New York has old housing and a lot of it. Homes across upstate cities like Rochester, Syracuse and Buffalo often have lead or galvanized service lines, and many were built before 1940. New York City has older row houses and walkups with similar pipe.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects New York homeowners with plumbers for lead service line replacement, galvanized pipe replacement and whole house repiping. Frost depth upstate is often around 48 inches. Basement entries and tight access are common in older buildings. Call (866) 335-0301 about water line replacement.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Common questions about water line replacement in New York, from frost depth to permits.

Talk to a person

How do I know if my main water line needs replacement in New York?

Look for a wet patch in the yard that never dries, a meter that moves with every fixture closed, low pressure at the hose bib, or rusty water. If the line is galvanized, lead or polybutylene, replacement usually beats repair.

How long does a whole house repipe take?

Most occupied homes take two to five days, depending on size, number of bathrooms and access. Water is usually restored at the end of each work day.

Can a water line be replaced without digging up my yard?

Often, yes. Trenchless pipe bursting uses two small pits, one near the meter and one near the house, and pulls new HDPE through the old path. It works best on fairly straight runs.

Will my walls be torn up during a repipe in New York?

No. Plumbers cut small access holes where pipes turn or connect, then patch, tape, mud and texture them. Closets and cabinet backs are used where possible.

Why is my water pressure low only in some rooms?

When pressure is fine at the hose bib but weak upstairs or at one fixture, rust scale inside galvanized pipe is the usual cause. A gauge test and a check of the pressure reducing valve come first.
