What are the common causes of crawl space leaks?

Pipe Corrosion

Rust and corrosion can be a real issue for plumbing systems as they age. 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.  Pipe corrosion is one of the leading causes of an crawl space leak.

Damaged Pipe Joints and Connectors

Like the other parts of your plumbing system, the connectors and joints break down over time. These connection points are the weakest points of your plumbing system. As the welds age, they become weaker and are often the cause of leaks within your walls. Also, consistent changes in water pressure also cause the joints to flex. If you suspect a leak, please contact us immediately for help.

Excess 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.
