| How Do I tell if there is a
problem with my water service line?
There are several typical indications
that there is a leak in the high-pressure water line connecting your home
to the water meter. If you notice any of the following you may have
a problem that needs immediate attention:
-
Standing water in your yard, and it
has not rained recently
-
Your water bill is unusually high
-
Your basement is flooding, and you
do not see an obvious leak
Why is my water line suddenly leaking?
-
Temperature changes can cause buried
water line to crack or break.
-
Water lines get old and may develope
weaknesses over time
-
The ground could have settled or shifted
causing a leak
I think I have a problem, how do
I fix it?
The line providing water to your
home is a high pressure line and unfortunately even a pin hole size opening
can leak several gallons of water a minute quickly damaging the ground
or your basement, not to mention drastically increasing your water bill.
