You might wonder if you can handle a DIY water main repair project for your Marysville property. However, you will need a professional to ensure the job gets done right.

North Hill Sewer & Drain is here to help!

These are some of the most frequently asked questions we get regarding water mains:

• How will I know there is something wrong with the water main? A professional inspection is best to determine issues with your water main. This involves inspecting all the pipes, determining their condition, and pinpointing any problem areas.
• How long do water lines usually last? Main water lines for most properties could last about 50 years or longer with proper maintenance and inspections.
• Can I protect the water main from damage in the future? Regular inspections every two to five years will help ensure nothing is going wrong with the line. You can also look for water pressure issues, puddling in the yard, or soil erosion. If you notice any of these signs, schedule North Hill Sewer & Drain for an inspection as soon as possible.
• Will the repair take long? The length of time your water main repair takes depends on the complexity of the problem and other factors pertaining to your unique property. In ideal situations, repairing a broken or damaged water main line may take four to eight hours to fix.
