Common Causes of Leaks
When a leak occurs you may be uncertain of the exact cause of the problem. While leaks can develop in your water heater, toilets, faucets, pipes, and other parts of your plumbing, it’s important to bring in a professional plumber who will be able to pinpoint the precise location and source of the leak.
Some of the Most Frequent Culprits of Leaking Pipes Include:
- Age of your home: If you live in an older home especially, the pipes may have deteriorated, the natural shifting of a structure can the joints in your home’s plumbing to loosen or separate.
- Changes in temperature: The number one cause of water leaks is freezing cold temperatures. Frozen water inside your pipes can cause them to crack and leak. However, if you live in a milder climate, there is still cause for concern. Extreme changes in the hot and cold water flowing through your water pipes can cause some pipes to crack or even burst, resulting in leakage.
- Water pressure: Unregulated water pressure can burst or crack your pipes and cause leakage. For this reason, it is recommended that you install a water pressure regulator in your home.
- Drainage clogs: Clogged pipes are a common occurrence in almost every household. Drain clogs can be caused by a number of things, including, food, grease, hair, paper towels. Just about anything that goes down the drain can clog a pipe. If you notice that your clogs are slow to drain, it is probably a sign that you have a clog. If not attended to promptly, a clog can cause leakage from the plumbing joints and eventually flooding.
