What Causes Leaks?

Leaks can have a variety of causes but inevitably all leaks can lead to significant damage to a home. The following are some of the most common causes of water leaks:

  • Broken seals: Seals can break over time, allowing water to escape from the pipe. This can be due to age, extreme temperatures, or poor installation.
  • Clogged lines: Any blockage in the line will cause a build-up of pressure, which can lead to a leak. Blockages can come from grease, mineral deposits, or tree roots.
  • Corrosion: Rust or corrosion on metal pipes can create small holes and cracks that allow water to escape.
  • Damaged pipe joints: Pipes that don't fit together correctly due to cuts or bad installation can cause gaps where water can escape.
  • Excess water pressure: If the pressure of incoming water is too high, it may cause pipes or fittings to fail over time due to stress.

Why Leaks Are Concerning

Even a small leak can be extremely damaging if left unchecked. Not only can it cause water damage but also health concerns and expensive home and pipe repairs. Water damage can be especially problematic due to its lingering effects, which can go unnoticed and affect the market value of a home. In other cases, it can be absorbed into wood or drywall and damage the structure. For example, the support beams can be weakened and pose a dangerous situation.

Another concerning issue with leaks is mold and fungi. It's almost impossible to completely rid homes of spores and when they are exposed to moisture, the spores will activate and spread all around your home. These spores can cause all sorts of issues, ranging from mild irritation to complicated breathing issues. For those with pre-existing conditions, their reactions can be more severe. It’s therefore crucial to attend to any potential risks immediately before they spiral into something much worse.

Signs of Water Leaks

Regularly inspecting your home for any signs of a water leak should be an essential item on your maintenance list. Here are a few signs that indicate it’s time to call a technician. 

  1. Higher water bills: An undetected water leak can be the reason for unexplained bill increases. Small leaks can add up quickly and run up your water bill.
  2. Mold and mildew: The water and moisture from leaks can allow mold and mildew to grow. Not only is the appearance unpleasant, but it can cause respiratory issues for those exposed to it. 
  3. Water stains on ceilings: Dark spots and discoloration on ceilings can be signs of a water leak. 
  4. Sagging ceilings: a leaky roof or pipe can cause this and signals that you need immediate repair. Sagging ceilings are dangerous and can cause a complete collapse.
  5. Peeling/blistering paint: If the paint on your walls is beginning to peel or blister, this may be a sign that there is a leak behind it.
