Common Causes of Water Line Issues
Several issues can compromise your water line. Here are the most common culprits homeowners face in the Mid-Atlantic:
- Aging pipes: Older water lines, especially galvanized steel or polybutylene pipes, are more susceptible to corrosion and failure. Over time, weakened materials can lead to low water pressure or catastrophic leaks.
- Tree root infiltration: Trees and shrubs seek out moisture underground. Their roots can crack or infiltrate pipes, blocking water flow and causing leaks that spread through your yard.
- Shifting soil and frozen ground: Seasonal freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soil over time can stress underground pipes. This pressure can cause breaks, fractures, or misalignments that interrupt water service.
- High water pressure: Excessive water pressure may strain your main line, causing premature wear or sudden pipe bursts.
- Mineral buildup: Hard water, which is common in the mid-Atlantic, can leave mineral deposits that narrow your water line’s interior, reducing water flow and damaging pipe walls.
