Milwaukee has one of the largest counts of lead service lines in the country, and the city runs a replacement program. Madison replaced its lead lines years ago. Many older Wisconsin homes also have galvanized steel inside.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Wisconsin homeowners with plumbers for lead service line replacement, galvanized pipe replacement and whole house repiping. Frost depth is often around 48 to 60 inches, so new service lines are deep digs. Hard water across much of the state adds scale to old pipe. Call (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

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

Talk to a person

How can I tell if I have polybutylene pipe?

Polybutylene is flexible gray or blue plastic, often stamped PB2110, found in many homes built from about 1978 to 1995. Check near the water heater, under sinks and where the main enters the house.

Do I need a permit for water line replacement?

Most cities require a plumbing permit for service line replacement and whole house repiping, plus an inspection before the trench is backfilled or walls are closed.

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.

How do I get a water line replacement quote in Wisconsin?

Call (866) 335-0301 and describe the pipe material, the length of the run and what you are seeing. A plumber can then look at the site and price the work.
