Causes of Water Line Damage

- Tree Root Intrusion – Tree roots sometimes grow into tiny cracks in your water pipes in search of water.
- Aging Pipes – As pipes age, they naturally corrode and may fall apart.
- Ground Movement – When soil shifts or the ground freezes and thaws, your pipes are put under excessive pressure.
- Extreme Water Pressure – A significant amount of water pressure over time increases the risk of corrosion of your pipes.
- Clogged Lines – Mineral deposits and foreign objects can clog your water line.

Do I Need Water Line Repairs or a Water Line Replacement?
We understand most people don’t know if their water line damage warrants water line repairs or a water line replacement. We consider many factors when choosing whether you need a water line repair or replacement, including:
- We determine if the type of water pipe material is repairable or needs a replacement. Lead or galvanized water lines must be replaced with new ones.
- If the water line is over 50 years old, it’s typically best to replace it. A newer water line offers you peace of mind that it will remain in excellent health for many years.
- If the water line repairs will cost 50 percent or more than a new water line, it’s best to replace it. Recurring water line issues often indicate the water line is beyond repairs.
