Leaking pipes are a common household problem that can lead to costly repairs and serious damage if not addressed promptly. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Rochester, we understand the importance of identifying and resolving leaking pipe issues as quickly as possible. Our plumbers are equipped to diagnose and repair leaks, protecting your home from further damage.
There are several factors that can contribute to leaking pipes. Over time, pipes can deteriorate, leading to leaks. Older homes with galvanized steel or cast-iron pipes are particularly susceptible to this issue. Also, excessive water pressure can strain your plumbing system, causing pipes to crack or burst.
Corrosion is another common issue that causes pipes to burst or leak. Chemical reactions between your pipes and the water they carry can lead to corrosion, which weakens the pipes and makes them prone to leaks.
