What are the frequent causes of slab leaks in Ladera Ranch, California?

Quick Temperature Changes

In Ladera Ranch, California this isn’t as much of a problem as it is in colder climates. Even still, the changes in temperature can cause your pipes to expand and contract. Over years, the expansion and contraction will eventually cause joints and connections to wear down. It’s a good idea to have your plumbing system pressure tested regularly so that we can help you find any leaks before they become serious problems. If you would like your plumbing system pressure tested by a professional plumber, give Elder and Young a call now and we’ll get you on the schedule.

Old Pipes

Old Pipes Lead to Leaks - Elder & Young Plumbing Company

Pipes usually last for years, but they won’t last forever. The original pipes might be made from materials that can be weakened by corrosion and when corrosion starts the pipe breaks down until it eventually breaks due to rust or other damage related issues – this is when you start recognizing leaks in your property which could potentially cause major problems if left unchecked for too long! If you have worn out pipes like these at home then we would recommend repiping your home as soon as possible because old corroded piping can lead to serious water leaks!

Pipe Corrosion and Aging Pipes

Pipe Corrosion leads to leaks - Elder & Young Plumbing Company

Corrosion can cause both leaks and clogs in the plumbing system of newer and older homes in Ladera Ranch, so it is important to watch out for any spots or other forms of corrosion on your pipes. If you see this problem develop gradually over time, consider replacing pipes made from cast iron because they will only get worse as time goes by due to their susceptibility.

Worn Pipe Joints

Elder & Young - Water Leak Detection Services

Curved pipe joints link straight sections together to direct water throughout your home, and they are especially vulnerable to pressure from the high-pressure water or extreme temperatures in your plumbing system over time. These connection points are the weakest point of any piping system. As a welds age, it becomes weaker and often leaks within walls because every change in temperature affects them too much as well – so be sure you can identify these worn joint problems early on!

High Water Pressure

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

You know how you feel like the water pressure in a shower is good? Well, that same amount of force also applies to your plumbing system. The pressure from this has been known to cause pipe leaks and joint failures which can lead to more costly repairs! You might want to make sure Ladera Ranch’s city inspector or a local plumber checks on these things before it starts leading into bigger problems down the road.

Foundation Shifting and Settling

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

The pipes in your house in Ladera Ranch are more fragile than you might think. One of the reasons is that they have to move with what’s happening around them, and if there’s a problem elsewhere like erosion or an earthquake then the whole foundation can shift which will make everything go out of whack including anything connected to it such as water pressure changes and color issues. The reason why this happens is because sometimes when we’re asleep at night our houses start moving just enough for all these small cracks inside those pipes so even though everything looks fine on the outside things aren’t okay internally meaning now not only do we need help from people who know how fix problems but also companies that deal specifically with pipe repair here in town!

What are the common symptoms of slab leaks in Ladera Ranch, California?

Low Water Pressure

If you’ve noticed a decrease in water pressure that doesn’t seem normal, or you simply have low water pressure, this may be an indication of a water leak either with the water main or the pipes in your home. The severity of the leak may vary from a slight leak to a rupture. If your water pressure seems low and you suspect a leak, it’s a good time to call a professional plumber who has the proper leak detection equipment who can locate a leak and solve your plumbing problems quick.

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.

Sudden Cracks in the Foundation, Low Spots in Pavement and Potholes

When water seeps into the foundation of your house, that’s when things get really serious! Not only will we have to worry about cracks in our walls and ceilings but also structural components like the beams supporting floors above us. This is where leaking water can become dangerous: not just surface level damage but now actual structural problems as well! You never want an issue this big sitting around without being addressed. If you notice cracks in the foundation, contact a plumber right away so that they can inspect the property for leaks using the latest leak detection equipment.

Mold and Mildew

Mold and mildew love damp and wet areas, especially when there’s not a lot of light or air movement. A lot of leaks happen behind a wall, under the floor or in the ceiling where they go unnoticed for quite a long time. And these places are the perfect breeding ground for mold and mildew. If you notice mold or mildew growing on a non-shower wall in your house, this could be a telltale sign of a water leak. Turn off your water and call a plumber immediately to schedule a leak detection service.

The Water Meter Runs When Nothing is Turned On

One of the easiest things a homeowner can do to understand if they have a water leak or not is to use the water meter as a measuring device. If all of your appliances and fixtures are turned off, including your water heater, and your water meter continues to run, it’s a tell tale sign that you have a leak. This is also the most important time to call a plumber and schedule a service call so that the plumber can perform a leak detection service and find the source of the leak.
