Checking for breaks or potential risks to the integrity of your water line may be difficult since it is often underground. However, if damage does occur, you will likely notice some of the signs of a broken water line, such as water discoloration and an increase in your water bill.

It may be time to call a plumbing contractor for a water line replacement if you notice any of the following warning signs:

• Water Discoloration: A brown tint in your water could indicate the presence of rust, dirt, or soil due to corrosion or cracks in your water line. This contaminated water can cause health issues and may pose a risk if used for drinking, bathing, or other household activities.
• Sudden Drop in Water Pressure: A break or leak in the water line can cause a decrease in water flow throughout your plumbing system. When your water pressure continues to drop, it could be a sign of a fairly large leak in your water line.
• Unusual Increase in Water Bills: An abnormally high water bill is another common sign of a leaking water line. Broken water lines may cause a continuous flow of water even when you’re not using it, increasing your bill.
• Standing Water in Your Lawn: If you begin to notice large puddles forming and failing to drain in your yard, it could be due to a broken water line. When your water line is broken, the water can seep out and pool in the surrounding area, leading to standing water, potentially damage grass and other landscaping.

When it comes to plumbing issues, inaction almost always results in more damage and additional costs. You’ll save yourself a lot of stress and money if you catch these problems and fix them during the early stages of damage.
