Curb Stop and Shutoff Valve Replacement in Millbrae, CA

In an emergency you need to turn the water off fast. Many houses have a main shutoff that is an old gate valve, seized in place, or one that turns but never fully closes.

SPB Hydro Plumbing connects Millbrae, CA homeowners with plumbers who replace those valves. Inside the house, the usual swap is a full port brass ball valve, a quarter turn from open to closed. The plumber may add a second valve on the other side of the meter or a pressure reducing valve at the same time.

The curb stop is the valve in a small box near the street or property line, operated with a long curb key. In many towns the utility owns it, so the plumber coordinates with the water department before working on it. A buried box filled with dirt or a broken stem rod is common.

If you cannot find or close your main shutoff, that is worth fixing before a pipe bursts. Call SPB Hydro Plumbing at (866) 335-0301.

Water line replacement FAQs

Questions about water line replacement and whole house repiping

Questions we hear most often about Curb Stop and Shutoff Valve Replacement in Millbrae, CA.

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.
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.
Will my walls be torn up during a repipe in Millbrae, CA?
No. Plumbers cut small access holes where pipes turn or connect, then patch, tape, mud and texture them. Closets and cabinet backs are used where possible.
What causes pinhole leaks in copper pipe?
Pinholes usually come from pitting corrosion caused by water chemistry, such as low pH or high chlorine or chloramine, or by high flow speed in small pipe. Repeat pinholes mean the whole run is thinning.
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.
