Trenchless Water Line Replacement in Houston, TX

A trench across a mature lawn, a driveway or a paver walk is the expensive part of many service line jobs. Trenchless replacement skips most of it. SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Houston, TX property owners with crews that do pipe bursting and pulled line replacement.

The method is simple to describe. One pit goes near the meter and one near the house. A cable runs through the old pipe, a bursting head splits it, and new HDPE tubing follows behind in one continuous piece with no joints underground. Copper lines are often slit rather than burst.

Trenchless works best on straight runs of 30 to 150 feet. It is less suited to lines with sharp bends, lines that collapsed completely, or yards where gas and electric run close alongside.

Restoration is usually two patches of sod instead of a strip down the yard. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 to ask whether your water line is a candidate for trenchless water line replacement.

How it works

Four steps to water line replacement in Houston, TX

    Talk it through

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

  3. 03

    Site visit and plan

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Trenchless Water Line Replacement in Houston, TX.

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.
Is PEX or copper better for repiping?
PEX costs less, needs fewer wall openings and does not corrode. Copper handles heat well and lasts in friendly water but can pit in aggressive water. Many homes with past pinhole leaks choose PEX.
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.
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.
