Florida built a huge number of homes between the late 1970s and mid 1990s, and polybutylene was standard in many of them. Some insurers in the state ask about it by name when writing or renewing a policy.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Florida homeowners with plumbers for polybutylene pipe replacement and whole house repiping. Most Florida homes sit on slabs, so new PEX usually goes through the attic. There is no frost to worry about, but sandy soil, high water tables and tree roots all affect the service line. Call (866) 335-0301 about water line replacement.

Why call us for water line replacement

Florida Homeowners Call Us for Water Line Replacement

If your insurer has asked about polybutylene, you likely need proof the pipe is gone. SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Florida homeowners with plumbers who complete polybutylene pipe replacement and leave you with permit records you can hand to an agent.

Most Florida work is an attic reroute in PEX on a slab home, with the new lines kept under the insulation. The crew also checks the service line from the meter, since many are the same age as the house. Call (866) 335-0301 about whole house repiping.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

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

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.

Why is my water pressure low only in some rooms?

When pressure is fine at the hose bib but weak upstairs or at one fixture, rust scale inside galvanized pipe is the usual cause. A gauge test and a check of the pressure reducing valve come first.

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.

Can slab leaks be fixed without breaking the floor?

Often the lines under the slab are abandoned and new PEX is rerouted through the attic or walls. That leaves the concrete and flooring alone.
