Galvanized Pipe Replacement in Lemon Cove, CA

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 Lemon Cove, CA 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 Lemon Cove, CA.

Talk to a person
How do I know if my main water line needs replacement in Lemon Cove, CA?
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.
Is PEX or copper better for repiping?
PEX costs less, needs fewer wall openings and does not corrode. Copper handles heat well and lasts in friendly water but can pit in aggressive water. Many homes with past pinhole leaks choose PEX.
Will my walls be torn up during a repipe in Lemon Cove, CA?
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.
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.
