Is Your Home Being Damaged by a Leaky Pipe?

Have you been putting off the repair of a leaking pipe in your plumbing? A slow drip under your bathroom sink or condensation collecting on your toilet may not seem like a big issue, but eventually it will become a problem. While a putting drip pan under the sink or wiping down your toilet every day is just a slight nuisance, if left unchecked, you may end up with a plumbing emergency or damage to your home.

In most cases, fixing a leaky pipe is quick and inexpensive. Often you just need some new joint sealer or a washer needs replacement. However, the costs can go through the roof if that small leak or drip turns into a broken or burst pipe. Quickly a drip can turn into a flood of water entering your home. If this happens when you are at work or on vacation, you could come back to serious damage to your home. Some of the issues caused by an unexpected burst pipe include:

  • Water damage to floors and ceilings
  • Mold intrusion inside walls, under flooring and throughout the home
  • Expensive water damage repair and mold removal costs

As they say, hindsight is 20/20. Don’t let a small leak turn into a problem by putting off the needed repair. A quick call to your local plumber can get the issue resolved with very little expense and put your mind at ease. Plumbing problems never go away on their own and will only get worse. It is worth the small investment now to have the leak problem repaired before it causes hundreds, even thousands of dollars of damage to your home.
