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.

"Had a lead water main that needed replacement. Sewer & Water Pros replaced it with copper, handled the DEP inspection, and restored our sidewalk and driveway. The whole project took less than a week. Their price was very competitive and the quality of work was outstanding."
James P. — St. George, Staten Island
"Our old clay sewer pipe was crumbling and causing backups every few months. Sewer & Water Pros replaced it with PVC and the difference is night and day. No more backups, no more plumber visits. They were professional, on time, and their price was fair. Great experience from start to finish."
