Main water line problems often develop gradually before becoming obvious. Recognizing early warning signs helps you address issues before they cause catastrophic failures and expensive damage.
Watch for these signs of main water line problems:
In Highlands, ground movement from settling or seismic activity can stress main water lines over time. Older homes with original galvanized steel or clay pipes face higher risk of main line failure. If you’re noticing warning signs, professional inspection and repair prevent complete failure and the extensive damage it causes.
Main water lines fail for various reasons, from material deterioration to external damage. Understanding these causes helps you appreciate the importance of timely repairs.
Common causes of main water line problems include:
Highlands’ clay soil and seismic activity create specific challenges for buried water lines. Seasonal moisture changes cause soil expansion and contraction that stresses pipes. Older neighborhoods often have main lines installed with materials and techniques that don’t meet modern standards.
Hard water in our area also contributes to internal corrosion and mineral buildup that weakens pipes from the inside. These local factors mean main water lines often need attention sooner than the national average lifespan would suggest.
