Minnesota has some of the deepest frost in the lower 48, often 60 inches or more in the north. Water service lines go deep, and a line that froze once tends to freeze again if it was buried shallow.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Minnesota homeowners with plumbers for main water line replacement, curb stop replacement and whole house repiping. Older homes in Minneapolis, St. Paul and Duluth often have galvanized steel, and some older city blocks still have lead service lines. Call (866) 335-0301 about water line replacement.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

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

Talk to a person

How do I know if my main water line needs replacement in Minnesota?

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.

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.

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.
