Check out the potential reasons for water damage in your home.
Water leaks in your home can waste a lot of water, cause property damage, and foster unwanted organic growth, such as mold. Unfortunately, you may not always know that a leak has developed since you can’t see most of the pipework in your home. Check out the potential reasons for water damage in your home.
Damaged and Corroded Pipes
As your plumbing system ages, rust and other corrosion may eat away at the pipes. If you discover discoloration or warping on your pipes, contact a water restoration company to examine the water damage immediately. Also, consider a pipe replacement if your home has an older plumbing system because it can corrode.
Moreover, damaged pipes cause water leaks in your structure. Where your pipes connect often represents the clan’s weakest point. Over time, the pipe joints can deteriorate, making most pipe joints not visible. There is a chance your pipes are under significant pressure. When you turn on the hot water, noisy pipes create a ticking or banging noise.
Excess Water Pressure
Even though high-water pressure may feel pleasant, uneven or excessive pressure can strain your pipes. Most pipes and faucets can only handle a specific level of water pressure, and any extra pressure could trigger water damage in your home.
Clogged Drains
Many clogged drains can cause water damage in your home. However, some clogs can result in overflowing or bursting pipes. For example, obstructions in your drain pans or gutters can lead to severe water damage. This is why keeping your gutters and HVAC system clean is essential to prevent serious clogs.
Sudden Temperature Changes
Sudden extreme temperature changes in your pipes can force them to contract and expand, which might crack the pipes, particularly when freezing temperatures provoke them. So, observe how your plumbing functions to avoid possible water damage to your property.
