  1. Help! My Water Line Burst, What Do I Do Next?

  2. A burst water line can create an extremely stressful situation. Not only can a burst water line cause significant damage to your property, but it can also result in prolonged water outages and expensive repair or water line replacement bills. This blog will cover the first steps you should take after noticing a water line rupture to help mitigate potential damage and get your water flowing again sooner by the time an expert comes to the scene to take care of the rest.

  3. In most districts throughout the Lower Mainland, water services are owned and operated by the city; they control the main water line to the curb stop or shut- off valve. Property owners have two ways to have the water supply to their homes temporally cut off, they can request a city crew to come and shut off the water for a fee, or they can request a shut-off key and turn the water supply off themselves for free. Turn Off the Water Supply to Your Home

  4. Both plumbers and drainage companies can offer assistance in locating the source of a water main leak. However, drainage contractors are generally the preferred resource for issues about leaks outside the home. The reason is drainage contractors are experts in their field, much, in the same way, plumbers are experts in theirs; they have the experience, tools, and technology to locate and diagnose even complex drainage problems with minimal disruption to your property. Call a Professional

  5. While unlikely, if a water main bursts in your yard, it would be wise to verify that there is no damage to the inside walls of your home. Depending on the extent of the water leak and how long it has been leaking, it is possible that water would have infiltrated your foundation walls, causing water damage and mold to grow within your home. Ensure There is No Damage Inside Your Home

  6. By now your drainage contractor should have provided a detailed document on what went wrong with your water line and your options for water line repair or replacement. Depending on the state of your existing pipes and what action is required to restore the water service to your home might involve a relatively simple water line repair or a complete water line replacement. Repair or Replace and Restore
