High Water Pressure

With the constant pressure from water, it’s no wonder that leaks can occur. When you turn on or off your faucet and hear a sound like air escaping through pipes in your plumbing system, this could be an indication of a leak somewhere in there. If these odd sounds are coming from toilets when they flush or while taking baths – then we may have to replace some worn-out joints inside those fixtures!

Quick Temperature Changes

The pipes in your home in Bay Shores are likely to expand and contract due to temperature changes, which can lead them wear down over time. At Elder and Young Plumbing we offer pressure tests for this reason so you know what potential problems lie ahead before they become serious ones. Give us a call today if you want one of our specialists do an inspection at your convenience!

Old Pipes

Pipes can last a while, but they will not last forever. Older pipes are made from materials that can be prone to corrosion, such as iron. When corrosion occurs, the pipe weakens until eventually it breaks due to rusting or other damage related issues – this is when you start recognizing leaks in your property which could cause major problems if left unchecked for too long! If you have older pipes like these at home in Bay Shores then we would recommend repiping.

Worn Pipe Joints

The water in your home in Bay Shores may not be flowing as smoothly and efficiently as it should. Have you ever wondered why? Curved pipe joints link straight sections together to direct the flow of water throughout your plumbing system, but they are also vulnerable to pressure from high-pressure or extreme temperatures within our piping over time. These connection points can cause leaks if welds become weaker with age due to a constant change in water pressure which causes these joints flexing on themselves more often than not rather then holding strong against any kind of force that comes their way! It’s best for plumbers who have identified problems early before there is an issue at all because solving them will take less effort overall – saving you lots of money in repair bills down the line!!

Tree Root Intrusion

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.

Pipe Corrosion and Aging Pipes

Rust and corrosion can be a real issue for plumbing systems as they age, including both newer and older homes in Bay Shores. Corrosion can cause both leaks and can also lead to clogs. Watch out for spots or other forms of corrosion on your pipes, which may indicate that you need to have them looked at by a professional plumber right away! If the problem appears more severe than it is, consider replacing any pipes with high risk factors- like ones made from cast iron – because over time these will only get worse and require significant repairs later. Corrosion also happens under the home, inside the concrete slabs or in dirt if the pipes covering has broken down. Concrete and dirt will chemically react with the metal causing the pipes to break down. Pipe corrosion is one of the leading causes of a slab leak.
