Has your monthly water and utility bill randomly increased? If it has, you might 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 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, therefore it's 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.

If you have pools of water throughout your lawn, vibrant patches of grass, and a foul odor from the water you likely have a water main break. In an event like this, you will need expert water line help immediately before extensive damage is done to your home, property, and the water main line itself.

When a water main line breaks, dirt and debris can get inside of the pipe and eventually your water supply. Because water main lines are underground, a lot of potentially toxic and hazardous objects can leak into your water supply, causing you and your family to become ill. If you notice that the water from your sinks appear to be different in color and/or smell, you might a main water line break which will require repair or replacement.
