While you may think a pipe may just be old, there may be other underlying issues that are causing the leak. Our professional plumbers can pinpoint the source of your leak and take proactive steps to ensure it doesn't happen again.
Here are some of the most common causes of plumbing leaks:
- Aging – Over time, pipes can corrode, rust, or wear out, leading to leaks.
- High water pressure – High water pressure can cause wear and tear on pipes leading to failure and leaks, whether from a frozen pipe or a clogged drain.
- Tree roots – Tree roots can invade pipes and cause pressure, which can lead to leaks.
- Shifts in soil – Over time, soil can shift or move and cause pressure on pipes, breaking them.
- Chemicals – Exposure to harsh chemicals or substances can damage pipes and cause leaks.
- Poor installation – Poor installation can cause pipes to become loose and lead to leaks.
Of course, understanding the cause of the leak isn’t always possible by just looking at it. That’s why it’s important to trust a plumber to properly diagnose and assist with any repair needed to get your pipes working again in no time!
