Lead Service Line Replacement in Hope, RI

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 Hope, RI 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 Hope, RI.

Talk to a person
How long does a whole house repipe take?
Most occupied homes take two to five days, depending on size, number of bathrooms and access. Water is usually restored at the end of each work day.
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.
Will my walls be torn up during a repipe in Hope, RI?
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.
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.
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.
