How to Know if You Might Need Your Home’s Water Main Replaced

You’ve turned the handle, and it’s a trickle… or maybe the water in your glass is looking a bit cloudy. These oddities in your home’s H2O aren’t just nuisances—they’re the smoke signals of underlying water main issues. 

When you start noticing the following signs, it might be time to consider a water main replacement.

Is Your Water Pressure Wavering?

Fickle water pressure in your home can often be traced back to a troubled water main. A compromised main line, whether from clogs, breaks, or decay, disrupts the steady flow one expects. Identifying and fixing water main issues is thus vital in restoring that steady stream of life – your water pressure.

Is The Water Looking Cloudy or Discolored?

When you gaze upon your glass of H2O only to find it resembling a foggy morning in White Rock, that’s turbidity at play. If the water’s clarity has packed up and left, it might be time to look at your water main.

If the water flowing from your taps has taken on a curious tint, be it a rusty rouge or an eerie yellow, it’s more than just an aesthetic issue. Discolored water can signal corroding pipes or contaminants on the scene.
