The Signs Your Water Line Needs To Be Checked

There are some red flags that are common to plumbing repair generally. High water bills are often a tipoff that a leak is happening somewhere in the system. A long, slow drain can indicate clogs. It’s well possible that the problems triggering these warning signs are in the main water line. Other indicators to watch for are these: 

• Failing Water Pressure: Blockages, leaks, or corrosion within the line can restrict the flow of water, leading to decreased pressure. If you notice reduced water flow from faucets, showers, or other fixtures, call our office. 
• Water Is Pooling Up: If you observe areas of standing water in your yard, especially when it hasn't rained recently, it could be a sign of a damaged water line. A leaking or broken water line underground can cause water to seep up through the soil, resulting in pooling or soggy spots in the yard.
• Those Pesky Critters: Unwanted critters, such as rodents or insects, are often attracted to sources of water. If you notice an increase in pest activity around your property, it may be an indication of a leaking or damaged water line. 
• Contaminated Water: If the water coming out of your taps appears cloudy, rusty, or has an unpleasant odor, it could suggest contamination. This can occur if the water line is corroded, allowing impurities or sediments to enter the water supply.
