Your home’s main water line is a vital connection that delivers fresh water every day. However, leaks, damage, and aging can compromise this line, leading to water damage and sinkholes. 

Dauenhauer Plumbing offers expert main water line repair and replacement services in Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky. 

Signs You May Need Water Line Repair

Not sure if it’s time to call a plumber? Look out for these common signs that your main water line might be damaged:

• Low or inconsistent water pressure
• Discolored or rusty water
• A sudden spike in your water bill
• Wet spots, sinkholes, or muddy areas in your yard
• Strange sounds like gurgling or banging

If you notice one or more of these signs, it could mean there’s a leak or break in your main water line. It’s essential to shut off your main water valve and contact a professional plumber immediately.

At Dauenhauer, our team is available for fast, reliable service when you need us most. We also provide comprehensive plumbing camera inspections for drains and sewers to accurately diagnose and repair your water lines.

Dauenhauer’s Main Water Line Services

Our main water line services include:

• Main Water Line Repair: We’ll quickly diagnose the source of the problem and repair your water line efficiently with minimal disruption to your home. 
• Main Water Line Replacement: If your main water line is beyond repair due to age, damage, or outdated materials, we’ll replace it with high-quality piping to ensure a reliable water supply for years to come. 
• Water Line Leak Detection: We utilize advanced equipment to locate leaks in your main water line accurately, saving you time and money on extensive excavation.
• Trenchless Water Line Replacement: Water lines are buried underground and often go under sidewalks, landscaping sections, and other features that are difficult to excavate. Whenever possible, we offer trenchless main water line replacement to minimize damage to your yard and landscaping. 
• Water Pressure Regulator Installation: Excessive water pressure can damage pipes. We can install a water pressure regulator to reduce damage to your water lines and extend their service lifespans.

In addition to underground water line repairs, we also address leaks and repipe water lines throughout your entire home. Beyond homes, Dauenhauer Plumbing’s expertise extends to commercial main water line repairs as well.

Common Causes of Water Line Damage

Water line problems can occur for many reasons. Here are the most common causes we see across Kentucky homes:

1. Clogged Pipes

Food scraps, grease, soap, and even hair can accumulate in your plumbing, leading to slow drains and blockages. To help prevent this, avoid putting anything down your drains that doesn’t belong, and schedule regular cleanings.

2. Old or Corroded Piping

If your home has older pipes, such as galvanized steel, they may be rusting or breaking down from the inside. Over time, this can lead to leaks, reduced water quality, or full pipe failure.

3. Tree Roots

Trees and plants love water. Their roots can grow toward your pipes, wrapping around them or even breaking through. If this occurs, it can lead to serious leaks or blockages. A professional inspection can pinpoint the issue and help create a repair or replacement plan.

4. Frozen and Burst Pipes

Kentucky winters can be tough on your plumbing. If water inside your pipes freezes, it can expand and cause cracked or burst pipes. Letting your faucets drip in freezing weather can help, but if a pipe does freeze or burst, Dauenhauer is ready to help with fast service.

5. Poor Installation

If your plumbing system wasn’t installed correctly the first time, you may be dealing with long-term problems, such as leaks or weak connections. Our licensed team can assess the setup and make sure everything is installed to last.

At Dauenhauer, we’re proud to be your trusted local plumbers, bringing honest and unmatched service to your home’s plumbing system.
