Main water lines are typically at least three feet below ground and not apparent to the eye. Water supply lines connect your household plumbing to the local community water supply lines (or to a well in more rural areas). If you are attempting to locate where your main water line is, or you suspect you may have a break in your main water line, call J&R Herra Home Service to have a certified plumber dispatched to precisely locate where your main water line is.
To properly locate a water main leak, you will most likely need a certified plumber from J&R Herra Home Service to do so. Your J&R Herra Home Service plumber will locate your meter and check the leak indicator to see if it is moving. If the dial is in fact moving, it is very likely that you have a water main leak.
The amount of time it takes to fix a main water line break depends on the size of the break, where the break is located, and what type of environment it is in. Where the break is located is the most crucial aspect. With that said, water main breaks generally take around four to eight hours to repair. If your main water line has broken, call J&R Herra Home Service immediately to make the proper repairs.
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.
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.
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 to call J&R Herra Home Service for expert help immediately before extensive damage is done to your home, property, and the water main line itself.
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.
Lastly, 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 J&R Herra Home Service to help resolve the problem.
