Quick Temperature Changes

The pipes in your home in Laguna Niguel 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!

Foundation Shifting and Settling

The pipes in your house in Laguna Niguel 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.One reason why this may happen is because many times when people hear “foundation” they automatically assume buildings – but really our home foundations could be just about anywhere: under cement slabs, below backyards where landscaping takes place; even within basements themselves! So whatever happens above ground level has potential consequences for underground systems too.

Tree Root Intrusion

Most of the time, water leaks originate outside your home. For example, tree roots from near trees could be intruding on pipes and seeping out moisture in wet patches into your yard – which means you need an expert plumber to find a leak quickly with their detection equipment. Trees can cause problems for plumbing systems due to root intrusion!

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 Laguna Niguel. 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.

Worn Pipe Joints

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!

Old Pipes

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