Lead Service Line Replacement in East Canaan, CT

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 East Canaan, CT 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 East Canaan, CT.

Talk to a person
How do I know if my main water line needs replacement in East Canaan, CT?
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.
Will my walls be torn up during a repipe in East Canaan, CT?
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.
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.
