Reasons for Water Pipe Leak

Understanding the causes of pipes leaking helps identify some of them. Here are some of the most common reasons why pipes might leak:

Broken Seals: Over time, the water connector’s seal can wear out and result in a leak.

Clogged Pipes: Sometimes, when objects or debris get inside the pipe, it can cause excess pressure and the pipes can burst.

Corrosion: Pipes can be corroded due to old age or because of the presence of some chemicals. Corrosion can cause pipes to leak.

Damaged Pipe Joints: Joints, where the pipes connect, are weak and can develop a leak after some time.

High Water Pressure: An increase in the level of water pressure induces strain in the pipes, hence causing stress.

Tree Roots: Roots may penetrate underground pipes, causing damage and possible leaks.

Temperature Changes: Sudden temperature changes can lead to pipes’ expansion and contraction, causing them to crack.

Stainless Steel: These are rust-resistant pipes used for the hot water supply line.

PEX (Cross-linked Polyethylene): Flexible and easy to install; and it is used in water supply lines.

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene): Used in drain and vent pipes in older buildings.

How Do You Recognise a Water Pipe Leak?

Sound of Dripping or Rushing Water: If water is running, but all your taps are closed, then maybe there is a leak.

Unexplainable Increase in Utility Bill: A sudden, sharp increase in your water bill may be due to an unattended leak.

Standing Water without Any Source: Puddles of water without any source are a sign of a leak.

Growth of Mold or Water Stains: If a hidden leak were there, then there would surely be mold or water stains over the ceilings or walls.
