In part one of ‘Signs That You May Need NYC Water Main Repair‘, we discussed unexplained sounds, water pooling in your yard, and discolored water.

It is therefore very important that you are aware of the signs that can indicate that you may be in need of a NYC water main repair, and that you can then address the problem before it results in more serious issues. Here are a few of the signs you can look out for in your home that can indicate the need for water main repair.

Standing Water

Pools of standing water in your yard can be one of the easiest signs of water main damage for homeowners to detect. When a leak or a rupture occurs in your mater main, water will seep up through the soil, which will result in these pools forming in your yard. If you notice such standing water occurring in your yard for no apparent reason, then you may have cause for concern, as it is likely that your water main or house sewer needs repair. A professional plumber is best to call to determine which of your services (if any) are damaged or leaking. Performing unnecessary excavation work, or repairing the wrong plumbing line, can be very costly

Decreased Water Pressure

Anytime you experience a loss of water pressure in your home, it is quite likely that there is something wrong with your plumbing. While the issue could occur in a number of places, if the water pressure problem appears consistent throughout your home, then it is likely that you have a blockage or a leak in your water main and should contract a professional water main contractor for service.

Your water main is a vital part of your home, as it provides all of the water you use throughout the day. It is then important that you are aware of the signs indicating that your water main may be in need of repair.
