Leak Detection & Repair

Signs You Have a Leak in your Home

Nearly 10% of homes have a hidden water leak that loses around 90 gallons of water a day. Early detection of a leak can save you a lot of money and prevent an unwanted disaster. Here are some signs that every homeowner should be aware of about the leaks as soon as possible.

• Increased water bills
• Reduced water pressure
• Wet spots in your yard
• Mold and fungus formation
• Nasty odors
• Hearing Running Water Sounds
• Visibly discolored pipes

Common Reasons for Household Water Leaks

A pipe leak can appear for many reasons. Many of these are out of your control but may be addressed by a plumbing professional. Here are some common causes of leaks:

• High Water Pressure: Most of the pipes are designed to handle a maximum amount of pressure. If the pressure is too high the pipe can burst and cause unwanted damage.
• Corrosion: As your plumbing system ages, rust and other forms of corrosion can damage the pipes. New pipes should be replaced by older ones to reduce corrosion.
• Intruding Tree Roots: Many of the water leaks start outside your home rather than inside. Tree root intrusion is one of the most destructive and expensive outside problems.
• Broken Seal: Pipe connectors seal the pipe with a rubber sealant. As your appliances age, the sealing can damage and even break over time.
• Extreme Temperature Fluctuations: Rapid changes from cold to hot or vice versa can cause the pipe to crack. Once you notice this drastic change in temperature, be sure to solve the problem solved immediately.
