Trenchless Water Line Replacement in Philadelphia, PA

A trench across a mature lawn, a driveway or a paver walk is the expensive part of many service line jobs. Trenchless replacement skips most of it. SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Philadelphia, PA property owners with crews that do pipe bursting and pulled line replacement.

The method is simple to describe. One pit goes near the meter and one near the house. A cable runs through the old pipe, a bursting head splits it, and new HDPE tubing follows behind in one continuous piece with no joints underground. Copper lines are often slit rather than burst.

Trenchless works best on straight runs of 30 to 150 feet. It is less suited to lines with sharp bends, lines that collapsed completely, or yards where gas and electric run close alongside.

Restoration is usually two patches of sod instead of a strip down the yard. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 to ask whether your water line is a candidate for trenchless water line replacement.

    We go over the job and the likely scope on the phone, then book a local plumber for Philadelphia, PA.

  3. 03

    Site visit and plan

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Trenchless Water Line Replacement 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.
Who owns the water line between the street and my house?
In most areas the utility owns the line up to the meter or curb stop, and the homeowner owns the rest. Rules vary by city, so it is worth asking your water department.
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.
