Comparison
Repair an isolated leak on an otherwise sound line. Replace if the pipe is original galvanized or early plastic, if this is the second leak on the same run, if pressure has already dropped at the house, or if fixing the leak means tearing up hardscape anyway. A meter test and pressure check answer the question.

How it works
Ask whether your line needs repair or replacement, whether the work takes one day, whether permits are included in the price, what the pits will look like, and whether the contractor holds a SC General Contractor license for pipelines. A site visit before any quote is the right approach.

Cost guide
Most residential directional bores around Greenville run $1,500 to $3,500: a water, gas or conduit line pulled under a driveway or across a front yard. Long rural runs land between $4,000 and $12,000, and road bores, creek crossings or rock can push a job past $20,000.
