Oh No, A Broken Water Line.

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 please pick up your phone and call Eric of E M Plumbing Heating and Mechanical.  He and his team serve all of the plumbing and HVAC needs in the Albuquerque area.  Keep Eric’s number handy.  Call (505) 980-9334.
