Pipe Repair Houston
Pipe problems are very common for homeowners to deal with, especially those living in older houses. Prior to the 70's one of the most common type of piping was galvanized iron pipes which were coded with zinc. This zinc, over time, presents a problem because it subjects your pipes to corrosion. It is likely to cause damage to appliances used with the plumbing, water with a brown tint, and reduced water pressure. Another type of problem-causing pipe is the copper pipe which is easily subjected to leaks, which, unfortunately, may be very difficult to pinpoint particularly early on in the leakage process. A lot of the same signs apply—water that just isn't quite the right color, reduced water pressure, as well as wet spots in the floor or walls.
There are a lot of repercussions which come along with broken pipes. Broken pipes, if left untended, can lead to further damages that will end up costing you even more money. A broken pipe will also make for a steady drain in your water bills. Aside from plumbing issues there are a lot of consequences which water can reap in your home. Most parts of a house were not meant to be exposed to a repeating flow of water such a leaking or broken pipe would cause. This can lead to bad odors, ruined carpet, warped wood, and if it is in a particularly unfortunate place it may reach possessions which were not made to be wet. The worst part about leaks is that they can even lead to health hazards. A spot in your home that is subject to water without being able to dry will likely be a hot spot for mold. Mold can be dangerous for you and your loved ones to be around and inhale, so no matter how you look at it getting that nasty leak fixed is going to be your best option for many good reasons.
If you are not sure whether you have a leak, there are signs you can look for. If you have decreased water pressure in one area of the house, a strangely high water bill, or notice wet spots or discoloration in your water, be sure to get a plumber to come and evaluate the problem. Not all leaks will be visible and evident, but that doesn't mean they aren't there. Any sign could be a possible indicator. We will use our technology and expertise to examine your home and find the exact location of the leak.
