How do I replace well over flow pipe?
I have underground plastic piping for well over flow water. The Iron in the water rotted the existing black pipe. It looks like what you would normally use for down spout to run water away from your house. What type of person would do that type of work?

A plumber is the expensive option. Best bet is to call some one who does irrigation like sprinkler systems, etc. That's who I use for my well.
Iron doesn't "rot" corrugated black plastic. Insufficient burial depth and inadequate drainage, combined with freeze/thaw cycles will make polyethylene or PVC corrugated plastic downspout drainage tubing brittle and break from the expansion of the ice. There is a similar looking, but much stronger material that should be used for this job.
Any full service plumber can replace that pipe with synthetic (ABS or CPVC) perforated drainage piping, buried below the frost line with gravel drainage beneath it..
