Common Causes of Potable Water Line Damage

If neglected, a broken water main line can cause massive flooding, damaging flooring, walls, parking lots, backyards, and driveways.

We offer world-class trenchless potable water line services Waimea, HI, residents depend on.

While most potable water supply systems are built to last and withstand the occasional wear and tear, there’s always the looming possibility of pipe puncture or damage. Here, we discuss the common factors that can warrant a water line repair.

Tree Root Invasion

Tree roots are naturally drawn to rich water sources. If the potable water piping passes under or near trees, the roots can easily block, clog, and even crack the underground piping. Regardless of the strength of your underground piping, the root hairs can wrap around the pipeline, thus reducing water flow and leading to a damaged potable water line.

Sediment and Mineral Build-Up

Over time, the build-up of sediment, minerals, and debris can cause blockage and bursting of the water supply line. This is especially common in areas like the South Pacific where water sources are notably rich in minerals. The good news is that with proper maintenance and prompt, potable water line repair procedures, you can negate the effects of such buildups.

Water Freezing During Winter

It’s no wonder that most potable water line replacement procedures happen over winter. The freezing temperatures cause water to turn into ice. The ice expands within the pipe system and eventually causes the pipeline to burst.

At Nu Flow South Pacific, we offer both pressurized and non-pressurized drain pipe repair solutions that meet the specific needs of our clients. We use eco-friendly restoration methods to restore the functionality of a damaged water supply line. Our pressurized epoxy lining solutions provide maximum protection to all piping systems regardless of the pipe’s diameter.
