Understanding the Causes of Leaks

Household and commercial plumbing leaks are one of the most dangerous problems in a building. Water damage is the result of a leak, and in many cases, the origin of the problem is not immediately evident. Moisture in your floors, walls, and ceiling starts to grow mold in 48 hours. If you see moisture in your walls or have an obvious leak, Farrell Plumbing will send a plumber in Port Richey, FL who has the tools and expertise for water leak detection to determine the source of the leak and fix it.

Leak detection specialists recognize these main causes of plumbing leaks:

• Pinhole leaks occur on a regular basis in the Tampabay area as the copper water lines age over time. We regularly find and fix pinhole copper leaks in walls, and under the concrete slab. When you find water leaking and pooling, it can be seeping through the slab from many feet away. The only way to determine where the pinhole is located is via our leak detection and repair service.
• Clogged drains can result in broken pipes especially when the pressure of the block becomes great. This is most commonly seen in HVAC systems and gutters.
• Broken or worn-out seals on older appliances such as washing machines or dishwashers
• Corrosion occurs mainly in old pipes. Leak detection services may recommend you replace older pipes before they start to leak and cause water damage in your home or office.
• Weak pipe joints can be a source of leaking. Damaged pipe joints may not be obvious, but if you hear a banging sound when you turn on the hot water, there is a good chance you have a damaged joint. This can be caused by tree roots but may also occur in old pipes.
• Tree roots are a major cause of leaking and can only be verified by underground leak detection. If the leaking pipe is in your yard, you may see areas of greenery in unusual places or places where you never water plants. If the underground leak is under your home, you may not even be aware of it, but notice your water bill increasing.
