California has some of the most varied housing in the country. Pre 1960 bungalows in Los Angeles and the Bay Area often still run galvanized steel. Tract homes from the late 1970s to mid 1990s in the Central Valley and Inland Empire are common polybutylene territory.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects California homeowners with plumbers for whole house repiping, polybutylene pipe replacement and copper repiping. Many Southern California homes are on slabs, so rerouting lines through the attic is a familiar job. Frost depth is shallow in most of the state but deeper in the Sierra and northern mountains. 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 California, from frost depth to permits.

Talk to a person

What is the difference between water line replacement and whole house repiping?

Water line replacement covers the buried service pipe from the meter or curb stop to the house. Whole house repiping replaces the supply lines inside the walls. Older homes often need both because the pipes are the same age.

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.

Who owns the water line between the street and my house?

In most areas the utility owns the line up to the meter or curb stop, and the homeowner owns the rest. Rules vary by city, so it is worth asking your water department.

Can slab leaks be fixed without breaking the floor?

Often the lines under the slab are abandoned and new PEX is rerouted through the attic or walls. That leaves the concrete and flooring alone.
