Removing the main water line

Question

At what point should I remove the main water line for my property? How can I tell when this is needed?

Ray · Accepted Answer

Mains water pipes would only need to be changed if it is lead or if there is a leak

Mick · Answer

Not sure what you mean? Are you referring to the LEAD pipe coming into the house or are you talking about turning off your stop cock ?.

Paul · Answer

Consider exchanging your water supply pipe if you are suffering with low water pressure, have or had a burst pipe as it will reoccur. Have a current lead or galvanised steel water pipe as both of these materials become rotten over the years.

Graham · Answer

If you have a lead water main it is a good idea to remove and renew normally with a blue 25ml plastic pipe

Luke · Answer

Ideally to the internal stop cock. Unless you are renewing the main line then you would need an accessible working external stop tap

Jack · Answer

You should remove the water line if it is in lead due to lead poisoning , or if your water pressure is poor so renewing the main to plastic will more than likely increase the pressure

You haven't provided enough information to give a sensible answer?
Presumably, you are referring the 'water main' feeding your house?
Perhaps you can provide more detail what is you want to do it and why.
