Making sure your pipes stay intact is essential to any home upkeep plan. The problem is that not all leaks are apparent. Sometimes the leak is so small that the naked eye cannot detect it. Other times leaks happen in pipes that are not usually visible. There are a variety of places where leaks can occur, and likewise, there are a lot of things that can cause a leak.
Wear and tear on the pipe.
Pipes, just like all things, can and do deteriorate over time. Pipes freezing during the winter or lines getting old can and will cause leaks over time. Repairing and fixing these leaks are all part of home and business maintenance.
Chemical corrosion
Sometimes the chemical buildup of your tap water can cause corrosion of your pipes over time. Harsh chemical drain cleaners not adequately washed out can also eat away at your pipes and cause leaks.
Tree roots and ground settling
Mother nature is not always on our side in our homes. Tree and plant roots can grow into your piping system and cause extensive damage.
There are many risks to you, your family, and your home regarding a leak. From a health perspective, water leaks can cause mold, leading to sickness or worse if exposed to the mold over time. Gas leaks are just, if not more dangerous, because they are usually harder to notice and can have life-threatening side effects. There are also cost damages associated with a leak, such as excessive water and utility bills. Finally, damage to your personal property or home can be caused by a leak.
