One of the most common causes of water line damage is naturally aging pipes. The water lines flowing underneath your business work hard daily to transfer water. Over the years, they naturally break down. Some of the many causes of water line damage include the following:
- Ground Movement – When the ground freezes and thaws, it puts pressure on the pipes, which can lead to damage.
- Aging Pipes – Older water lines cannot withstand excessive pressure and will crack over time.
- Improper Installation – If your water lines are incorrectly installed, they wear down faster.
- Tree Root Intrusion – Tree roots sometimes grow into tiny cracks in your water pipes as they search for hydration.
- Rodent Damage – Pests can create small holes and damage your pipes over time.
