Need to extend your water main to reach a new building, addition, or a different connection point on the city water main? Sewer & Water Pros specializes in water main extensions across all five NYC boroughs. A water main extension involves running new water service pipe — typically copper — from the city water main in the street to your property. This is required for new construction, building additions, properties converting from well water, and situations where the existing water main route needs to be rerouted. We handle the complete process: DEP tap application, DOT street opening permit, excavation from the city main to your building, new copper pipe installation, pressure testing, DEP final inspection, and full street and sidewalk restoration. Our team has completed hundreds of water main extensions in NYC, working through every type of soil condition, around existing utilities, and under busy city streets. We coordinate with Con Edison, National Grid, and other utilities to ensure a safe, efficient installation.
In Queens, our team has completed thousands of water main extension projects across all 93 neighborhoods.

"We had low water pressure for months and finally discovered our water main was corroded through. These guys replaced the entire line from the street to our building in just 3 days. They handled all the DEP paperwork and the DOT permit. Professional crew, fair price, and they cleaned up everything perfectly."

"Before buying our house in Flushing, we hired Sewer & Water Pros to do a sewer camera inspection. They found a partial collapse that the seller didn't know about. This saved us from a $20,000 surprise after closing. Worth every penny — get the inspection before you buy!"
