If you’re considering installing or replacing your water main, hire a licensed plumber. Your home could suffer some serious damage if a pipe bursts or the main line breaks.

You'll want to have a plumber involved in any water main installation or replacement. Before you hire someone to do the work,, be absolutely certain about your changes. It'll be twice as expensive to have the plumber come back and redo the work he or she already did. If you're replacing pipes as well, ask the plumber to use ¾-inch piping. That should keep the water pressure up no matter how many faucets are in use.
