Causes of Water Pipe Repair

A plumbing leak repair is typically needed when there is significant damage to your water pipes that leads to poor performance and leaky water throughout your home. Four common causes of water pipe damage include corrosion of the pipes, high pressure, earthquakes or ground movement, and frozen pipes.

Corrosion

No piping material is completely immune to wear and tear over time, and this degradation can vary in cause depending on the material. For example, copper pipes can corrode due to a buildup of mineral deposits from your water, and soil that is overly acidic can eat away at your pipes gradually over time.

High Pressure

Water lines are designed to withstand a certain threshold of water pressure daily. However, if the pressure in the pipes is too high it can put extra strain on joints and connectors, leading to eventual cracks and other damage that cause water to leak out.

Earthquake/Ground Movement

Plumbing pipes are not designed with flexibility in mind, and they are typically quite rigid. Because of this, ground movements such as earthquakes or nearby construction can cause pipes to snap or bell, leading to water leaks and poor flow.

Freezing Pipes

Temperatures during Phoenix winter nights can sometimes drop below freezing for extended periods. These low temperatures can cause the water in your pipes to partially or completely freeze, expanding and potentially causing a burst pipe. This can lead to serious water damage in your home in the middle of the night, but it can be prevented by insulating your outdoor water pipes when you know temperatures are going to drop overnight.

Signs You Need Pipe Repair

Pipe repairs may not seem that urgent if there is no water pooling in your home, but minor repairs can help you save money in the long run on utility expenses and major plumbing issues if the minor repairs are not addressed.

Some warning signs that you may need professional pipe repair help include the following:

Outdated Pipes

A fairly common sign you need new pipes is if your pipes are outdated or made out of outdated materials. These materials that are no longer used can include clay, cast iron, and polybutylene. If your water pipes are made out of any of these materials, it is strongly recommended to schedule a pipe repair service to get them replaced with a more durable and modern material.

Low Water Pressure

If you are beginning to notice that the water pressure in your home is lower than it should be, it may be a sign of a plumbing issue. Check to see if the water coming from your shower head is not very strong or if your faucets are running slow, as these can be signs of low water pressure.

Corrosion

While it can be tough to check for corrosion on the pipes inside of your walls, you probably have segments of your plumbing visible in your basement or backyard. Be sure to give them a visual inspection to check for any rust or other degradation that needs to be professionally repaired.

Noises

You should not be able to hear any noises coming from your pipes other than the occasional rush of water when someone turns on the faucet or flushes a toilet. If you hear sudden loud noises from your pipes such as pops or gurgling water, it may be a sign that something is wrong with your plumbing.

Damp Walls and Floors

One of the most obvious signs of plumbing issues is the infamous dilemma of water ending up where it is not meant to be. Water seeping into your walls and floors is a major red flag that there is a leak coming from somewhere within your plumbing system, and it is important to get the issue addressed as quickly as possible to prevent further water damage to your home.

Rusty Spots

Another sign to look out for is the sudden appearance of rusty spots throughout your home. This could indicate hidden water leaks or other issues with your plumbing system.

Brown Water

Finding brown water coming out of your faucets can be alarming, and there are many reasons why this could be happening. If you notice a brown tint to your water, contact Day & Night to schedule a pipe repair service and get to the bottom of the issue.
