Common Water Line Issues Include:

Low Water Pressure
A change in water pressure at your home or business can be caused by a variety of issues, but the most costly cause could be a water line leak. Water line leaks are caused by a variety of issues, ranging from repeated micro vibrations, to faulty fittings or connections. There are a range of troubleshooting options to help determine cause, but the most important step is to investigate further. If the leak is not obvious, Nixcavating can often help determine the location of the leak, but in situations where the water line is plastic and/or runs a long distance, calling in a professional leak detection company would be a wise choice.

Sediment Build-Up
If sediment or rust is visible in the water, old, cracked, or eroded pipes could be the culprit, but those issues are generally interior, and you would need to contact a licensed plumber.
If your water looks dirty, there may have been construction on the water main line in your area recently, which may have stirred up sediment in the line. The water line should clear on its own with time, but additional troubleshooting and tips are found at this blog post.

Burst Pipes
A water line or fire line break is considered an emergency and requires immediate attention. The main causes of water line breaks that we come across are decay of pipes due to age, improper backfill or fitting failures. A water line break can not only cause major damage to the property, it can also be very costly to your utility invoice.

If your property has a fire line break, the damages incurred to your business can be even more disastrous. Nixcavating knows the inconvenience of a fire line break is at the top of mind, right next to the disruption of business and cost to repair, but we are committed to working with your fire sprinkler protection crew to get your business back in the building.
