Why do slab leaks occur in Balboa Island, California?

Worn Pipe Joints

Elder & Young - Water Leak Detection Services

Curved pipe joints are the weakest points in your plumbing system and often cause leaks. The best thing you can do is have them fixed early on so it’s easier for plumbers to fix them when they arise!

High Water Pressure

High Water Pressure leads to leaks - Elder & Young Plumbing Company

It is important to never underestimate the amount of pressure that your pipes are under. Your plumbing system works nonstop for hours at a time, as water flows through it every day in small doses; but when you’re taking a shower or have all of your faucets on and open wide like an elephant’s trunk, whoa! The continuous flow can wear down joints which may lead to leaks into our homes’ ceilings or walls. This issue could be fixed by investing in new copper piping with better quality plumbers union fittings than those we’ve been using since our grandparents were born–or if you don’t want to go quite so high-tech yet still need some TLC from someone qualified, we’re available to help.

Old Pipes

Old Pipes Lead to Leaks - Elder & Young Plumbing Company

Pipes last a long time, but they won’t last forever. Older pipes are made from materials that are much more prone to corrosion, such as iron. When corrosion occurs the pipe breaks down until eventually it breaks entirely due to rusting or other damage related problems – this is when you start recognizing leaks in your property which could potentially cause water damage if left unchecked for too long! If you have older pipes like these at home in Balboa Island then we would recommend replacing them with newer pipes before serious damages occur!

Tree Root Intrusion

Tree Root Intrusion lead to leaks - Elder & Young Plumbing

If you notice any new wet patches in your yard, a sudden drop in water pressure, or if trees are growing near to the house then there could be an intrusion from those pesky root systems! Rest assured with the help of our expert plumbers at Elder & Young. We’ll use leak detection equipment and fix up that plumbing problem quickly for you.

Foundation Shifting and Settling

Foundation Shifting and Settling leads to leaks - Elder & Young Plumbing Company

Your plumbing system is more fragile than you might think. One of the reasons for this is that it needs to be flexible enough in order to react with what’s happening around it, and if there are any other problems like erosion or an earthquake then your foundation may shift which will cause everything else connected to it such as water pressure changes and color issues.

Quick Temperature Changes

To keep your plumbing system in the best shape possible, it’s important to have regular pressure tests. We can help you find any leaks before they become a problem and save you money on repairs down the line! In California this isn’t as much of a problem as it is in colder climates. Even still, over time pipes will eventually wear out if not maintained properly due to expansion and contraction from temperature changes. Elder & Young Plumbing Services offers yearly inspections for these types of issues for homes in Balboa Island so that we can get them fixed early instead of risking an expensive repair later on – give us call now or fill out our online request form today!

Slab leaks are common in Balboa Island, California. Here are some of the most common signs.

Dark Areas on Concrete, Warped Flooring, Lifting Tiles, Wet Areas on the Floor or Carpet

Leaking water damages homes by seeping into their foundation and weakening structural components like walls, floors, and ceilings over time; this in turn causes cracks throughout your house. Unchecked leaking water is an all-around bad situation for homeowners because it not only affects the appearance of a property but also its safety – if left alone long enough, leakage could lead to demolition needs or expensive repair jobs as well! If you notice any of these issues, contact a plumber for help immediately!

Water in the Street

It is important to know the signs of a leaking main water line. When there’s nowhere for the overflow from your pipe to go, it will often seep up right in front of your home at the street! If you notice bubbling water on the street then they should contact a professional plumber immediately before any more damage can be done.

Puddles Inside or Outside Your Home

If you have water accumulating or puddling inside or outside your home, whether it be in a walkway, or on a floor, it could be an indicator of a water leak in the pipes. While some problems are easier to diagnose and detect, the leaks inside walls and underground are more challenging and special leak detection equipment may be necessary. If you suspect a leak that you can’t see, call us to schedule a service call immediately.

Higher Than Normal Water Bills

A lot of leaks go unnoticed, especially leaks related to outdoor plumbing and the main water line that feeds the house. These lines are often very old and they are some of the most common to break down over the years. If your water usage has not increased, but your bill has, you may have a water leak. This leak could be anywhere on your property so it’s important to have your plumbing system inspected for leaks by a leak detection specialist.

A Musty Odor or Smell

Do you smell mildew or a musty odor?  Over time, a consistent leak will provide the humidity necessary for mold to grow.  You may even notice black splotches on the wall outside which is a sign that mold has grown inside the wall.  If you see this, or you smell a musty odor on a regular basis, it’s time to call a plumbing professional immediately.
