Lead Service Line Replacement in Villanova, PA

Lead service lines were installed in many US cities through the early to mid 1900s, and some cities required them into the 1980s. A lead pipe is dull gray, soft enough to scratch with a key, shows shiny silver where scratched, and a magnet does not stick to it.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Villanova, PA homeowners with plumbers who replace lead service lines. The usual replacement is Type K copper from the curb stop to a new shutoff inside the house. Pulling a new line through the old path with trenchless methods is often possible.

The EPA finalized its Lead and Copper Rule Improvements in 2024, which require most water systems to replace lead service lines over roughly the next ten years. Many cities run programs that cover part or all of the cost of the private side. Ask your water utility before you schedule, since the program may set the timing.

If your line is lead or galvanized downstream of lead, call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Lead Service Line Replacement in Villanova, PA.

Talk to a person
How do I know if my main water line needs replacement in Villanova, PA?
Look for a wet patch in the yard that never dries, a meter that moves with every fixture closed, low pressure at the hose bib, or rusty water. If the line is galvanized, lead or polybutylene, replacement usually beats repair.
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 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.
Will my walls be torn up during a repipe in Villanova, PA?
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.
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.
