Common water Main Issues
If left untreated, problems with your main water line can cause severe damage to your property. Some common issues you should watch for that require professional repairs can include:
- HOLES OR CRACKS: External corrosion from soil or frost can cause holes or cracks to form in the line.
- PRESSURE: Pressure can cause lines to break, resulting in water flowing out of the pipes and to the surface – including on the street, your lawn, or even the basement of your home. This can lead to contaminated water in your house, so your household should stop using water to be safe.
- LEAKY WATER VALVE: Leaky valves can be common issues. Contact a professional to repair or replace the valve if you suspect you have a problem.
