Water lines naturally get damaged throughout the years. The most common cause of damage to your water line is tree root intrusion. When water lines are placed near trees, the roots search for hydration in tiny cracks and crevices of the line. Tree roots often start to clog the pipe’s interior. Some of the other causes of water line damage include the following:
Ground Movement
Any time the ground shifts from nearby construction or freezing and thawing, excess pressure is placed on the pipes.
Improper Installation
It’s essential to use the proper installation method to professionally install water lines, or they will break down faster.
Aging
Water lines naturally wear down over time, causing cracks and breaks.
Pest Damage
Insects can cause damage to your water lines.
