Clogged Drains

Inconvenient and frustrating, but clogged drains can also damage the inside of your plumbing pipes. Be mindful of the chemical drain cleaners down the drain, they can also cause damage. 

Weak Pipe Joints

Areas where pipes connect together are prone to corrosion, leading to damage and leaks. Listen for any noise, banging or ticking from your pipes. 

Temperature Fluctuations

When the temperature changes pipes expand and contract. Especially drastic changes, such as our cold nights and warm afternoons. It causes pipes to crack and have small leaks. 

High Water Pressure 

Excessive water pressure puts stress on your plumbing pipes. This also causes pinhole leaks. 

Corrosive Water
