At Peel General Contracting, we understand how urgent and stressful these situations can be.

What Causes Water Main Breaks?
Water main breaks are typically caused by:
1. Aging Infrastructure: Many water mains in older neighborhoods are decades old, making them prone to failure.
2. Extreme Weather: Freezing and thawing cycles can cause pipes to crack or burst.
3. Ground Shifts: Construction or natural soil movement can stress water lines, leading to fractures.
4. High Water Pressure: Excess pressure in aging systems can result in catastrophic breaks.
Signs of a Water Main Break
Look out for these warning signs:
• Sudden drop in water pressure
• Water pooling in unexpected areas
• Discolored or muddy tap water
