Our team at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Bowling Green is skilled in handling all types of pipe repair and replacement. Depending on the nature of the leak and the condition of your plumbing system, we may recommend various solutions.
For minor leaks, we can often apply a durable patch to the affected area, effectively sealing the leak and preventing further damage. In cases where the pipe has been compromised by corrosion or other damage but is still structurally sound, we can reline the interior of the pipe with a durable, long-lasting material that prevents leaks and restores the pipe's functionality.
When a pipe is severely damaged or has reached the end of its service life, we may recommend complete pipe replacement. Our plumbers will carefully remove the old pipe and install a new one, ensuring a seamless and leak-free connection.
Causes of Leaking Pipes
There are several factors that can contribute to leaking pipes in your home. Understanding these causes can help you prevent future leaks and maintain the integrity of your plumbing system.
Leaking pipes may be caused by:
- Corrosion: Over time, pipes may corrode due to exposure to water and other substances. This can weaken the pipe walls and lead to small holes or cracks that allow water to seep out.
- High Water Pressure: Excessive water pressure can put a strain on your pipes, causing them to crack or burst. Regularly monitoring your water pressure and adjusting it as needed can help prevent this issue.
- Temperature Changes: Extreme temperature fluctuations can cause pipes to expand and contract, potentially leading to cracks and leaks. Insulating your pipes and maintaining a consistent indoor temperature can help minimize this risk.
- Tree Roots: Tree roots can infiltrate your plumbing system, causing blockages and putting pressure on your pipes. Regular maintenance, including professional drain cleaning and root removal, can help prevent this issue.
- Age: As pipes age, they become more susceptible to leaks. Regular inspections and timely repairs or replacements can help extend the lifespan of your plumbing system.
At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we are committed to helping homeowners protect their homes from the damage caused by leaking pipes. Our expert plumbers are available 24/7 to provide prompt, reliable service when you need it most.
