Newark ran one of the fastest lead service line replacement programs in the country, replacing more than 20,000 lines starting in 2019. New Jersey later passed a law requiring water systems to replace lead service lines statewide.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects New Jersey homeowners with plumbers for lead service line replacement, galvanized pipe replacement and whole house repiping. Much of the state's housing was built before 1960, so galvanized steel inside the house is common. Frost depth is often around 36 inches. Call (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Common questions about water line replacement in New Jersey, 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.

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.
