common reason for leaks
A pipe leak can occur for various reasons. Many of these are beyond your control and can only be addressed by a plumbing professional.
High Water Pressure: Most pipes are designed to handle a maximum amount of pressure; if it’s too high, the force of the water can strain the pipe walls until they burst.
Corrosion: Rust and other corrosion forms with age; it is visible as discolorations or warping of pipes. Older, worn pipe should be replaced with newer, more resilient materials.
Broken Seal: Pipe connectors have seals that can wear out over time, which can create leak points that put further strain on your plumbing system.
Damaged Joint: The connections between your pipes are often the weakest spots; a bad pipe joint can cause leaks and ticking and banging noises, especially when the hot water is on.
Cracks: Excess force, movement, or normal wear and tear can lead to cracks that become weak points for water to escape from.
Temperature Extremes: Rapid freezing and re-heating causes pipe to expand and contract, which in turn can cause it to crack.
Tree Root Intrusion: Water leaks often start outside in underground pipes; tree roots growing towards water sources can break through and clog pipe, which can lead to plumbing problems and wet patches or sink holes in your yard.
