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.

Different Types of Water Pipes Used in Singapore

There are different types of pipes used in a plumbing system. Knowledge of the type of pipe within your house can help you understand possible issues and the different leaking pipe repair solutions:

PPR (Polypropylene Random Copolymer): These are the types of pipes used in hot water systems; they are durable and eco-friendly.

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

PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride): Common in drain and waste pipes, these are easy to install and lightweight.

Rigid Copper: Durable and safe, so it is preferred for water supply lines.

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.

Flexible Copper: This is easy to shape and, therefore, used in connecting appliances.

Cast Iron: It is used on sewer lines in old buildings as it is durable.

Galvanized Steel: This was once common but are now mostly found in old installations.

How Do You Recognise a Water Pipe Leak?

Early detection of water leaks can save you from costly repairs. Here are some signs that you might 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.

Visual Inspection: Regularly check visible pipes for signs of wear, rust, or drips.

Our Customer Reviews

The visit by the first plumber sent by K Heng plumbing did not solve the problem. The second team sent by K Heng plumbing, Raju and Durai, came down and solved the problem within 5 minutes. Overall I would still say this is a responsible company. Highly recommend Raju’s services. Thank you very much!!

Raja came to change the old bottle trap of my bathroom basin. It had rusted through causing a leak. I was quite amazed that he was able to get it done SINGLE-HANDEDLY within such a confined space without removing the pedestal. I could see that he is skillful. The charges were very reasonable. I would recommend them.
