Idaho has a lot of new construction around Boise, but older homes in the valley and in towns like Pocatello and Twin Falls still carry galvanized steel. Frost depth in much of the state runs about 24 to 36 inches, deeper at higher elevations.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Idaho homeowners with plumbers for main water line replacement, galvanized pipe replacement and PEX repiping. Hard water is common in southern Idaho and leaves scale in older lines and valves. Rural homes on wells often have long runs from the well head to the house. Call (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Common questions about water line replacement in Idaho, 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 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.

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.

Should I replace my main shutoff valve during a repipe?

Yes. An old gate valve often seizes or fails to close fully. A full port quarter turn ball valve is a small addition to a repipe or water line replacement job.
