What are the common causes of slab leaks in Ontario, California?
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.
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!
High Water Pressure
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
Pipes last decades, but they won’t last forever. The Original pipes are made from materials that are much more likely to corrosion such as iron and over time the pipe weakens and begins breaking down until eventually it breaks entirely due to rusting or other damage related issues – this is when you start seeing leaks in your property which may potentially cause major problems for homes in Ontarioif left unchecked for too long! If you have older pipes like these at home then we would recommend repiping with newer pipes before any serious difficulties arise.
Pipe Corrosion and Aging Pipes
Corrosion can cause both leaks and clogs. It’s important to take care of any corrosion on your pipes, as it 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 high risk factors- like ones made from cast iron – because these will only get worse over time and require significant repairs later if left unattended.
Quick Temperature Changes
It’s important to keep your plumbing system in good working order. As the temperature changes, pipes can expand and contract over time causing joints and connections to wear down. Elder & Young offers pressure testing services so we can help you find any leaks early on before they become a serious problem for you home in Ontario or business- give us a call now!
