What Are Water Mains? – Water mains are the primary underground pipes responsible for distributing potable water from its source to various points of use. These pipes are typically made of durable materials like ductile iron, PVC, HDPE or MDPE, and all homes around Wallington, Sutton and Banstead rely on them.
Responsibility for Water Mains – The responsibility for water mains often falls on municipalities or water utility companies. However, property owners may also have responsibilities concerning the maintenance and repair of water service lines that connect their properties to the municipal water system.
When Replacement is Necessary – Water mains are designed to withstand decades of use, but over time, they may deteriorate due to factors like age, corrosion, soil conditions, or damage from external forces. When they develop significant leaks, experience frequent breaks, or exhibit signs of structural weakness, water main replacement may become necessary to ensure continued water supply reliability and prevent potential hazards like flooding or contamination; and that’s where our plumbers step in!
