Galvanized Pipe Replacement in Cave In Rock, IL

Galvanized steel was standard supply pipe in houses built before about 1960. It is gray, threaded at every joint, and a magnet sticks to it. After 50 years or more, the inside of the pipe fills with rust scale until a 3/4 inch line carries the flow of a straw.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Cave In Rock, IL homeowners with plumbers who replace galvanized pipe with PEX or copper. The usual complaints are weak pressure upstairs, rusty water after the house sits for a few days, and leaks at threaded joints where the wall of the pipe is thinnest.

Partial jobs are common and rarely last. Replacing one section can knock scale loose into the rest of the system. Where steel meets copper without a dielectric union, the joint corrodes faster.

Most galvanized houses need the service line looked at too, since it is usually the same age. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 about galvanized pipe replacement and whole house repiping.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Galvanized Pipe Replacement in Cave In Rock, IL.

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.
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.
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.
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.
Can slab leaks be fixed without breaking the floor?
Often the lines under the slab are abandoned and new PEX is rerouted through the attic or walls. That leaves the concrete and flooring alone.
