Water Main | Water Line Repair Fort Worth

When a problem occurs in the water main, Benjamin Franklin Plumbing’s water line repair in Fort Worth will ensure a prompt and professional repair.

Signs of Water Main Problems

When a water leak occurs, it is not always as obvious as a pool of water, or water bubbling up from the ground. The signs may be inconspicuous, leaving you uncertain as to whether you even have a problem.

Any of the following signs can potentially indicate a water leak and the need for water line repair in Fort Worth.

• An unexplained elevated water bill.
• Low water pressure present in all taps.
• Water pooling on the lawn.
• Green, lush grass over and around the water main location, or downhill from it.
• Discolored water, which may be due to soil entering a leaking water main.
• A lack of water at all taps can indicate a burst water main. If all taps are not affected the problem will lie within the homes water supply lines and not the water main. Ensure the supplier has not shut the water off of the municipal water system for repair before calling a plumber.
• Water bubbling up or spraying from the ground over or near the water main.

A loss of water pressure is a common sign, though low water pressure can be due to other causes. Pools of water on the lawn are a more or less certain indication of a water line leak, though if it has a bad odor, it is more likely to be the sewer line.
