What Causes Piping Leaks?

A variety of issues can cause a pipe to spring a leak. Addressing common causes of plumbing leaks through regular maintenance checks and prompt repairs can help prevent leaks and protect your home from water damage.

Leaky pipes can be caused by many factors, including:

Corrosion. Pipes, especially those made from metal, will experience corrosion over time due to a variety of factors, including minerals in the water and the temperature of the water running through them. This corrosion weakens the pipes, making them more susceptible to leaks.
High water pressure. While strong water pressure may be desirable for showers and faucets, too much pressure can put undue stress on your home's piping system, leading to leaks. Pipes are designed to withstand a certain level of pressure, and consistently exceeding this limit can cause joints to weaken and burst.
Temperature fluctuations. Extreme temperature changes can cause pipes to expand and contract, a process that can eventually lead to cracks and leaks, especially in areas where the insulation may not be adequate.
Clogs. Blockages caused by hair, grease, and other debris can lead to increased pressure inside the pipes, making them prone to leaks. In severe cases, clogs can cause pipes to burst, leading to significant damage and necessitating costly repairs.
Poor pipe installation or repairs. Incorrectly installed or repaired pipes can lead to weak joints or breaks in the pipeline. Hiring qualified professionals for any plumbing work is crucial to ensure that your piping system is secure and leak-free.

Some Leaks Are Tough to Detect

“Hidden” plumbing leaks can be a homeowner’s worst nightmare. A practically invisible leak hidden behind your walls, ceiling, or floors could cause extensive damage to your home for days, weeks, or even months before you become aware of the problem. Early detection is crucial in preventing further damage and reducing repair costs. Fortunately, there are several clear warning signs that indicate when it is time to call in the professionals.

You should not wait to request our leaking pipe services in Rockwall, TX if you notice any of the following issues:

Unusually high water bills. A sudden and unexplained rise in your water bill is often the first sign of a hidden leak. Compare your bills over a few months: If you notice a significant increase without a corresponding rise in water use, there could be a leak somewhere in your home.
Mold and mildew presence. Excess moisture from a hidden leak creates a perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. If you notice any unusual musty odors or visible mold growth, especially in areas not usually prone to dampness, you should not wait to investigate for leaks.
Water stains or damaged paint. Discoloration on ceilings, walls, or floors is a telltale sign of water leakage. If you observe peeling paint, warping, or stains that grow over time, you are likely dealing with moisture problems from a leak.
Sound of running water. If you still hear the sound of water running or dripping after turning off all faucets, a hidden leak is likely somewhere nearby.
Cracks in foundation. Over time, a continuous leak can cause erosion around the foundation of your home, leading to cracks. Although small cracks might seem like no big deal, they can suggest a more serious water leakage issue.
Sudden drop in water pressure. A noticeable decrease in water pressure when using showers, faucets, or other water outlets can indicate a leak somewhere in your plumbing system.

What to Do If a Pipe Bursts

A burst pipe is a plumbing emergency that requires immediate action, but do not panic. There are several things you can do to minimize water damage and protect your property.

Make every effort to follow these steps if a pipe in your home bursts:

Turn off the water supply. The first and most important action you need to take is stopping the flow of water. Locate the main water shut-off valve in your home and turn it off. This valve is typically found near your water meter or outside near the property line. Shutting off the water supply will prevent further flooding and damage.
Drain the faucets. After shutting off the main water supply, open all the cold water taps to drain the remaining water from the pipes. This helps to relieve any pent-up pressure inside the pipes, reducing the risk of additional leaks or bursts. Don't forget to flush toilets multiple times to clear the lines.
Switch off the electricity. If water from the burst pipe is near any electrical outlets or your fuse box, turn off the electricity at the main breaker to prevent electrocution or electrical fires. Only attempt to turn off the electricity if you can reach the breaker safely without stepping in water.
Document the damage. Before cleaning up, take photos or videos of the affected area and any damage caused by the burst pipe. This documentation will be valuable when filing an insurance claim and can help ensure you are adequately compensated for the damage and repairs.
Start the cleanup process. Begin cleaning up the water as soon as possible to prevent mold, mildew, and further water damage. Use towels, mops, and buckets to remove standing water, and consider using fans and dehumidifiers to help dry out the area.
Contact Sunrise Plumbing. After addressing the immediate aftermath, reach out to our team for emergency repairs. Remember, we are available 24/7, so we can quickly dispatch a plumber to address the burst pipe. We will assess the damage, perform necessary repairs, and check for any additional issues in your plumbing system that might need attention.
Prevent future bursts: Once repairs are complete, we can review ways to prevent future bursts, such as insulating pipes, regularly checking for corrosion or wear, and maintaining appropriate water pressure in your plumbing system.

Frequently Asked Questions about Leaking Pipes

How Can I Prevent Plumbing Leaks?

Regular plumbing maintenance can help prevent leaks. Consider scheduling periodic inspections by one of our professional plumbers from Sunrise Plumbing to check for any potential issues, such as corroded pipes, loose fittings, or worn-out seals. Additionally, maintaining proper water pressure and insulating exposed pipes in colder climates can reduce the risk of leaks due to excessive pressure or freezing.

Can I Fix a Leaky Pipe Myself?

When dealing with leaky pipes, it’s advisable to seek the expertise of a professional plumber. Our team at Sunrise Plumbing has the knowledge, experience, and specialized tools to identify the source of the leak, assess the extent of the damage, and perform the necessary repairs effectively. Hiring our professionals can help ensure that the repair is done correctly, preventing further issues down the line.

What Can I Do to Limit Leak Damage Before a Plumber Arrives?

While waiting for one of our plumbers to arrive, you can often apply temporary fixes to minimize the damage. For small leaks, you can use plumber’s tape or a pipe clamp as a temporary solution. However, keep in mind that these fixes are temporary and should not replace proper repairs by a professional.
