Older homes, older pipe
Moorestown mixes houses from the 18th and 19th centuries along and near Main Street with early-20th-century neighborhoods and newer subdivisions. The older the house, the more likely its water service is galvanized or contains lead somewhere between the curb and the basement.
The township water department
Moorestown runs its own water department. Like every system in New Jersey, it must classify service lines and replace lead and galvanized-requiring-replacement services. If you've received notice, they're the first call about their program and schedule.
Inspect before replacing
In older houses, the visible pipe may have been changed during a renovation while the buried section was not. A test pit near the curb stop shows what's actually under the lawn.
Working around mature trees
Big lots with old shade trees are part of Moorestown's character, and a water service often runs right through a root zone. Trenchless pulling between two pits is usually the gentlest option. When a trench is unavoidable, we route it to minimize cutting major roots.
Long front yards
Deep setbacks mean longer service runs. That makes trenchless installation even more valuable, since it avoids opening a long line across a finished lawn.
- Curb-stop test pit
- Trenchless copper pull where feasible
- Careful foundation entry on older walls
- New shutoff, pressure test and inspection
- Lawn, walk and garden restoration
Older foundations
Stone and early block foundations need a careful penetration. We core or open the wall neatly and seal it so it doesn't become a leak point.
Sewer laterals of the same age
If your water line is original, your sewer lateral may be as well. A camera inspection while the yard is open is a worthwhile check.
Permits
We file with Moorestown Township, coordinate with the water department and schedule inspection.
