Graham Water Line Repair

Your Water Lines Need a Repair, If You Notice:

• Water Usage Surge - For most Graham homes, water usage throughout the year stays pretty much level. There may be some seasonal changes, but most of the time, the numbers should be fairly consistent. If your bill gradually or suddenly reflects an increased draw in water resources, however, that might be the first sign that your water line is leaking. If your water company can’t give you any new information about such an increase, it might be time to call a plumber.
• Water Pressure Loss - Is your water pressure barely getting the dirt off? If that’s the case throughout the home, it could be due to a leak to the main water line. Like your bill, your water pressure should remain consistent and is one of the first things affected by a compromised line.
• Old Pipes - If you’ve got a home and you know the pipes are in their twilight, it’s worth keeping in mind that your main line may be as well. If you know your pipes are old and you’re also seeing some of the other signs, then you should probably get a plumber over for a professional opinion.
• Clogs to the Main Water Line - As with any other plumbing, the main water line to your home is susceptible to clogs that cause your water to come to a halt. Here are the signs that the water has stopped flowing because of a clog:
• Sounds and Smells - While your main line might present a whiff of smells that are uncharacteristic of the clean air in your home, a clog to the main water line is likely to produce “sloshing” sounds echoing from the plumbing. What you’re hearing is the sound of water bouncing off the clog – and coming back toward the home.
• Slow Drains - If the plumbing fixtures in your home are having a hard time draining, that might mean you’ve got a blockage isolated to the main water line outside of the home.
