What Are the Signs You Need Main Water Line Repair?

- Your water bills rise suddenly.

- Water discoloration on walls, floors, or ceilings.
Do You Need Water Pipe Replacement or Repair?
If you have a main water line leak, you may be wondering whether to repair or replace the pipe. Consider the following points, and speak with our RCL experts for guidance about whether you should repair or replace your main water line:
- Age of the water line: If your water line is older than 50 years, replacement is more cost-effective than repairs.
- Past repairs: If you’ve had your water line fixed several times before, it’s time to replace the pipe and trade it up to a new one.
- Material of the waterline: If your water line is made of out-of-date materials, having it replaced is a better option. Outdated materials can cause additional problems and health risks down the road.
- The extent of the damage: If the line has a small crack, a quick fix might suffice. If the line suffers from extreme corrosion or has completely burst, replacement is your best option.
- Cost analysis: A general rule of thumb is that if the repair cost equals or exceeds half the replacement cost, it is better to spend the money replacing rather than repairing the line.
