Did you know that if the water pipe leading from the curb to your house should leak or break, you are responsible for repairing it?
Has your water bill risen suddenly? Have you noticed a puddle developing in your yard for no apparent reason? If so, you may have a leaking or broken water line. Most people don't realize that this water line – which runs from the public water main on the street to their private home - is their responsibility. This line can range from 20 feet to more than 200 feet depending on your property. Over time, unpreventable environmental conditions may cause your water line to deteriorate and/or crack.

Water line failure occurs throughout the year, however, it is most common in the winter months when lines are subject to freezing temperatures. When a leaking or broken outdoor water pipe occurs, a rapid response can prevent thousands of dollars worth of damage to your yard, landscaping, driveway and home. In addition, contaminated water has the potential of entering your home. Apple Plumbing services is backflow testing certified, licensed and insured. We specialize in quickly and efficiently repairing and/or replacing underground water lines. Our professionals will have clean water running back into your home in no time.

Your Home's Valves
• Customer Valve - Check to make sure the customer valve, located in the meter box, is completely in the "on" position. An incorrectly adjusted valve can restrict water flow.
• House Valve - Is located near the hose bib at the front of the residence. Check to make sure it is completely in the "on" position.

 

Pressure Regulators
Some areas may have too much water pressure, which can cause household appliances to malfunction. In those areas, pressure regulators are installed in compliance with local building codes. The pressure regulator provides protection to your house from unexpected water pressure surges.

The pressure regulator is a bell-shaped device and is typically installed on the inlet pipe, next to the hose bib and house valve. The regulators are preset by the manufacturer at about 50 - 60 psi. In most cases, they do not need to be adjusted. Incorrectly adjusting the regulator could cause water pressure that is too low or too high inside the home.
