Professional Solutions for Kauai Water Line Problems
Leaks can happen for many reasons: aging pipes, shifting soil, corrosion, or even invasive roots. If you’ve noticed low water pressure, wet spots in the yard, or an unexplained spike in your water bill, you could have a hidden water line issue.
Common Signs of Water Line Damage:
- A sudden drop in water pressure
- Damp or soggy patches in your lawn
- Unusual spikes in your water usage
- Water discoloration or poor taste
- Sounds of running water when everything is off
Water Pressure
If there is a clog or break in your water main line, it will generally affect the water pressure in your home, causing it to decrease. When a clog or break is present, less water is able to move through the pipe, and therefore not able to make it to your fixtures such as shower heads or sinks as it normally would. Decreased water pressure is a very common sign of a broken water main.
Increased Utility Bills
Has your monthly water and utility bill randomly increased? If it has and you notice any of the other symptoms on this list happening with your water main, you may have a clog or break in your pipe. When there is a break in the line, it will often waste excess water, causing an unexpected increase on your monthly utility bill.
Water Pooling
If you have wet patches or pools of vibrant grass throughout your lawn, you likely have a water main break. Patches of vibrant grass, water pools, and a foul odor from the water is an almost indisputable indication that your water main has suffered a break. In the event of this, you will need expert help immediately before extensive damage is done to your home, property, and the water main line itself.
Contaminated Water
When a water main line breaks, dirt and debris can get inside of the pipe and eventually your water supply. Because water main lines are underground, a lot of potentially toxic and hazardous objects can leak into your water supply, causing you and your family to potentially fall ill. If you notice that the water from your sinks, bathtubs, and drains appears to be different in color and/or smell, you may have a main water line break, which will require repair or replacement.
Odd Noises
Another sign that your water main may be in need of water main repair is odd, loud noises coming from your plumbing when it is not being used. If you notice water moving or just various plumbing noises in general throughout the middle of the night while you are sleeping and these appliances are not being used, this is an indication of an issue that will need to be resolved.
Multiple Clogged Pipes
If you notice that many of your toilets, sinks, or shower drains are constantly getting clogged no matter how much snaking or store-bought drain cleaner you use, your water line is either clogged or is broken. This can also happen if your sewer line is clogged or broken as well. Either way, you will need to call in the experts at Steve’s Plumbing & A/C – Kauai to help resolve the problem.
