Your water main line provides your home or business with access to the city water grid. This is the case for both water coming into your home, and water flowing out of your home. Both directions can be affected when your main line is damaged. A water main problem can develop into serious issues if not fixed promptly.
Water main problems will persist until the line is replaced or repaired. Ignoring a main line problem can cause damage to your foundation, lead to sinkholes, or worse.
Causes of Water Main Line Problems
- Invasive tree roots. Tree roots are one of the main causes of water main line damage. However, even shrubs can grow deep enough to break, crack, or block your main water lines.
- Old pipes. Many of the current water lines were installed in the 1950s and later. Knowing the age of your pipes can help determine if a replacement or repair is recommended.
- Pipe Materials. Many older water lines were made with lesser materials such as clay, steel, and tile that are more subject to deterioration than current pipes. These materials coupled with corrosive soil are a water line replacement in the works.
- Poor soil. Poor soil conditions such as soil containing high chloride levels or low resistivity, can cause corrosion in water main lines. Clay soil is well known culprit in causing water main damage.
Water Line & Water Main Replacement Cost
As a homeowner, you are responsible for the water line that run from your home to the street. If this section of the water line becomes damaged, corroded, or malfunctions in any way, you are responsible for any water line replacement or repairs.
The exact cost of a water line or water main replacement depends off several factors. In some scenarios, you may only need to perform a partial replacement, and in others you made need to replace the entire line. If you have a newer pipe and the damage is only to a certain section of the pipe, then you probably wouldn’t need to replace the whole pipe. You may only have to replace a section of the pipe. If you have an older home, the water lines may more serious issues. For example you see puddles of water developing in your yard, or hear the sound of running water constantly in your pipes. In these cases, you may need to have the entire water line replaced with new pipes that will keep your home functioning properly.
