Water damage is one of the most serious perils inside a home. Tiny leaks may be hidden for weeks or small drips ignored as if they are harmless, but damp places under floorboards and behind walls become the breeding ground for mold, a very unhealthy addition to your indoor air quality. Your first line of defense is our licensed Abington plumber who has the expertise and experience to find even the smallest pinhole leaks in your indoor and outdoor plumbing system.
Another important issue is water wastage. You may not even realize that water is flowing away. If your water meter is showing water use even when you know all the taps are turned off, you must have a leak in your income water that is raising your water bill. You may not be able to know if you have a leak in a wastewater pipe because there is no measurement of the gray water leaving your home. If you have damp places around your outside walls and foundation, you may need grey water leaky pipe repair. Another sign is a spot on your lawn that seems to grow longer and greener than the rest. Some of the places to check for leaks are:
- Taps in the kitchen, bathroom, laundry room and outdoors
- Under basin cupboards and sinks
- Toilet cisterns that never fill up and allow water to continue draining down the bowl
- Toilet wastewater that overflows when the toilet is flushed
- Shower trays especially if they are upstairs and may be leaking into the ceiling below
- Water heater leaks in the basement especially from older systems
- Water pipe leaks inside the walls
It is important to check these places regularly. Some leaks and moisture cannot be seen with the naked eye and require the equipment of our Abington plumber.
The water systems in your home, both the incoming fresh water and the outgoing gray water are essential for a healthy lifestyle.
