There are times when you know something is wrong, but you put off dealing with it, perhaps hoping it will get better on its own, or perhaps waiting until it is more convenient to take care of it. When it comes to plumbing problems, some of them really can’t be ignored until a later date. Doing so could cause things to get much, much worse. Here are three examples of situations that can happen with your home plumbing that really must be fixed immediately.
As a plumber, we’ve dealt with countless leaks and clogs. Often times, all it takes is a quick repiping or a simple hydro-jetting to fix those problems. But a simple leak in the wrong place can make all the difference.
In this post, we’ll go over three plumbing problems that can cause substantial damage if not taken care of immediately.
Leaky pipes are unfortunately quite common in the winter. The freezing and thawing of water in the pipes causes them to expand, which may force a pipe to burst open. Other factors can contribute to leaky pipes too, of course, such as corrosion or other means of excess pressure on the pipes.
For the most part, a homeowner is not most concerned with how a leak happened. It’s important to know whether corrosion indicates your pipes are in need of replacement, but the first thing you want to know is how to stop the leak and get things under control.
