If there is a clog or break in your water main, it will affect the water pressure throughout your home, usually causing it to decrease. When a clog or break is present, less water is able to move through the pipe, and therefore not able to make it to your fixtures. Decreased water pressure is a very common sign of a broken water main, so make sure to call our team if your water pressure is low!
Has your monthly water bill randomly increased? If it has and you notice any of the other symptoms on this list, you could potentially have a clog or break in your pipe. When there is a break in the line, it will often waste excess water, causing an unexpected increase on your monthly utility bill.
If you have wet patches or pools of vibrant grass throughout your lawn, you probably have a water main break. Pooling water and a foul odor from the water is an almost indisputable indication that your water main has suffered a break. In this event, call (724) 364-8312 immediately for expert assistance before any extensive damage occurs to your home or water line.
When a water main line breaks, dirt and debris can get inside of the pipe and eventually your water supply. Because main lines are underground, toxic and hazardous objects can leak into your water supply, causing your family to potentially fall ill. If you notice that the water from your sinks, bathtubs, and drains appears to be different in color or odor, you may have yourself a water main break.
Another major red flag that your water main requires repair is odd, loud noises coming from your plumbing while not in use. If you notice water moving around or other various plumbing noises while these appliances are not being used, there is a major issue with your water line that needs to be resolved.
Finally, if you notice that many of your toilets, sinks, or shower drains are constantly getting clogged no matter how much snaking or store-bought drain cleaner you use, your water line is either clogged or broken. This can also happen if your sewer line is clogged or broken as well. Either way, you will need to bring in our experts to resolve the issue.
Summer is a popular season for water line repairs because the warmer weather makes it easier for our pros to excavate and access underground pipes. Additionally, increased water usage during the summer, such as for irrigation and outdoor activities, can put extra strain on aging or damaged water lines, revealing issues that need urgent attention.
Common signs of water line issues include an unexpected increase in your water bill, low water pressure, water pooling in your yard, or unusual damp spots. If you notice any of these, it’s essential to contact (724) 364-8312 for an inspection.
Costs for water line repairs are generally consistent year-round. However, the Western PA summer season may offer faster service times since milder weather conditions allow repairs to be completed more efficiently compared to colder months. Your Lawrence Plumbing, Heating and Cooling technician will provide you with an accurate quote before any repairs begin!
Regular maintenance, such as inspecting for leaks, keeping tree roots away from your water line, and reducing excess irrigation can prevent major problems. Installing pressure regulators can also help manage increased summer water usage.
The duration of a water line repair depends on the severity of the issue. Simple repairs may take a few hours, while more complex cases requiring pipe replacement could take a couple of days. Summer’s favorable weather conditions often allow faster completion times compared to winter. Be sure to ask your Lawrence Plumbing, Heating and Cooling team for a project timeline estimate, so you have an idea of how long your water line repair may take.
Yes, addressing water line problems promptly ensures you avoid further damage, premature replacements, or costly water waste. Summer may also be best to handle any repairs before the demands of colder weather set in, so be sure to contact us today!
