Meter to House Water Line in Philadelphia, PA

In most places, the utility owns the pipe up to the meter or curb stop, and the homeowner owns everything from there to the house. That private side is the stretch most people end up paying to replace.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Philadelphia, PA homeowners with plumbers who replace the meter to house line. The work covers a new tap at the meter yoke or curb stop outlet, the run across the yard, a sleeve where the pipe passes through the foundation, and a new main shutoff inside.

Pipe size is the decision that gets skipped. A 3/4 inch line was fine for one bathroom in 1960. A house with three bathrooms, a lawn sprinkler and a tankless water heater often does better with 1 inch. Long runs lose pressure fast in small pipe.

Your meter box and permits are checked before any digging. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 about your meter to house water line replacement.

How it works

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Meter to House Water Line in Philadelphia, PA.

Talk to a person
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.
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.
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.
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.
