How can I prevent water line leaks?

To help prevent water line leaks, keep tree and shrub roots away from your water lines. Don’t allow vehicles or heavy equipment on your lawn where your water line runs. Make sure that you have modern water line materials, like Pex, polyethylene, or copper, as outdated materials like galvanized steel can corrode over time. Keep an eye on your water usage to identify any water line leaks as soon as they start.
