Lead Service Line Replacement in Hearne, TX

Lead service lines were installed in many US cities through the early to mid 1900s, and some cities required them into the 1980s. A lead pipe is dull gray, soft enough to scratch with a key, shows shiny silver where scratched, and a magnet does not stick to it.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Hearne, TX homeowners with plumbers who replace lead service lines. The usual replacement is Type K copper from the curb stop to a new shutoff inside the house. Pulling a new line through the old path with trenchless methods is often possible.

The EPA finalized its Lead and Copper Rule Improvements in 2024, which require most water systems to replace lead service lines over roughly the next ten years. Many cities run programs that cover part or all of the cost of the private side. Ask your water utility before you schedule, since the program may set the timing.

If your line is lead or galvanized downstream of lead, call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Lead Service Line Replacement in Hearne, TX.

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 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.
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.
Will my walls be torn up during a repipe in Hearne, TX?
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.
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.
