Why Underground Water Lines Matter
Our Installation Process
- Site Evaluation & Planning: We start with an on-site consultation to evaluate the terrain, determine line placement, identify obstacles, and assess frost depth. We also check for existing utilities through a full 811 locate.
- Permitting and Compliance: Our team handles all necessary permits and ensures your project meets Clallam County and Washington State regulations regarding setbacks, pipe depth, and material specifications.
- Trenching and Excavating: Using precise trenching equipment, we excavate a narrow, efficient trench that protects the surrounding landscape while ensuring proper slope and grade for water flow.
- Pipe Installation: We use high-quality, pressure-rated materials such as PEX or PVC depending on your specific needs. All joints are properly sealed, and we test the line for leaks and flow before backfilling.
- Backfilling and Grading: After successful pressure testing, we backfill the trench using native soil or gravel as needed, compacting in layers to avoid settling. We finish with careful grading for smooth surface restoration.

FAQs About Water Line Installations
How deep do underground water lines need to be buried in Clallam County?
Water lines must typically be buried at least 24–36 inches deep to stay below the frost line. Our team ensures compliance with all local regulations regarding depth and pipe material.
Can you connect to both municipal water and a private well?
Yes. We install systems that accommodate either source and can include backflow prevention, shutoff valves, and transition fittings for safe, reliable operation.
Do you offer emergency repair or replacement of old water lines?
We do. If you have a damaged or leaking line, we can diagnose the issue, excavate the affected area, and provide full or partial line replacement quickly and efficiently.
What materials do you use for water lines?
We most commonly use high-density polyethylene (HDPE), PEX, and PVC depending on your project scope, water pressure requirements, and budget.
Can you install water lines on sloped or difficult terrain?
Will the installation damage my yard or landscaping?
We use minimally invasive trenching techniques and always restore the area after backfilling. We’re also happy to coordinate with landscapers or regrade the surface as part of the job.
