Why does a water leak occur? Well, there is no ideal answer to this question as water leak can occur from anywhere and no one knows why it occurs. However, the experts have come up with certain reasons for water leak and if a house owner can fight these reasons, the water leaks in the property can be prevented up to a great extent.

The notable reasons of water leaks are:

1. Age of the pipelines: If it has been years, you shifted to this house and you have never checked your pipelines, it is high time that you get them checked. There might be some leaks present under the ground. The pipes have certain lifespan and once it is over, they need to be changed.

2. Intrusion of roots: do you love tall trees? If yes and you own some in your yard, you need to look after the hidden plumbing system as well. When the roots grow, they intrude in the pipelines and these roots are a major cause of water leaks in the properties.

3. Damaged pipe joints: Did you have a renovation recently in your property? If yes then there are chances of pipeline damages especially, near the joints. When the joints are damaged, water leaks are bound to be there.

4. Clogged pipelines: your kitchen and bathroom sink has a capacity to drain the sticky particles. Once you exceed the limit, it will lead to water clogging. Due to the clogging, the pipes burst resulting in water leaks.

As a prudent house owner, you should check for these signs and try to prevent water leak in your property as much as possible. Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing and schedule water leak detection today.
