Signs You May Need to Replace or Repair Your Water Line
The following issues may signify a problem with your water main:
Drops in water pressure
The faucets in your showers, tubs, and sinks should all have a steady flow. If your pressure is reduced for a prolonged period of time, there could be a leak or break somewhere along the main line.
Water backflow
When you experience a reverse flow of water or other substance into your treated water supply, that’s problematic. Backpressure and back-siphonage are two types of backflow, and both can cause contamination and other issues.
Tree root intrusion
If your line runs beneath or near a large tree or other plants, the roots can burrow into the main line, blocking or breaking the connection and impacting the water supply.
Standing water or soggy spots in your yard
If your lawn or soil is sporting puddles or wet areas, and you haven’t experienced rain recently, it’s likely the water line is cracked or leaking beneath the surface in that area.
Water discoloration
If you turn on a faucet and the water has a rust-brown tint, it could be due to corrosion or dirt and soil entering through cracks.
Poor drainage
If water is draining slower than usual, that also indicates a problem. More often, it is the result of buildup or blockage, but you still should get an inspection and potentially replace your line.
