To properly fix a broken main water line you will need to have a professional plumber from Drain Guardians complete the repairs. Fixing a broken water main line consists of quickly applying epoxy to the areas of the pipe that are cracked. The epoxy will start drying within one to two minutes once applied and takes about an hour to completely harden.
Main water lines typically break due to excessive or uneven high water pressure. Most pipes and faucets can only handle a certain level of water pressure before they will start to leak. If you suspect that your main water line has a break or your water pressure may be too high, have a certified plumber from Drain Guardians inspect your main water line.
The amount of time it takes to fix a main water line break depends on the size of the break, where the break is located, and what type of environment it is in. Where the break is located is the most crucial aspect. With that said, water main breaks generally take around four to eight hours to repair. If your main water line has broken, call Drain Guardians immediately to make the proper repairs.
Yes, a water main can break. Signs that your water main may have a break include an unexplained puddle of water (usually underneath a sink or on the floor), random puddles of water in or around your yard, and water flooding in your street. If you notice any of these types of puddles in or around your property, call Drain Guardians right away.
To properly locate a water main leak, you will most likely need a certified plumber from Drain Guardians to do so. Your Drain Guardians plumber will locate your meter and check the leak indicator to see if it is moving. If the dial is in fact moving, it is very likely that you have a water main leak.
Main water lines are typically at least three feet below ground and not apparent to the eye. Water supply lines connect your household plumbing to the local community water supply lines (or to a well in more rural areas). If you are attempting to locate where your main water line is, or you suspect you may have a break in your main water line, call Drain Guardians to have a certified plumber dispatched to precisely locate where your main water line is.

You will need a trusted Drain Guardians plumbing expert to determine whether repair or replacement is appropriate for the condition of your water main pipe.
