Many home and business owners don’t realize, that like other parts of their property, their plumbing system and pipes need routine care and maintenance to operate properly. Corrosion, leaks, unpleasant odors, contaminated water, and even insect infestation, can result in costly repairs. Insurance professionals know all too well the consequences of a plumbing system failure.

“The average household’s leaks can account for more than 10,000 gallons of water wasted every year and ten percent of homes have leaks that waste 90 gallons or more per day,” United States Environmental Protection Agency.

“Plumbing supply system failures cost an average of $5,092 per incident after the deductible was paid,” Insurance Institute for Business & Home Safety

Water leaks have become more prevalent over the last decades, mostly due to aging water pipes. Every day wear and tear on our plumbing system definitely takes a toll. Pipes develop small pinhole cracks where you would least expect, behind walls and under concrete slabs.

Tree roots have also caused many property owners a ton of problems. Their roots slowly growing into water and sewer pipes, contaminating the water and causing leaks.

Chemicals in the water also play a big role in the corrosion process. Causing pinhole leaks from the inside out.
