Water pipe can be pulled

This is a kind of post I'd love to add to this blog, because it is highly relevant. Home repair! Water! And we all know what happens with Tracy soils even with minimal water leak. Houses can tilt quite a bit... Anyway, the money quote:

I recently had a plumber come and replace the leaky polybutlyene pipe between my house and the street with non-leaky copper pipe. This fortunately didn't require ripping up the entire driveway but rather digging two holes—one at each connection—and pulling the new pipe between them.
