Kentucky housing in Louisville, Lexington and the river towns includes a lot of homes built before 1960 with galvanized steel supply lines. Some older city neighborhoods were also served by lead service lines.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Kentucky homeowners with plumbers for galvanized pipe replacement, lead service line replacement and whole house repiping. Frost depth in Kentucky is often around 24 inches. Limestone bedrock sits close to the surface in parts of the state, which can slow trenching and make trenchless methods attractive. Call (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

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

Talk to a person

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.

How deep is a water service line buried?

It has to sit below the local frost line. That can be 12 inches in warm southern areas and 5 feet or more in the northern states. Your local code sets the exact depth.

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.

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.
