Metro Atlanta added a lot of houses in the 1980s and early 1990s, which puts many of them in the polybutylene window. Older homes in Savannah, Macon and in-town Atlanta neighborhoods often have galvanized steel instead.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Georgia homeowners with plumbers for polybutylene pipe replacement, galvanized pipe replacement and whole house repiping. Georgia red clay holds water and moves with the seasons, which is hard on old couplings in the yard line. Frost depth is shallow, often about 12 inches. Call (866) 335-0301.

Why call us for water line replacement

Georgia Homeowners Call Us for Water Line Replacement

Georgia clay is hard on old water lines. A Georgia home from the 1980s may have polybutylene inside and a yard line that has pulled apart at a coupling. SPB Hydro Plumbing connects you with plumbers who look at both before quoting either.

The crew can do a water line replacement and a whole house repiping in the same week, with one permit process and one set of drywall patches. Call (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

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

Talk to a person

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.

How do I check for a lead service line?

Find the pipe where it enters the house near the meter or main valve. Lead is dull gray, soft, scratches to shiny silver with a key, and a magnet will not stick. Your water utility may also have a record of your line material.

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.

What causes pinhole leaks in copper pipe?

Pinholes usually come from pitting corrosion caused by water chemistry, such as low pH or high chlorine or chloramine, or by high flow speed in small pipe. Repeat pinholes mean the whole run is thinning.

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.
