour the slab. However, if we are repairing a damaged water line, we can dig up the ground to locate the old pipe or use trenchless technology.

Aboveground Rough-In Phase

This is the part of the water line installation where we deal with vent pipes, drains, and other water lines around the property. During this phase, we cut holes in the ceiling, walls, or floors and install the pipes leading to different fixtures. We always test everything after installation and before the contractors close up the walls to ensure they work properly.

The Finishing Phase

After installing and connecting everything, we attach the pipes to the respective fixtures and appliances around the property, like showers, water heaters, dishwashers, washing machines, sinks, and toilets. Whether installing the water lines in a new property or conducting a water line replacement, we finish the process by running the water from all fixtures to ensure there are no leaks.
