Meter to House Water Line in San Francisco, CA

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 San Francisco, CA 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.

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 San Francisco, CA.

Talk to a person
How do I know if my main water line needs replacement in San Francisco, CA?
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.
Can a water line be replaced without digging up my yard?
Often, yes. Trenchless pipe bursting uses two small pits, one near the meter and one near the house, and pulls new HDPE through the old path. It works best on fairly straight runs.
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.
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.
