The mold under the sink or discoloration on the walls and ceiling often indicates a plumbing leak. When you notice any of these signs, it’s important to call a reliable plumbing company like BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air right away to avoid costly and extensive repairs. Some of the leading causes of leaks include:
1. Broken Seals
Plumbers use rubber sealants around the water line connections when installing a dishwasher. These seals deteriorate over time and allow water in. If you notice puddles or condensation around your appliances, it is a sign that the seals need to be replaced. Likewise, a plumber, will look for broken valves if your dishwasher leaks despite a good seal.
2. Clogs
Clogs block the water flow and prevent waste from entering the sewer system. Clogs can be caused by various factors, including hair, wipes, food scraps, toys, sanitary products, and paper towels. Many people use chemical drain cleaners to unclog their drains, and while these chemicals can help dislodge clogs, if used too frequently, they can corrode metal pipes and cause leaks. In case of an emergency, BullsEye Plumbing Heating and Air is always ready to offer you the best plumbing services.
3. High Water pressure
Water pressure in a home should range between 40 and 60 psi, meanwhile, the pressure range in urban systems is between 30 and 80 psi. Excessive water pressure in a home can damage pipes, faucets, and result in an emergency plumbing problem. In addition, your pipes will begin to leak if the water pressure becomes too high. A plumber can install a pressure-reducing valve on your home’s main water pipe to reduce pressure.
Various factors can cause water leaks, but the outcomes are almost always negative. Attempting to repair a pipe leak on your own can be dangerous and costly. Instead, contact BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air for professional plumbing repairs.
