A leaking pipe may not feel terribly urgent, but it often indicates a serious underlying problem with your plumbing system. A leak can indicate that your pipes have corrosion, broken seals or joints, or even clogged lines. In addition, the small drips from the pipes can lead to several other problems, ranging from increased water bills to structural damage and mold growth.
Since pipework is not always visible, a leak can go undetected and cause significant damage to your property. Fortunately, there will usually be signs, such as a stained ceiling or the sound of dripping water, that can alert you to the problem.
If you see or suspect a pipe leak, it is best to get in touch with Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Oswego County for expert plumbing services. Our licensed plumbers are skilled at performing commercial and residential leaking pipe repair and will get the job done right the first time.
How to Prevent Pipes From Leaking
A leak is a cause for concern and should be addressed immediately to avoid further damage. However, you can avoid that call altogether if you keep the leak from happening in the first place. Here are a few ways to help prevent pipe leaks in your home or business:
- Insulate your pipes to create a buffer that stops the metals from touching and limits the chance of corrosion
- Use cooler water more than hot water, and strive to maintain a pH between 6.5 and 8.5 to minimize corrosion
- Install a water softener to remove the minerals found in hard water that usually corrode pipes and cause leaks
- Keep the water pressure below 60 pounds per square inch (psi) — the ideal range is between 30-50 psi
- Regularly inspect under the sink for leaks, and tighten the fittings and seals if you feel moisture
