Why do slab leaks happen in North Tustin, California?
Pipe Corrosion and Aging Pipes
Time is your enemy when it comes to plumbing problems. If you see rust and corrosion on the pipes in your home, don’t wait around- call a professional plumber right away! What’s more, if there are any spots or other signs of damage that may be caused by corroding metal, then this will only get worse over time and become even harder for anyone else to fix later down the line. So if you notice these kinds of issues happening at all, consider replacing any problematic piping materials with something new like PVC as soon as possible because they won’t cause long term trouble either way.
Old Pipes
Pipes usually last a while, but they won’t last forever. The original pipes can be made from materials that can be damaged by 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 seeing 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 damage!
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 North Tustin 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!
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!
Foundation Shifting and Settling
One of the most important factors that go into determining someone’s home is their piping system, and it needs to be checked regularly for any potential problems. One reason why pipes in your house are more fragile than you might think is because they have to move with what’s happening around them- so if there has been an earthquake or natural disaster nearby then this will affect every aspect including water pressure changes which can cause plumbing issues like color changes.
Tree Root Intrusion
Rest assured that with the help of an expert plumber from Elder & Young, we’ll use our leak detection equipment to find and fix your plumbing problems quickly.
What are the common signs of slab leaks in North Tustin, California?
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.
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.
Wet Spots Next to Walls
Water flows downhill. If you have a wet spot next to a wall that is next to a bathroom, it may be a sign of a leak in the bathroom or within the wall between the two rooms. However, if there is no bathroom next to a wet spot next to a wall, it’s likely that the water the result of a water leak that is coming from above and running down the wall and pooling at the floor. In these situations, it’s important to contact a plumber immediately to mitigate the damages that are being done. These situations if not taken care of early can lead to mold and other damage. A professional plumber will use the latest electronic leak detection equipment to detect the location of the leak so that it can be fixed quickly without tearing down walls or the ceiling to find it and fix it.
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.
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.
