Causes of Water Pipe Leaks
Quite a few things can cause a water leak. The most common causes of water leaks we see here in Cedar Rapids include:
- Old Pipes: Pipes weaken as they age, increasing the risk of cracks and other damage.
- Accidents: Landscaping or construction work in the 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: Clogging can increase the water pressure inside pipes until the pipe bursts.
Let us make sure your pipes, water heater tank, or other plumbing fixtures are in good condition. Call us today!
