Main Causes of Water or Sewer Main Failure

Here are the main reasons a water or sewer main must be repaired or replaced:

1. ROOTS!!!! - Roots are one of the primary reasons we dig up old lines.
2. Cast Iron, Galvanized, Copper and Clay Pipe - It's only a matter of time before they rot out.
3. Water Hammers - A drastic change in pipe pressure that shatters the pipe.
4. Extreme Weather - When the ground freezes and thaws, it flexes around the pipe. In some cases, this leads to the development of holes and cracks in the sewer or water main.
5. Age - Like all things, pipes don’t last forever. While pipes have a longer lifespan than most things in your home, somewhere between 50 and 100 years, they still need to be replaced.
6. Water Contamination - Some pipes and soil might leak harmful substances into your water over time.

Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Sewer or Water Main

When a crack or hole develops in a pipe, it might not be noticed right away. Most homeowners only realize they have an issue once the water finds its way to the surface. To keep a small leak from becoming a flood, keep an eye out for:

• Water leaking around the valve block or fire hydrant cap
• Water seeping up from the sidewalk or driveway
• Standing water and saturated soil on your property
