How do I know if there's a break in my main water line?

The following are warning signs of a break in your main water line:

• Pooling water in your yard

• Sudden spike in your water bill

• Strange noises, such as: hissing, whistling, bubbling/gurgling, or banging

• Low water pressure in sinks, showers, and tubs

• Discolored water

The longer a water line remains damaged, the more likely it is to damage the rest of the system. If you are experiencing any of these signs, you should call a professional right away.
