Water Leaks
Water Leaks Repaired in Greenville
Water leaks are the silent money eaters within the water system from either direct loss of water or damage to the home or yard before they are detected in a bill or visual signs.
Consequences of water leaks
Water leaks on pipes in walls, under floors, between floors, in crawl spaces or in the yard can go from small to large issues without any notice. The damage to the walls, ceilings, flooring, yard or structure of homes is imminent resulting in thousands of dollars in additional repairs when not resolved when first detected.
Primary concern of water leaks
An active leaking pipe can not only cost you due to water loss through the meter or damage to the home and yard. When an active leak is in place, contamination is possible from the contaminants in the soil or area of leak. The contaminants can enter the water system through the leak and pose a health of life risk to anyone that baths or drinks the water.
Preventing water leaks
Types of water pipe, condition of the water pipes, location of the water pipes are all factors to consider in leak prevention. Some pipes could be affected by the environment they’re installed in and may require complete replacement with a different type of pipe material to prevent future problems. Local water conditions can contribute to pipe leaks thus installing a water conditioning system may be needed. Aged pipes and deteriorated pipes are very common water leak issues. Visual inspections and/or annual static test performed will aid in catching the small leaks before they develop into devastating leaks.
