The Signs of a Compromised Water Line
For most homes, your water line will be buried underground. This can make it difficult to tell when your water line has become damaged, corroded, or outdated. If you suspect you have a problem with your water line, the best course of action is to call a team of qualified experts, like Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Van Nuys, to inspect your water line. Our diagnostic team can help you assess the condition of your water line and determine whether it needs to be replaced or not. If your water line is compromised, you might notice many signs, such as:
Unusually High Water Bills
When your water line has a crack or leak, it will constantly wastewater, resulting in an unusually high water bill.
Reduced Water Pressure
If you notice a mysterious drop in your home’s water pressure, you might have a damaged water line. Leaks and cracks allow pressure to escape pipes, reducing the water pressure in your faucets and showerheads.
Rusty or Discolored Water
Aging water lines can begin to rust or corrode. When that happens, you might notice discoloration in your water. This is a sign that your water line needs to be repaired or replaced as soon as possible.
Strange Noises
Bubbling, banging, or clanging indicates that your water line may be damaged.
Soggy Sections of Your Lawn
When damage causes a water line to leak, you may notice that your lawn is soggy even when it has not been raining.
Why Do I Need to Replace My Water Line?
You may decide to replace your water line for many different reasons. If your current water line has become damaged, you will likely want to replace it. Some homeowners choose to upgrade their existing water line to keep up with their home’s increased water consumption. This is an especially good idea if you are considering installing a new bathroom during a home remodeling project. Some of the times when you may need water line replacement and installation services include:
- If your pipes are cracked or leaking
- If the ground around your home has frozen and damaged the water line (rare here in the Van Nuys area)
- If the ground has shifted due to construction or an earthquake
- If you need a larger water line to accommodate your home’s increased water consumption
