Water Line Repair in Springfield
Although potentially contaminated tap water is a sure sign that you need water line repairs, you can have damaged water supply lines in your home without it.
If you hear the sound of constantly running or dripping water behind your drywall, there’s a good chance that one of your water supply pipes has a leak. Sudden increases in your monthly water bill, rising indoor humidity, and stubborn problems with mildew and mold are all indications of possible water supply line problems.
Our water line repair services address all of the most common water supply issues.
- Low water pressure
- Cracked and leaky pipes
- Dripping faucets
- Noisy pipes
- Backlow
Changes in pressure within plumbing systems cause used water to flow backward. Backflowing water can contaminate incoming fresh water and the pipes that carry it. All new homes in Springfield have backflow preventers.
These devices prevent the reverse movement of water in water supply pipes. If you have cloudy and foul-smelling tap water, you may need a new backflow preventer. If your water supply pipes have cracks or pinhole leaks, our plumbers can remove, clean, and repair them, or we can replace them.
If you have a sprinkler irrigation system, backflow can also introduce landscaping water into your drinking water. Cracked water supply pipes and backflow issues can add harmful pathogens, lawn chemicals, and many other dangerous contaminants to your tap water.
There are multiple ways to fix and mitigate damaged water supply lines. Our plumbers use advanced leak-detecting tools to identify the exact locations of pipe leaks. These tools limit the need for landscape disruption, drywall removal, and other invasive diagnostic measures.
Sometimes, water supply lines develop clogs that obstruct the flow of incoming fresh water. This may be the case if your supply pipes are old or if your home has very hard water. Hard water leaves build-up of dissolved minerals in pipes.
This sediment narrows interior pipe diameters and can eventually stop the flow of fresh water entirely. With sediment build-up, water line replacement is often the safest and most cost-effective choice.
