Portland and older Oregon towns have a lot of homes built before 1960 with galvanized steel supply pipe. Rust scale in those lines is a common cause of weak pressure upstairs and rusty water after a trip away.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Oregon homeowners with plumbers for galvanized pipe replacement, whole house repiping and water line replacement. Soft water in parts of the state can be aggressive toward copper. Frost depth is shallow in the Willamette Valley and deeper east of the Cascades. Call (866) 335-0301.

Why call us for water line replacement

Oregon Homeowners Call Us for Water Line Replacement

Galvanized pipe in older Oregon homes often fails slowly: rusty water, weak pressure, then a leak at a threaded joint. SPB Hydro Plumbing connects you with plumbers who repipe before the walls get wet.

The crew checks the service line too, and replaces it below local frost depth with a new main shutoff. Call (866) 335-0301 about galvanized pipe replacement or whole house repiping.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Common questions about water line replacement in Oregon, 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 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.

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.

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.

Will my walls be torn up during a repipe in Oregon?

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.
