Water line issues in Castle Rock homes take two forms: failures in the main supply line between the water meter and the home, and problems in the interior supply distribution system within the home. Main supply line failures often appear as unexplained increases in the water bill, wet spots in the yard along the line route, or reduced pressure that developed gradually. Interior supply line problems manifest as low pressure at specific fixtures, chronic pinhole leaks in copper lines, or the classic symptoms of galvanized pipe in older homes where rust-colored water and steadily declining flow indicate a system that has been deteriorating for years. WireNut diagnoses which situation a specific Castle Rock home is dealing with before recommending a repair scope.

Water line leaks located through professional detection are often handled in conjunction with our leak detection service. For pipe repairs within the home structure, our pipe repair and installation service covers that scope. See the full Castle Rock plumbing services page for everything we offer.

• Main supply line leak repair for leaks in the line between the water meter and the home that are causing unexplained water consumption or soft spots in the yard.
• Main supply line replacement when the existing supply line has failed or has deteriorated to the point where repair is not a lasting solution.
• Galvanized pipe replacement for older Castle Rock homes where aging steel supply lines have restricted flow to the point of causing low pressure throughout the home.
• Pressure regulator replacement for Castle Rock homes where a failed pressure reducing valve has caused water pressure to drop or spike above the safe range.
• Interior supply line repair for specific failures in the distribution piping within the home, including pinhole leaks, failed joints, and damaged sections.

Here are the water line projects our Castle Rock plumbers handle most often.

Why Is My Castle Rock Home’s Water Pressure Low?

Low water pressure throughout a Castle Rock home points to one of a few causes. A partially closed main shutoff valve is the simplest explanation and worth checking first. A failed or improperly adjusted pressure reducing valve, which is required in most Castle Rock homes because municipal supply pressure exceeds what home plumbing is designed for, is one of the most common causes of suddenly reduced pressure. Galvanized pipe that has progressively restricted over years is the cause when the low pressure has developed gradually in an older home. A main supply line leak between the meter and the home can also reduce pressure by allowing water to escape before it reaches the home. WireNut diagnoses which of these is actually causing the low pressure in your Castle Rock home before recommending a fix.

How Do I Know If My Castle Rock Main Water Line Is Leaking?

Signs of a main supply line leak include an unexplained increase in your water bill, wet or unusually green areas of the yard along the path from the meter to the house, the sound of running water when all fixtures are off, and a water meter that continues to move with all household water use shut off. Confirming a main line leak requires professional leak detection to locate the specific failure point before excavation. WireNut uses detection equipment to pinpoint main line leaks in Castle Rock yards accurately to minimize the excavation required.
