Galvanized Pipe Replacement in Durand, IL

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 Durand, IL 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 Durand, IL.

Talk to a person
How do I know if my main water line needs replacement in Durand, IL?
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.
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.
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.
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.
