To most homeowners, leaking pipes are a real annoyance. But often that annoyance can turn into a costly headache if not delt with in a timely manner. That’s because over time, plumbing leaks lead to pipe corrosion, and that can result in serious damage to your entire plumbing system! That’s why when you first notice a leak, it’s always a good idea to get it taken care of as soon as possible.
What Causes Pipes to Leak?
There are a variety of reasons pipes begin to leak:
Foundational Shifts
Over time your home’s foundation will settle. This can cause significant changes to your water lines, causing them to crack, break, or completely disengage.
High Water Pressure
Who doesn’t love a shower under good water pressure? The problem is, water rushing through your pipes at high speeds is often too much for your pipes to handle day after day, week after week and so on. Eventually your pipes experience wear and tear and small holes and cracks can begin to form.
Tree Roots
Trees are beautiful and provide excellent shade to your property. Unfortunately, from a plumbing perspective, tree roots can be a real pain, making their way into your pipes, causing major issues.
Old Pipes
Older homes in the area typically have copper or stirred steel pipes, which can’t really stand up to rust all that well.
Temperature Changes
Extreme temperature changes are notorious for cracking your pipes and causing leaks.
