Common Water Line Issues

The main water line is the pipe that brings fresh water into your home from your local municipal or utility services. 

At Superior Plumbing, we’ve encountered and fixed more water line issues than we can count. Here are the most common problems we come across:

• Leaking pipes
• Burst pipes
• Noisy pipes
• Clogged toilets and sinks
• Frozen pipes
• Low water pressure
• Overflowing gutters

It’s also possible for the main water line to become blocked. When this happens, it can be due to a number of things such as frozen water, corrosion, tree roots, sediment buildup, faulty installation, or the accumulation of dirt and debris.

If you encounter any of these issues, it’s best to hire plumbing services in Atlanta from a company like Superior Plumbing.

Why Get a Professional Plumber for a Water Line Repair

Even if you’re an expert DIY-er, water line repairs aren’t ideal projects for homeowners with no prior training to take on. Here’s why:

You Get Complete Diagnostics

Atlanta professional plumbers can accurately and quickly identify and resolve plumbing problems. Additionally, you may obtain a comprehensive report on the underlying causes of plumbing issues and previously undetected issues that could create problems in the near future. 

The process involves hidden leaks that are difficult for DIY-ers to find. Therefore, when considering fixing your water line problem yourself, be aware that there may be problems that aren’t visible from the surface. 



A skilled plumber can fix broken pipes and other plumbing mechanisms while providing expert recommendations on repairs to resolve current and future issues.

Public Service Plumbers Have the Right  Tools

Diagnosing and fixing water line issues may involve hard-to-reach areas that would be impossible to access without specialized equipment. This is especially true when leaks occur in inaccessible areas like behind walls, beneath heavy slabs, or underground places. 

Plumbing professionals have the latest instruments and equipment that allow them to identify, address, and fix problems related to your water line. Superior Plumbing has all the tools necessary to get a job done quickly and efficiently whether it calls for tube cutters, wrenches, screwdrivers, drills, or video cameras.

Reduce the Chances of  Water Damage

If pressurized water lines aren’t fixed properly, a home can flood and experience water damage. Water supply pipes, shutdown valves, and clogged pipes are great examples of this. 

Professional plumbers know that upgrading water valves requires the installation of new supply lines. If supply lines are reused, the threading deteriorates and can result in leaks. When drainpipes beneath sinks are repaired, leaks also occur. To avoid them, professionals must know which parts and tools to use, how much plumbers glue or tape a job needs, and how to attach components.

To remove clogs, drain snaking (using a long-bladed or hooked cable to remove blockages) is often used. If it is performed in a multi-story building, every floor and room beneath must be examined. Licensed plumbers will conduct necessary inspections after finishing the job to make sure that everything is in order and that future leaks are avoided.

You Save Time and Money

When you aren’t sure about what you’re doing, it takes more time to fix something. It also costs money to buy the tools and equipment you need. Plus, your solution may not be right and may need to be corrected later on when the damage is worse. 

Hiring expert plumbing services to address the issue once and for all is significantly more cost-effective and efficient.

Peace of Mind

Why get a professional plumber for a water line repair? Perhaps the biggest benefit is peace of mind. By entrusting your water line problem to the experts, you can be satisfied with the knowledge that the job was done thoroughly and correctly the first time, saving you from bigger problems down the road.
