Water Main Repair

Uninterrupted water flow is essential for almost every home in America. Water leaks can cause a whole mess of issues with your home. Water leaks should be attended to immediately as they lead to increased bills from your water company. There are different types of leaks in water supply pipes which can result in a need for water main repair. These include the following;

• Gushing supply pipe leak: this happens when there is a burst of the pipe caused by applying excessive pressure on the surface where the pipe runs. The pipe could also have separated at the solder joint in cases where someone was moving the pipe, or the pipe could separate because of an increase in water pressure.
• Drip or Pinhole leak: this happens when there is a loose threaded joint and the water leaks through the small gaps left. These leaks are usually difficult to diagnose and find, but you end up wasting a lot of water.
  When you realize a water pipe has burst, don’t attempt to fix it if you are not an expert. This may easily cause more problems. The best thing you can do is call a professional plumber.
