Colorado service lines have to go deep. Along the Front Range, frost depth is often set around 30 to 36 inches, and mountain towns go deeper still. A shallow line can freeze in a cold snap and crack at the foundation.

The Front Range also has expansive clay soil with bentonite in it. It swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which puts stress on rigid pipe where it enters the house.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

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

Talk to a person

How do I know if my main water line needs replacement in Colorado?

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.

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 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.
