Causes and Prevention of Leaking Pipes
Why does water start leaking from a pipe? Multiple things can cause leaks, including frozen pipes. However, whether or not it is a drain pipe or supply line can help you to narrow down the possibilities.
Leaking drain pipes – these issues are often caused by a broken seal. If you had a clog and used a plunger to fix it, you may have put enough pressure on the pipe to cause a leak.
Leaking supply lines – freezing, shifting ground, or damage during a renovation project are all common causes of a supply line leak. No matter the cause, you need professionals to ensure a proper fix so you can feel confident that the fresh, clean water coming into your home is safe for everyone to use.
As soon as you notice a leaking pipe, it would help if you act as soon as possible. Until we arrive, it is wise to try turning off the water supply to the area or not using the fixture for the time being.
