Main water line replacement times in Bohemia and Long Island depend on repair size and complexity, with simple replacements taking as little as six to eight hours this fall while larger jobs can take several days to a week.
Signs that your Bohemia home’s main water line is broken before freezing winter weather arrives include unusually high water bills, sudden drops in water pressure, and soggy or soft spots in your lawn.
While DIY replacement is possible with old galvanized pipes, it is highly recommended to hire a certified technician from Ray The Plumber to ensure complex main water line work across Suffolk and Nassau Counties is handled safely and correctly.
Ray The Plumber most commonly uses Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) pipe for main water line installations in Suffolk and Nassau Counties because it is durable, corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and cost-effective.
PVC water main line pipes installed by Ray The Plumber are highly resilient against freezing Long Island temperatures and can last up to 100 years, though standard water lines typically begin to show wear around 50 years.
To determine the correct main water line size for your home in Bohemia or Long Island, a licensed plumbing expert from Ray The Plumber must evaluate your system and perform proper sizing calculations.
If there is a clog or break in your water main line, it will affect the water pressure in your home. When a clog or break is present, less water is able to move through the pipe, and therefore unable to make it to your plumbing fixtures. Decreased water pressure is a very common sign of a broken water main.
Has your water bill randomly increased? If it has and you notice any of the other symptoms listed here, you may have a clog or break in your water main. When there is a break in the line, it will often waste excess water, causing a significant increase in your monthly utility bill. If you notice that your water bill has increased out of nowhere and you are experiencing at least one of these other symptoms, you should call our team right away.
If you have wet patches or pools of vibrant grass throughout your lawn, you likely have a water main line break. Pooling water and a foul odor is an almost always an indisputable indication your water main has suffered a break. Call us for expert help immediately before extensive damage to your home and main line become worse!
When a water main breaks, dirt and debris can get inside of the pipe and eventually into your water supply. Because main lines are underground, toxic and hazardous objects can leak into your water supply, resulting in you and your family becoming sick. If you notice that the water from your sinks, bathtubs, and drains appears to be discolored and fragrant, you may have yourself a main water line break!
Another sign that your water main may be in need of replacement is unfamiliar, loud noises coming from your plumbing when not in use. If you notice water moving or other random plumbing noises while these appliances are not being used, your water line is in need of professional assistance.
Lastly, if you notice that many of your toilets, sinks, or shower drains are constantly getting clogged no matter how much snaking or store-bought drain cleaner you use, your water line is either clogged or has broken entirely. This can also happen if your sewer line is clogged or broken as well. Either way, you will need to call in our experts to help determine whether a repair or replacement is necessary.
