Water Line Repair and Replacement in Duluth, MN

Water service projects typically begin with a site visit to determine the source of the problem.

Common signs include unexplained water usage, city notifications regarding excessive consumption, visible leaks near the curb stop, or water entering drain tile systems.

Because restoration costs can often exceed the cost of the utility work itself, our preferred method is typically directional boring. A small access pit is excavated near the curb stop, and a boring system is used to install a new HDPE water service beneath lawns, sidewalks, driveways, and landscaping with minimal disturbance.

Once installed, the new water line is connected at the curb stop and inside the home at the water meter. The work area is then restored and cleaned up.

Common signs you need service
  • Unexplained spike in water usage or utility bill
  • City notification regarding excessive water consumption
  • Visible leak or wet area near the curb stop
  • Water entering drain tile or foundation systems
  • Low water pressure throughout the home

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I know if my water line needs repair?

Low water pressure throughout the home, discolored water, unexplained wet spots in the yard, a water bill that spiked without explanation, or visible corrosion on the service line where it enters the house.

What water line materials are common in Duluth homes?

Galvanized steel in mid-century homes, which corrodes from the inside and restricts flow over time. Copper in homes from the 1960s through 1990s. PEX in newer construction. Galvanized lines are the most common candidate for replacement in the Duluth and Twin Ports area.

Is trenchless water line replacement available in Duluth?

Yes. We offer trenchless options for water line replacement depending on the condition of the existing line and the route it takes. We assess each situation and present all available methods before any work begins.

How much does water line repair cost in Duluth, MN?

Repairs typically start at $5,000 or more. Full replacements range from $10,000 to $15,000 or more depending on line length, material, and access.

How long does water line repair or replacement take?

Most water line repairs are completed in a single day. Replacements may take one to two days depending on scope and site conditions.

Contour was very accommodating with all the home owners insurance issues I had to sort out. They repaired my main sewer pipe (had several cracks in it) with a 50 year warranty liner. Contour's quote was half of ASP as they found a closer access point to the front of the house and inspected all my home pipes determining they were fine and did not need lining. They save people a lot of money by only lining the sq foot of pipes that need it. The crew were very polite and professional. Would definitely recommend and hire them in the future for other services.

Contour Inc. Was able to fix my sewer in a very timely manner so we could sell our house. They dug it up even in February! Very nice to deal with them.

From my initial conversation with Jason to my sewerlining appoint with Troy and his crew, Contour was 5 stars across the board. Everyone I spoke to was professional, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the process. They made it easy in addition to quoting a reasonable price. I would highly recommend anyone in the market for a sewerlining to consider their services.

Contour came out and was willing to work with us on a solution that would fix a leak in a very difficult water main leak. They worked quickly, professionally, and cleanly.

They were able to complete the work faster than expected, and did a great job. We really appreciate their flexibility and ability to get the job done!

Contour is the best! Everyone treats you like an equal human and they are super knowledgeable at what they do. Brian and Co. were kind and honest from the start and very responsive. Everything was done very well and efficiently. They even came back to check on the project and touch up the blacktop they needed to patch in the alley after the job was completed. (Sewer line repair) Really appreciate you! I look forward to working with you again soon, just hopefully on an elective project and not an emergency. ;)

This is a very professional company. Not only did they actually return my request for a quote, they did it rapidly. The inspection was very thorough and was easily done. The quote was very fair, and the installation was amazing! The day of install we made room for their work, and when they left, it was cleaner than when we moved all our stuff! The workers communicated with us during the install, there was never a question about anything. Work was professional, and the out come is a sewar line I won't have to worry about again!

Thanks Contour!
