Did you know that the line that connects the water main in the street to your home’s plumbing is your responsibility as a homeowner? When something goes wrong with your main water line, you’ll need a plumber you can trust to resolve the problem quickly, as you could be dealing with significant property damage and wasted water before you realize it.
A broken water main can be especially troublesome in the Philadelphia area. The average water main is over 70 years, meaning many are aging out of use and are more susceptible to leaking, corrosion, or displacement.
Len The Plumber will be there when you need help with your water line, whether that means repair or replacement, and we’ll work hard to deliver exceptional workmanship as quickly as possible.

Water line issues could have a number of causes that affect how we best approach service. Common reasons water supply lines break include:
- Shifting or settling soil: If the soil in your yard shifts significantly, it can displace your line and break it, especially if it’s already aging.
- Freezing and thawing ground: The pressure changes on your water line due to freezing and thawing — and the potential settling of soil as a result — often breach water lines, especially if they’re already susceptible.
- Water line corrosion: Water line corrosion can be a problem in older pipes and pipes exposed to certain contaminants. Connection to a corroding water main can accelerate this process.
- Tree root infiltration: Tree roots can grow into the narrowest gaps in your pipes. The bulk of a root can even outright displace and break your line.

Water Line Repair vs. Replacement
Repairs of specific problems like leaks usually make more sense than a complete replacement.
However, replacement is likely a smarter investment if your pipes are approaching the end of their life span or have suffered a major break.
