Leak Detection

An underground or in-slab water leak that is not obvious and persisting for a period of time can cause a significant amount of damage to your home and wallet. Leak detection will be the best option to locate and repair the leak.

Water Main

Your home’s water main comes from the water meter to the home and is responsible for distributing water throughout the rest of the pipes in your home. One of the most obvious signs of a damaged water main is low water pressure throughout your home, including your kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room.

Water Re-Piping

Water Re-Piping is the process of replacing all your home’s water pipes. In most new homes, repiping isn’t necessary. However, older homes or homes with excessive corrosion or leaks can benefit from our water pipe replacement. Water repiping entails replacing and upgrading your current water piping including the water pressure regulator (if required). New water pipes can improve water flow, provide cleaner water, and prevent water line failures.

Understanding Your Water Main

Your home's water main is a crucial component of your plumbing system, responsible for delivering water from the municipal supply to your entire house. At SWAGS Plumbing and Rooter, we understand how essential a properly functioning water main is for your daily comfort and convenience. Here’s a closer look at what a water main does, common issues, and how our services can help.

What is a Water Main?

The water main is the primary pipe that connects your home to the municipal water supply. It typically runs from the water meter, located near the street or your property line, into your home. Once inside, it distributes water to the various pipes that supply your kitchen, bathrooms, laundry room, and outdoor faucets.

Signs of a Damaged Water Main

A damaged water main can disrupt your entire household. Here are some common signs that indicate a problem with your water main:

• Low Water Pressure: If you notice a sudden drop in water pressure throughout your home, it could be due to a leak or blockage in the water main.
• Water Discoloration: Rusty or discolored water can indicate corrosion in the water main.
• Unusual Wet Spots: Puddles or soggy spots in your yard, especially near the water main, can be a sign of a leak.
• Higher Water Bills: An unexplained increase in your water bill may be due to a hidden leak in the water main.
• Noisy Pipes: Banging or clanking sounds in your pipes can suggest a problem with water flow, possibly caused by a water main issue.

Causes of Water Main Damage

Several factors can contribute to water main damage, including:

• Aging Infrastructure: Older pipes are more susceptible to corrosion and wear over time.
• Ground Shifts: Natural ground movements or construction activities can cause the pipes to shift, crack, or break.
• Tree Roots: Roots from trees and shrubs can invade and damage water mains.
• Temperature Changes: Extreme weather conditions can cause pipes to expand and contract, leading to cracks and leaks.
