    they can mole under the house otherwise terraced house would have no way of getting back to the back of the house
    also check out www.watersafe.org.uk that have a seach engine that allows you to plug in your address and will show you approved contractors in your area. would always advise getting 3 quotes.
    also bristol water used to do a free lead or iron replacement pipe so if you replace yours they will replace their pipe and stop tap in the road at the same time so all new pipework.

    There's no need to dig down to remove all the old supply pipe: they simply lay a new one by the easiest route and reconnect to that. A bit like building a bypass...
    If you get a burst supply pipe within the property then the bills could be a lot higher for the ensuing damage, so be glad they found it.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
