Copper Repiping in Rochester, IL

Some homeowners want copper and nothing else. It handles heat, it lasts for decades in friendly water, and it is easy to inspect where it runs exposed in a basement.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Rochester, IL homeowners with plumbers who repipe in copper. Inside the house, Type L is the heavier wall and the usual pick for a full repipe. Type M is thinner and cheaper, and some local codes limit where it can go. Joints are soldered with lead free solder or made with press fittings, which need no open flame inside finished walls.

Copper does have one weakness: aggressive water. Low pH, high chlorine or chloramine levels can pit the pipe from the inside and cause pinhole leaks. If your house already had pinholes in copper, a water test before the repipe helps you decide between copper and PEX.

Copper costs more in materials and labor than PEX. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 to compare both for your copper repiping.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Copper Repiping in Rochester, IL.

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