A reliable water supply is essential for both residential and commercial properties. A well-maintained water main ensures consistent pressure, prevents leaks, and safeguards your property’s value. Ben’s Plumbing offers comprehensive water main installation services for homeowners and business owners in the Seattle area.

Material Required

Selecting the right materials for your underground water line installation is crucial for reliability and efficiency. At Ben’s Plumbing, we use top-quality materials to ensure durability and optimal performance for residential and commercial properties.

  • PVC: Affordable and easy to install, PVC is ideal for residential lines due to its lightweight nature and resistance to corrosion. However, it may not suit high-pressure applications or extreme temperatures.
  • Ductile Iron: Preferred for larger projects and commercial applications, ductile iron offers exceptional strength and durability, withstanding high pressures and providing longevity despite its higher cost.
  • HDPE: Flexible and resistant to chemicals, HDPE is suitable for challenging terrain and industrial settings. Its lightweight nature and ease of installation make it a viable option, though it may need additional support in certain soil conditions.

Our experienced team at Ben’s Plumbing works efficiently to minimize disruption to your property while ensuring a thorough and professional installation.

As an owner of a 100+ year old house, I'm well acquainted with plumbers. Ben Foster is the best. Great communication from his office, and he offered to come over the same day when I called because my description of the problem made it sound like an emergency (it wasn't). He showed up at the agreed upon time, and efficiently handled the faucet repair. He also let me know that the original sink stopper mechanism (my term, not his) was much higher value that the replacement I had purchased, recommended I retain it, and told me he would make the original work. Ben is friendly and professional and was a joy to work with.

We needed someone to come out right away. They traveled to our house in practically Renton from Ballard to replace a pipe that was spraying water in the crawl space. They were professional, responsive, thorough and friendly.

"Really nice people, from the office to the field. Our engineer was super helpful and got the repair done quickly, including a trip to the hardware store to get the right part for our quirky old house. I’m bummed that we used a “name brand” service on our recent sewer project - wish I had know about"

Our water heater decided to start leaking at 3pm on a Friday and the team at Ben's Plumbing got back to me quickly, got me a bid that wasnt outrageous, and scheduled me for their first slot on Monday morning. The installers arrived on time, were quick, thoughtful, and did great work. I'd totally recommend Ben's Plumbing to anyone.
