Signs You Need Water Pipe Repair or Replacement

Sometimes a water leak is relatively easy to detect. Other times, a leak can go unnoticed for long enough to cause significant damage to your home. By looking out for the following signs, you can help stop water pipe leaks as soon as they begin. Check for the following indications of leaks and call our team right away, so we can provide you with water pipe repair:

• Water accumulating outside: When a pipe leaks and there is nowhere for the leaking water to go, it can bubble up in the street, cracks in your driveway, or saturate areas of your yard. When unaddressed, these wet areas can cause sinkholes and prove hazardous for animals and children.
• Puddles or wet spots inside: Pay close attention to the areas around sinks, toilets, and tubs in your home. Puddles on the floor, discolored areas, or even wet spots on the ceiling can be indicative of a water pipe leak. This includes damp drywall and wet rings on the ceiling.
• Foundational cracks: If you have noticed cracks in the foundation of your home, a leaking pipe may be the culprit behind the structural damage. Contact our team before the water further weakens your home and causes more severe problems.
• Low water pressure and high water bills: When you receive an unexpectedly high water bill, the excess expense may be due to a leak. It is generally a good idea to check for other signs of plumbing damage before assuming a leak is the cause. Low water pressure can also indicate a leak or damage in your pipes.
• Unusual sounds or odor: Do you hear whistling in the pipes, bubbling in the sink, or dripping and banging noises coming from your piping? These may indicate leaks or broken pipes. The odor of sewage and dirty water can also waft through your home when you have a water leak.
