Copper Repiping in San Antonio, TX

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 San Antonio, TX 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 San Antonio, 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.
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.
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.
Will my walls be torn up during a repipe in San Antonio, TX?
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.
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.
