Frequently Asked Questions
Can a vent pipe leak water
Yes. Vent pipes are usually made from the same materials as drainage pipes. Over time, these pipes can corrode and fail. This is the most common reason a vent pipe begins to leak water.
Does homeowners’ insurance cover water line breaks?
If the damaged water pipe is inside your home or on your property, your homeowners’ insurance probably covers the damage caused by the water leak. If the damaged pipe is outside the house or beyond your property line, your policy probably does not cover damage to the house.
How to stop a leaky pipe connection:
The method for repairing a pipe connection differs based on what materials the pipe and joint are made of. The safest course of action in the event of a leaky pipe connection is to turn off the water, clean up any standing water, contain the leak with a bucket, and call your local plumber.
How far down are water lines?
The answer depends on where your home is located, and guidelines vary wildly. Many municipalities require pipes to be placed four feet deep, while some extreme northern locations bury water pipes ten feet down! In general terms, water supply lines must be buried below the frost line and at least as deep as local building codes require.
