Your water line directly impacts your daily water consumption, which is why when there’s a problem, it should be inspected and repaired immediately. Service Plus in Eastern CT, specializes in water line inspections and repairs, and they’ve gathered some tips to help you tell if your home’s piping may be in need of attention.  

If you’ve got a suspicion there’s something amiss with your water line, they say the following three attributes are telltale signs it’s in need of repairs:

• High Water Bills: One of the easiest ways to tell if you have a leak or another problem with your water line is if you notice an unexplained jump in your monthly water bill. Try turning off all the plumbing equipment in your house and inspecting your water meter (if the meter is outside the house), if it’s still running, you’ve got a leak somewhere in your water line. In such cases, you’ll likely need to invest in the services of a professional to inspect your piping and locate the leak before it can be repaired. 
• Low Water Pressure: A drop in water pressure can be caused by a broad range of issues, such as a cracked pipe, leaking or broken connection, or a blockage in your water line. If you’re experiencing a drop in water pressure, contact a pipe inspection professional as soon as possible to locate and repair the issue. 
• Leak in Your Home or Water Pooling or Bubbling Up In Your Yard: If you have a noticeable leak in your home, but you’re unable to locate exactly where the water is coming from, contacting a professional as soon as possible is key; the longer you wait, the more that pinhole leak could grow. Having a licensed expert inspect your pipes will enable you to determine the exact source of the leak and prevent further damage.
