Signs your main water line needs a repair
You have probably seen the pipes under your sink or in your shower, but you probably don’t think about the main line that connects your home to the public water and sewer system. The Main line pulls in a lot of water everyday so you should make sure its in good condition. Here are five signs that point to trouble with your home’s main water line.
Significantly increased water bill
Water bills can vary from month to month based on a lot of different factors. Especially in the summer, when it is hotter outside and water use goes up. But, if your water bill seems extreme or out of the ordinary it could be due to a leak or other damage to the main water line.
Strange sounds coming out of one or more pipes
If multiple pipes around your house have been causing a commotion it could be due to a systematic issue caused by the main water line.
Sinkholes / Cracks in foundation
If you see signs of erosion on your landscaping or damage to your home’s structure it could be from a leak in your main line.
Low water pressure in the faucets
Low water pressure throughout the house can be caused by a magnitude of things, such as a main line clog. Clogs can be caused by household waste, or in some occasions tree root infiltration may occur. If clogs are not properly addressed, pressure will build up and lead to cracks and further damage in the pipes.
Cloudy water
There are many different causes for cloudy water in your home. This can either be a water heater issue or it can be from damaged or worn down pipes. If you’ve been dealing with cloudy water you should have a trained professional check it out.
