These issues will be present in both your hot and cold water.

If you’re opting to have your main water supply line replaced, or pipe lining is not possible for your situation, then there are a couple of options you’ll have. The traditional method of replacing a main water line involves digging a large trench through the length of your property and physically removing your current piping. New piping can then be laid down in its place. A newer method that most homeowners prefer is called trench-free water line replacement. With trench-free replacement, a plumber can install a new main water line without demolition, simply by feeding a new line through a solitary hole in your yard.
