Because the pipes to your home’s main water line are underground, it can be difficult for most homeowners to assess when they need repair or replacement. 3 Mountains Plumbing makes water main line replacement in Sellwood, OR simple and sure.

Three signs that you might need to replace your main line:

  1. A Water Bill That Suddenly Soars: If you experience an unexplained increase in your water bill, it might be due to a cracked or broken water main line. If there are no leaks in your home, your commode isn’t running continually, your drains aren’t gurgling, and your plumbing appears to be in good shape, the main line is probably the culprit.
  2. A Commode That Gives Back: A commode that causes water to back up out of the bowl and onto your floors is a dead giveaway that you may have an issue with your main sewer line. A toilet that backs up or makes gurgling noises can also indicate a case of tree roots invading your main line.
  3. A Tree Root that Infiltrates: Tree roots can be a major pain in your main drain. They can cause an awful lot of damage to your water line. The trees in question might not even be yours – tree root damage can even come from the trees on neighboring lawns and yards. Invasive tree roots often disrupt water main systems because their roots naturally seek water. Tree roots that invade sewer pipes cause clogs and create blockages that can lead to costly repairs.

Don’t be caught off guard by this major necessity. Water main line replacement in Sellwood OR can be easier than you think. Call us today and we’ll have your home in clean, clear, sanitary water faster than you can say 3 Mountains Plumbing – but not faster than you can call us for an estimate.
