Nebraska frost depth is often around 42 to 48 inches, so a water line replacement means a deep trench or a trenchless pull. Older homes in Omaha and Lincoln often have galvanized steel inside, and Omaha has older neighborhoods with lead service lines.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Nebraska homeowners with plumbers for lead service line replacement, galvanized pipe replacement and whole house repiping. Hard water across much of the state leaves scale in older pipe. Farm homes on wells often have long buried runs. Call (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Common questions about water line replacement in Nebraska, from frost depth to permits.

Talk to a person

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 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.

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.
