In the Five Boroughs of New York City, it is quite common to run into water main problems. If you live in Kings (Brooklyn) or Queens County and are in need of emergency water main repairs, Balkan Sewer And Water Main is your go-to sewer and water main specialist. Here are some ways to determine if you are in need of emergency water main repairs.
Take a look at the property that surrounds your building. See if there’s a particular area that’s always wet. That is usually a sign of a sewer leak or water main leak. If left untreated, such a leak can cause serious difficulties for you and other tenants.
If you have a driveway, look for areas that show signs of water flow. It does not necessarily have to be an area that’s always wet. It may just be a puddle that never seems to dry up, or concrete that’s a little darker than the rest of the pavement. Darkening of concrete can happen after extensive water damage. Typically conditions like this are indicative or a sewer or drain issue. A professional can usually determine the nature of condition after a short investigation or leak test.
If you do not have a driveway, or you own a condo in a building complex with a lot of common areas, you can look for a drastic change in water pressure. If you find that your water pressure has been significantly compromised, it is likely that you have a water main leak or, worse, a full water main break. Another way to determine if you have a water main leak is if you hear a loud hissing noise on the plumbing when no water is being used. On a multifamily building, this would be evident after hours.
