Water Main Replacement & Repair

Problems with the water main can be a serious source of stress for any homeowner, as they have the potential to lead to costly pipe repairs and other water damage to your foundation. Therefore, it is crucial to identify and understand how these issues occur, the most common indicators, and when you need a water main replacement or repair.

What is a Water Main?

Each home has a water main located underground. It is a large pipe that connects your home to your municipal water source. Over time, it is common for water mains to develop holes and corrosion, and require service to continue safely pumping water to your home. These issues may also result in leaks that can cause damage to your property if not addressed in a timely manner. Luckily, ABV Plumbing professional plumbers are experts in water main replacement and repair, ready to help you resolve your water main problems in Arlington Heights, Mount Prospect, Glenview, Buffalo Grove, Deerfield, and other cities in Chicago’s Northwest Suburbs.

When Should I Replace My Water Main?

No one wants to hear that their water main needs to be serviced. It can be a costly repair or replacement. However, it is advised to act swiftly and call a professional as soon as you notice any of these signs:

• Low Water Pressure – if you notice that your taps are suddenly releasing a lower water pressure than normal, this might be a sign of a leak along the water line.
• Unexplained Moisture – condensation and moisture on walls and ceilings can indicate a leak in your water line. Make sure to get an inspection as soon as possible to avoid water damage and potential mold in your walls.
• Foul Smelling Water – if your water has had an unpleasant smell or unusual color, there is a possibility of corrosion in the water main, which could indicate a need for replacement. Failing to replace a deteriorating water line can have serious health implications and we strongly advise professional inspection.
• Flood or Other Serious Weather Event – mother nature can cost a fortune for homeowners. If your home has recently experienced a flood or other severe weather event, it may have caused a leak or damage to the water main or other areas along the water line.
