Your water lines are old. Water lines are quite sturdy, but they do age. Do your old water pipes need replacing? Old water pipes can leak. They can give you miserable water pressure. Water lines can also rust, which will severely impact the quality of water that you receive. The degradation of the pipe can affect your water as chemicals leach into the water. Are you noticing that your water has become brown, or that dirt is in it? This can indicate that soil is getting into your water from a break somewhere in the water line.

Tree roots have invaded. Tree roots are designed to travel and grow towards water and nutrient sources that they need to survive. If a tree is struggling to supply itself with a sufficient amount of water and/or nutrients, their roots can travel great distances to find what they need to survive. That being said, since your trees are built to seek out water and may be drawn to moisture escaping from small cracks, holes, or poorly sealed joints in your water line. As the roots seek out the water within your water line, they can often grow through, or penetrate the line, causing extensive damage.
