Broken pipes are one of the leading causes of water destruction in homes, and nearly every homeowner will experience a pipe burst or leak at some point.
Homes contain numerous pipes that can burst or crack. These pipes feed water or drain water from your fixtures and appliances. They include sewage and sinks pipes located in the slab, interior or exterior walls, or even ceilings. Regardless of where the pipe is found, it’s crucial to fix broken pipes quickly to prevent water damage, mildew, or mold growth.
Signs of leaking or broken pipes:
Sometimes cracked or damaged pipes aren’t obvious. Pipes can burst or leak without warning, and it can be days, weeks, or even months before you notice the signs of a damaged pipe. Acting fast once you spot a leaking or broken pipe is critical.
Visual signs such as standing water or stains on ceilings.
- Water bill increase due to increased usage.
- Lack of pressure if it is a feed line.
- Slow drains if they have been invaded by plants or debris.
Why replace the pipe?
Even small leaks that only are a pinhole and create small drops of water can cause extensive damage over time.
Much like during a flood, leaking water from pipes may damage your property and belongings, and your furniture, appliances, carpets, rugs, and even clothes can be ruined in a broken pipe accident. Water left unattended can cause bacteria and mold which could impact your family’s health. Another issue that can arise from excessive moisture from a broken pipe is that many different pests and insects thrive in these areas.
