How To Spot A Water Leak

A water or slab leak in your home can cause serious property damage if not caught quickly. Some of the signs of a water leak inside your walls are peeling paint and wet bulging drywall. In the case of an upstairs bathroom leak, you could see the damage to the ceiling downstairs. In some cases, a small leak under a bathroom or kitchen sink may show signs of mold or swollen particleboard. A high water bill might be the first sign of a slab leak. If gone undetected altogether, you could experience buckling tiles, laminate floors coming up, wet carpets, and linoleum bulging. When you notice the signs of a water leak, call for leak detection services in Murrieta, CA. 

Poor Installation

Poor installation is one reason your pipes will leak. Unfortunately, you may not notice this until years later because poorly installed pipes may not show themselves for 10 or 20 years. If you are in a track home, you would never know the plumber who installed your pipes. 

Corrosion

Pitting is one form of corrosion and probably the most common. It occurs inside your copper pipes and is likely to result in a pinhole leak. Pitting corrosion is an attack on the walls of your copper pipes isolated to one specific area and is associated with hard water. 

High Water Pressure 

High water pressure may sound like a luxury; it may even feel good, but without a doubt, it will put a strain on your pipes. Your pipes, joints, and appliances, including your water heater, are designed to withstand 80 psi, but the recommended psi is around 60; anything over 80 will put a strain on your plumbing system. It will put stress on the pipe joints and lead to them leaking. When you need to locate a leak, Murrieta Plumbing has the leak detection service specialist you need.
