CommonWater Line Problems We Fix

Water lines face numerous challenges that can disrupt your home’s water supply. Here are the most frequent issues we encounter:

  • Pipe Material Deterioration: Older copper pipes and PVC pipes can corrode or crack over time, especially in areas with harsh soil conditions or extreme temperature changes.
  • Root Intrusion: Tree roots naturally seek out water sources and can penetrate even small cracks in your water main connection, causing major blockages and breaks.
  • Freeze Damage: Without proper frost protection, water lines can freeze and burst during cold weather, requiring immediate water line replacement.
  • Ground Shifting: Soil movement from construction, heavy rains, or natural settling can stress pipes and cause breaks in your residential water line.
McCandless Plumbing & Excavation can help fix a pipe leak, which may need sewer camera inspection to find the cause.
