How Do Plumbing Leaks Happen?
It’s impossible to pinpoint a single reason for water leaks in your home, but some issues are pretty standard. Typically, leaks occur in the following areas:
- Kitchen & bathroom leak repairs
- Floor drains
- Showerheads
- Behind walls
- Under sinks
- Sewer Lines
We often get called to deal with toilet leaks involving a damaged flapper or a worn-out flush valve. However, if you smell a foul odour, the problem usually lies with the seal underneath the toilet.
Other than that, most of the issues in a pipeline occur due to increased pressure. Although a pipeline can withstand a maximum water pressure of 80 PSI, a sudden increase in pressure damages the system, leading to leaks.
Another unavoidable problem is corroded pipes, for which no foolproof solution exists. No treatment can stop corrosion, but with maintenance, you can increase the longevity of the pipeline. Some avoidable causes of water leaks:
- Broken seals
- Blocked drains
- Tree root invasions
- Rapid temperature changes
- Old or worn-out pipes
