WHAT CAUSES WATER LEAKS?

Water leaks in your plumbing system can have a variety of causes, including corrosion, aging pipes, pipe blockages and clogs, damaged seals or gaskets, improperly installed pipes or fixtures, ground movement, temperature, and water pressure that is too high.

Corrosion can occur in different metals depending on the conditions surrounding them, such as the presence of electrolytes like saltwater. Aging pipes can deteriorate from the inside out due to age-related wear and tear. Pipe blockages and clogs can occur due to mineral deposits or other debris that accumulate over time. Damaged seals or gaskets can cause water to leak when the seal is not properly fitted or has been worn away. Improperly installed fixtures may be installed without enough support or with inadequate seals that lead to leaks. Ground movement (such as earthquakes) can cause pipes to become loose, potentially leading to slab leaks or burst pipes. Finally, excessive water pressure within the pipe system will eventually cause it to burst if not addressed quickly.

Signs of a Potential Water Leak

  • A Decrease in Water Pressure: If you notice your taps and showerheads don’t produce as much water as they normally do, this could be a sign of a plumbing leak.
  • Discolored or Damp Walls and/or Ceilings: If you see areas on the walls or ceiling that appear to be discolored, wet, or even bulging, then it could indicate a plumbing issue such as a leak.
  • Unusual Sounds Coming from Your Pipes: If you hear dripping noises from within the walls, then it could suggest there is a slow-moving pipe leak.
  • A Constant Need to Refill Your Toilet Tank: If your toilet tank needs to be refilled on a regular basis with fresh water, then this is another potential indication of a plumbing leak.
  • Musty Odors Coming from Under Your Sink: Foul-smelling odors can indicate that somewhere in your plumbing system, there is an untreated water leak.
  • High Utility Bills: If your water bill seems unusually high for no apparent reason, it could point to an undetected hidden water leak.

If you suspect that your plumbing system may be leaking, don’t wait – call Service Plumbing at (352) 525-2255.

We Find Plumbing Leaks, You Save Money

Leaks can be one of the biggest drains on a household’s water bill. The average home loses about 10,000 gallons of water each year due to leaks, which costs its owner up to $500 or more annually in utilities. However, you don’t have to wait until your water bill goes through the roof to detect potential plumbing problems; Service Plumbing is here to help you identify leaks in their early stages and address them before they become major problems.

If possible, try to do a walk-through of your house periodically and look for any suspicious signs that could indicate a plumbing leak—such as the ones mentioned above. Additionally, make sure all outside hoses are disconnected when not in use, and turn off all interior faucets (even those used only occasionally). These steps can help minimize the chances of water waste due to an unnoticed plumbing problem.

Let the team at Service Plumbing help you detect water leaks and save time and money. Call us at or contact us online today!

While it is possible to repipe a home yourself, it is not recommended, as it can be a difficult and dangerous process. Repiping a home requires working with water and pipes, which can easily lead to accidents if not done correctly. It is best to leave this job to the professionals.

If your water pressure is low, you may need to call a plumber to have your water pressure checked. Low water pressure can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a clogged water filter or a leaky faucet. It’s important to address low water pressure as soon as possible, as it can lead to water waste and increased energy costs.

It is recommended that you clean your drains every six months. However, if water is backing up into the tub, sink, or toilet in your home when you flush it, then you need to call a plumber right away to clean the drain. If water backs up into your sink, then it’s probably coming from your shower and vice versa. Cleaning out the lines will prevent water from backing up into your home.

There are a few effective ways to clear a grease-clogged drain.

  • Use boiling water and dish soap to break up grease buildup.
  • Pour water mixed with baking soda into the drain, then pour vinegar on top of it to get a chemical reaction that breaks down grease.
  • Drain cleaners can also remove water buildup and hard water scale.
  • Plumbers recommend using a water-powered mechanical drain cleaner to clear clogs altogether. These machines are easy to use and clear away any type of clog quickly.

For a badly clogged drain, you may need to hire a professional plumber that can clear out the drain with special equipment.

Water heaters come in a variety of sizes, and the size you need depends on how much water your household uses. Here are some general water heater size guidelines:

  • If you use less than 40 gallons of water per day, a 40- or 50-gallon water heater will be large enough.
  • If you use between 40 and 80 gallons of water per day, a water heater with a capacity of 60 or 80 gallons will probably be required.
  • If you use over 80 gallons of water per day, an 85-gallon water heater should provide an adequate supply.

 

Note that these are general guidelines only; how much water your household actually uses may vary. To be sure you have the right water heater size, consult with a plumbing professional.
