Many Central Florida and Atlanta residents have learned the hard way, ignoring water leaks can end up costing thousands of dollars in repairs.
Many homeowners are left asking why their water pipes started leaking and end up calling their insurance adjuster for help.
Why water pipes leak?
Over time pipes age and the joints connecting pipes are weakened and eventually give way under high water pressure.
Pipes corrode over time from chemicals in the water, mineral deposits and acidity in the soil, creating pinhole leaks.
Tree roots are a big problem in Florida and Georgia, the roots grow searching for water where they can find it. Unfortunately, many times it is within pipes, breaking them and eventually blocking them.
If there is a sudden surge of water or the water pressure is too high, the pipes may give way to burst at the joints.
The extreme weather changes can wreak havoc on pipes. The intense heat and cool nights expand pipes and create leaks.
The damage can also be man made, when contractors, home owners or water crews dig without knowing where the pipes are located, causing pipes to crack and leak.
Damaged pipes can be difficult to locate because they are buried underground, run under concrete slabs, under floors and behind walls.
