If you live in an older neighborhood, your drinking water could be flowing through lead pipes installed decades ago. Though many municipalities have partially replaced lead pipes with copper ones up to the curb, this often leaves residents with the responsibility of replacing the private service lines leading to their homes. Fortunately, our plumbing contractors in Michigan and Florida have experience with lead pipe replacement and water main repair.
Here’s what you need to know about replacing lead pipes.
When municipalities partially replace lead pipes, they unintentionally disrupt the built-up scale inside that contains lead. Once disturbed, the lead is able to leach into the water you consume on a daily basis. Young children, babies, and pregnant women are especially vulnerable to lead poisoning.
The best way to protect your family is to give Whitney Services a call. Our local plumbers are trained to safely handle lead service line replacement, giving you peace of mind.
The water main is the main pipe that supplies water to your home. If you suspect you have an issue with your underground water main, don’t hesitate to call one of our local plumbers. We have experience inspecting and repairing water mains so you’re not without water for long.
An Unexplained Increase in Water Bills: A sudden spike in your water bill may indicate a leak in the underground water main.
Low Water Pressure: If you notice a significant drop in water pressure throughout your home, it could be due to an issue with the water main.
Soggy Spots in Your Yard: Pooling water or unusually wet patches in your yard, especially when it hasn’t rained, may signal an underground water main leak.
Discolored Water: Rusty or dirty water coming from the faucets is a potential sign of corrosion or damage in the main water line.
Unusual Sounds Happening: Hearing hissing or gurgling noises from your pipes could indicate a break or crack in the water main.
