Maine frost runs deep, often around 48 to 60 inches, and a water line that is not buried below it will freeze. Many homes are older, with galvanized steel or early copper inside, and a large share are on private wells.

Soft, acidic well water is common in Maine and can pit copper from the inside, leading to pinhole leaks. SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Maine homeowners with plumbers for pinhole leak copper repipe, whole house repiping in PEX and water line replacement from the well or street. Call (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

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

Talk to a person

What is the difference between water line replacement and whole house repiping?

Water line replacement covers the buried service pipe from the meter or curb stop to the house. Whole house repiping replaces the supply lines inside the walls. Older homes often need both because the pipes are the same age.

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.

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 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.

Will my walls be torn up during a repipe in Maine?

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.
