Worn Pipe Joints

The water in your home in Seal Beach 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!!

Old Pipes

Pipes can last for years, but they won’t last forever. The original pipes may be made from metals that can be weakened by corrosion and when corrosion starts the pipe weakens 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 older pipes like these at home then we would recommend repiping your home as soon as possible because old corroded pipes can lead to serious water damage!

Quick Temperature Changes

In Seal Beach, 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.

Tree Root Intrusion

Plumbing leaks happen outside the home sometimes. Tree roots can cause moisture to seep out which may lead to wet patches or sinkholes in your yard, a sudden drop in water pressure, and trees growing near you house!

Foundation Shifting and Settling

Your plumbing system is more fragile than you might think. One of the reasons for this is that it needs to be flexible enough in order to react with what’s happening around it, and if there are any other problems like erosion or an earthquake then your foundation may shift which will cause everything else connected to it such as water pressure changes and color issues.

High Water Pressure

Most people don’t think about water pressure. We all like the fell of a lot of pressure in the shower, however this pressure is also constantly pressing against the interior walls of the pipes in your plumbing system. This pressure is also causing pressure on the plumbing joints. As mentioned earlier, the joints are one of the most common causes of these leaks. If you hear your plumbing when you flush your toilet, or when you turn your water on or off, you may need to have your water pressure checked and regulated.
