Meter to House Water Line in Martinsville, VA

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 Martinsville, VA 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.

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 Martinsville, VA.

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 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.
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.
