About the Service

Water Lines & Service Taps, Done Right

We locate the line, dig to expose it and replace failing pipe with new copper or plastic that is suitable for the job, from the meter or tap to the house. We bed the pipe, compact the backfill and restore the surface.

For new builds and outbuildings, we trench new water service, and coordinate with the utility and the plumber on connections and inspections.

Music City Excavation brings water lines & service taps to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

Good to Know

Questions About Water Lines & Service Taps

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

How do I know if my water line is leaking?

Signs include a spike in your bill, wet or soft spots in the yard and low pressure. We can help find and fix the leak.

How deep does a water line go?

Lines are buried below the frost line and to local requirements. We dig to what is required for your area.

Who connects to the meter?

Utility rules differ. Often the utility makes the tap and the contractor does the line. We coordinate so you know who does what.
