Your water service can be one of the most frustrating utility bills in your household. Any number of problems can result in a monthly increase, and unless it’s over a prolonged period of time, the source can be tough to identify. While it’s commonly accepted that your water bill will fluctuate throughout the year, a steady increase can not only be the sign of a problem, but cost you quite a bit of money if left unchecked. If your water bill is on the rise, that means it’s time to call the professionals. At Charlotte Plumbing, our plumbers can come out to your residence and check your water main line to see if you might need a water main repair or a full replacement.

What Is a Water Main?

Your home’s water main is the primary pipe that brings water to your home. It is a private water line that connects your residence to the community's water supply source. It’s common to experience holes or cracks in the pipes, as over time external corrosion will wear them down. It’s important to be able to tell when your water main is having problems as an unnoticed leak or crack can cause extensive and expensive damage to your home. If you notice wet spots or mildew on your floors and walls, that is typically a sign that something might be up with your water main line.
