Drywall Access and Patch After Repipe in Chicago, IL

The worry that keeps people from repiping is the walls. A whole house repiping does not mean tearing out rooms. Plumbers open small, square access holes where pipe has to turn or connect, often around 6 by 8 inches, and fish the new line between them.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Chicago, IL homeowners with crews that plan the patch work as part of the job. Openings are cut on clean lines so the original piece can sometimes go back in. Patches are backed, taped, mudded in coats, sanded and textured to match orange peel, knockdown or smooth finish.

Closet walls and the backs of cabinets get used for access where possible, which keeps holes out of living spaces. Paint matching is often left to the owner, since wall colors fade unevenly over the years.

Ask how many openings to expect before the work starts. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301 to plan drywall access and patching for your repipe.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Drywall Access and Patch After Repipe in Chicago, IL.

Talk to a person
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.
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.
Who owns the water line between the street and my house?
In most areas the utility owns the line up to the meter or curb stop, and the homeowner owns the rest. Rules vary by city, so it is worth asking your water department.
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.
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.
