Every supply line in the house
Leaks that keep surfacing on one floor after another are the case for a whole-house repipe, which replaces every hot and cold line in the house.
Repiping and Water Line Replacement in Cleveland
Low pressure at every tap, rusty water, repeat leaks or a service line you suspect is lead. Call us and we set you up with a plumber to replace the piping in the house or the line from the curb stop.
Repiping help is open to Cleveland houses, doubles and small rental buildings, whether the job is one bathroom or the whole house.
Choosing how much to replace
One part of the house at a time
Replacing the lines to one bathroom or the kitchen during a remodel spreads the work out and fixes the worst runs first.
A new service line from the curb stop
The service line runs from the curb stop in the tree lawn to where the pipe enters your basement. The leak detection page explains which stretch is yours.
Lead service lines in Cleveland
Cleveland Water stopped using lead for city-owned service lines in 1948. The utility adds that even where its own part of a connection is lead, 91% of customers still have a copper customer connection.
Cleveland Water keeps a service line map you can search by address. As of October 2024, the utility says most customer service line material is unknown, so the map may not answer the question for your house.
If you choose to remove a lead service line, Cleveland Water asks you to contact it, and it will remove the city-owned line at the same time if that part is lead. It also offers to replace customer-owned lead lines for free if they are disturbed during its repairs and main replacements.
Permits and the city inspection
Cleveland requires a plumbing permit for new, extended or repaired water service and plumbing systems, and work on water, sewer or gas piping may also need a separate permit from the Division of Water.
Plumbing has to be inspected before it is covered up, and the homeowner must be present for inspections. Anyone can look up a Cleveland permit online without logging in or being the person who filed it.
Before any repipe, a slow leak in old pipe is worth tracing with leak detection. If the heater is due too, a new water heater can go in at the same time; the home page lists every other service.
