What Causes Hidden Water Leaks?
- Corrosion: Years of wear let rust and other corrosive forces eat at pipes, opening up cracks, holes, and loose connections.
- Freezing: As it freezes, water swells and can split or burst a pipe, which then leaks the moment things thaw out.
- Clogs: Hair, cooking grease, and the like pile up inside pipes over time, and that backed-up pressure can rupture them.
- Intrusions: Underground utilities often fall prey to tree roots, which work their way right into the pipes.
- High water pressure: A failed water pressure regulator can unleash high-pressure jets that batter your pipes.
- Improper installation: Plumbing that went in incorrectly tends to develop loose connections and other faults that spring leaks.
