Meter to House Water Line in Washington, DC

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 Washington, DC 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.

How it works

Four steps to water line replacement in Washington, DC

  1. 01

    Describe the pipe

    Tell us what you see: a wet yard, rusty water, low pressure or old gray polybutylene. That points to the service line, the house pipes, or both.

  2. 02

    Talk it through

    We go over the job and the likely scope on the phone, then book a local plumber for Washington, DC.

  3. 03

    Site visit and plan

    The plumber checks the pipe material, the run length and the shutoff, then lays out trench, trenchless or repipe options.

  4. 04

    Work and inspection

    You pay the local plumber directly. The price is agreed before any water line replacement or whole house repiping starts.

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 Washington, DC.

Talk to a person
How do I know if my main water line needs replacement in Washington, DC?
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.
What is the difference between water line replacement and whole house repiping?
Water line replacement covers the buried service pipe from the meter or curb stop to the house. Whole house repiping replaces the supply lines inside the walls. Older homes often need both because the pipes are the same age.
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.
Should I replace my main shutoff valve during a repipe?
Yes. An old gate valve often seizes or fails to close fully. A full port quarter turn ball valve is a small addition to a repipe or water line replacement job.
