Common Locations for Plumbing Leaks
A leak can happen just about anywhere in your plumbing system. However, certain components and areas are known trouble spots.
Keep a close eye out for leaks in the following areas:
Our team at Master Plumbing, Heating & Air has specialized equipment to find even the smallest water leaks without damaging your home. We can fix water leaks of all sizes in any location.
We generally start the leak detection process with a comprehensive visual inspection to identify immediate signs of moisture or structural damage. When the problem lies out of sight, we can guide high-definition video cameras through your sewer lines and pipes to pinpoint cracks, root intrusion, or loose connections.
To locate the most elusive leaks behind walls or beneath concrete, we can use leak detection equipment that amplifies the sound of escaping water. We may also employ thermal imaging cameras to reveal temperature differences caused by dampness that the naked eye cannot see. By layering these diagnostic methods, we can identify the exact location of the issue and recommend the most effective repair strategy, all while minimizing disruption to your home.
What Causes Water Pipe Leaks?
Quite a few things can cause a water leak. Understanding what specifically caused the leak helps us determine the most appropriate repair or replacement method.
Some of the most common causes of plumbing leaks we tend to see include:
Age-related wear. Pipes weaken as they age, increasing the risk of cracks and other damage.
Accidents. Landscaping or construction work in your yard may lead to accidentally puncturing a water line.
Extreme weather. If the water in your pipes freezes, it will expand, potentially weakening the pipe until it breaks.
Tree roots. Trees growing over buried lines may penetrate the pipe to reach the moisture within.
Clogs. Major clogs can increase the water pressure inside pipes until the pipe bursts.
How Can I Help Prevent Leaks?
Regular maintenance and inspections of your plumbing system are essential if you want to prevent major leaks. You should consider annual plumbing check-ups to detect early signs of wear and tear, which can lead to leaks over time. Investing in preventative measures can save both time and money in the long run.
By joining our Green Club, we can keep your plumbing system running safely and smoothly throughout the year. Our pricing is straightforward, and scheduling our award-winning services is as easy as picking up the phone.
Additionally, you should insulate your pipes against cold weather, replace pipes and fixtures that reached the end of their service lives, and be mindful of changes in water pressure. After taking a look at your plumbing system, we can provide personalized advice on how to reduce the odds of leaks.
