Galvanized Pipe Replacement in Sitka, AK

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 Sitka, AK 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 Sitka, AK.

Talk to a person
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 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 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.
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.
How do I get a water line replacement quote in Sitka, AK?
Call (866) 335-0301 and describe the pipe material, the length of the run and what you are seeing. A plumber can then look at the site and price the work.
