Let’s talk about water and sewer lines.
Just like with any appliance or fixture, over time, they start to function less efficiently. Wear and tear from a variety of sources takes its toll and we start seeing the need for a replacement. The same is true for your water and sewer lines, except for the part where we can see the degrading condition. Most of us can’t see our water lines or sewer lines and therefore are often surprised by a plumbing emergency when one of these pipes is damaged and starts to leak. Ideally, you will notice some of these signs and seek help quickly, before the initial small leak becomes a home-damaging issue of flooding water. We’ll discuss some of the warning signs further down on this page.
As tempting as it may be to try to fix an issue yourself, water line replacement or sewer line replacement is never a DIY project. As soon as you see any sign of potential water leakage, call Bohannon’s immediately. Catching the problem in time will save you a lot of money in the long run. We will conduct exploratory tests to determine the condition of your water lines. We’ll inspect your sewer lines, getting a clear image of the issue using a high-definition camera. Should the installation of new lines be necessary, you can trust the plumbing professionals at Bohannon’s for superior water and sewer line replacement services.
Signs your water line is leaking.
As mentioned before, we usually won’t notice a problem with our water lines until it becomes progressed to the point of making itself known. The most obvious visual representation of a water line leak is the appearance of puddles of water in your yard, basement or crawl space. From inside the house, you may notice a difference in the water pressure at your sink or in the shower. This would be due to the admission of air through the leak into the pipe, disrupting the pressure within it. You may also notice your water looking discolored and possessing an unpleasant, or contaminated smell.
With any of these signs, you should call Bohannon’s immediately so we can begin the exploratory process.
Notice an increase in your water bill?
Certainly one of the most obvious signs of a hidden water leak will be an increase in your water bill. It’s amazing how much water can seep through even a small leak in a water line, and all the while, it’s significantly increasing your water usage, which will be revealed at the next month’s billing cycle. Ideally, the leak will be caught early, and the issue addressed, before impacting your water bill.
Your sewer line may need to be replaced.
No one wants to deal with a sewage backup. The best way to prevent this is to have your sewer lines checked periodically. There are several problems that could be developing within your pipes that you may not notice. Many of these problems occur with old or poorly maintained lines.
Luckily, we at Bohannon’s Plumbing & General Repairs aren’t afraid to get our hands dirty. Turn to us for sewer line services. We’ll inspect your sewer lines using a high-definition camera to find cracks or leaks. Once we get a clear image of the issue, we can proceed with your repair or your sewer line replacement.
Signs that spell trouble within your sewer line:
- Sewage smell around your property
