Galvanized Pipe Replacement in Kansas City, MO

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 Kansas City, MO 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.

How it works

Four steps to water line replacement in Kansas City, MO

    The plumber checks the pipe material, the run length and the shutoff, then lays out trench, trenchless or repipe options.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Galvanized Pipe Replacement in Kansas City, MO.

Talk to a person
How deep is a water service line buried?
It has to sit below the local frost line. That can be 12 inches in warm southern areas and 5 feet or more in the northern states. Your local code sets the exact depth.
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.
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.
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.
