Below, we outline the most common water line issues and how our team addresses them:

• Leaks
  Leaks can arise from high water pressure, corrosion in copper pipes, or improperly installed pipe materials. Most water lines use either PVC, copper piping, or galvanized steel piping, all of which wear down over time.
  
  If your water line has leaked before, it could do so again as it ages. Water flow in corroded pipes faces increased friction, which wears the material used in the pipeline.
  
  To avoid leaks, inspect your water lines regularly for signs of corrosion! You should also inspect any exposed joints where two pieces meet up as well as fittings where water enters or leaves your home.

• Burst Pipes
  Probably the most serious water line issue that can occur in a home, burst pipes can occur due to corrosion, old age, water pressure, freezing temperatures, or even aggressive tree roots.
  
  Should one of your home’s pipes burst, call a professional plumber immediately to repair the break as well as determine the cause. Doing so helps prevent future breaks from occurring.

• Clogs
  Another common water line issue, clogs tend to take place in older homes. If you notice a decrease in your water pressure, you should investigate whether a clog has occurred somewhere along the pipe.
  
  To avoid clogs, have your plumber perform regular inspections on all your plumbing fixtures (sinks, toilets, etc.) and pipes. Additionally, you should ask them to inspect any exposed joints where two pieces meet as well as any fittings where water enters or leaves your home.

• Low Water Pressure
  Low water pressure can occur due to sediment buildup in the pipes, kinks in the lines, leaks, or other factors. If you experience low water pressure, have it addressed right away. Low water pressure can lead to decreased efficiency and even damage your appliances.

• Frozen Water Lines
  Frozen water lines are another common issue that can occur in frigid climates. When water freezes, it expands and pushes from the pipe’s interior, which can cause it to burst. If you live in an area susceptible to freezing water pipes, take preventative measures to protect them.
  
  You can do so by hiring Hicks to install insulation around your water lines. You should also allow water to trickle from one faucet during cold weather spells so the water doesn’t freeze in the lines.
