What causes water leaks?

Leaks may result from many different things. Some of the most common causes of leaks include the following:

• Broken seals around the water connectors where your appliances are installed
• Clogged lines that result in overflows or bursts
• Corrosion due to age
• Deteriorated pipe joints
• High water pressure
• Tree root intrusions
• Loose water connectors
• Rapid changes in temperature inside of your pipes
• What are the common signs of a leak?

Some leaks are obvious. These might include pipes under your sink that drip or puddles of water that form near appliances. Others are not as obvious but just as problematic. You might have a toilet leak because of broken tank parts. You can detect these when your toilet runs constantly or if it occasionally flushes on its own. Damp basement floors are another sign that you have a leak. If you have mold that is growing in your house, you may have a water leak. Finally, you may have a water leak if your water bills are growing higher.
What can you do in case of a leak?

If you suspect that you have a large leak, you can perform a simple check by turning off the water at the meter to your house. Check the meter reading when you turn it off and again 15 minutes later. If the meter shows that any water has been used while it was off, you likely have a large leak. This test will not show if you have a small leak, however. You can also check under your sinks and around your appliances to look for drips, dampness, mold and condensation. You should also check your faucets for drips and your toilets for leaks around their bases or water levels in their tanks that are too low or too high. If you determine that you have a leak, it is important for you to call a plumber to get help.
