Seattle, Tacoma and Spokane all have older neighborhoods with homes built before 1960, and galvanized steel supply pipe is common in them. Soft water west of the Cascades can be aggressive toward copper over time.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Washington homeowners with plumbers for galvanized pipe replacement, whole house repiping and water line replacement. Frost depth is shallow near Puget Sound and often 24 to 36 inches in eastern Washington. Steep lots and glacial till make trenchless methods attractive in some areas. Call (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

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

Talk to a person

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

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.

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.

Should I replace my main shutoff valve during a repipe?

Yes. An old gate valve often seizes or fails to close fully. A full port quarter turn ball valve is a small addition to a repipe or water line replacement job.
