When a water line inside your home breaks, it usually
doesn’t take long to know it. Fittings
and connections in supply lines are the most common culprit in these events, as
are things like nails from construction projects or vibrating pipes. Not every leak is that obvious to find and
needs to be troubleshot as well.
There are minor leaks and those that are underground, either
under a home’s foundation or between the street or well and the house. What causes these particular leaks? They are typically caused by deterioration
from age or that occur because the house or the ground is settling. In rare cases, the break is caused by
freezing.
A burst pipe is obvious…a leaky one, not so much. At the very first sign of a broken water line
