What to Do About Your Leaking Pipes

There’s nothing fun about a leaky pipe.

There are, however, solutions, and the Portland plumbing experts at [company_name] can provide relief. The first thing to keep in mind is that no matter what the reason for the leak, it demands immediate action. While there’s nothing fun about a leak, a worse leak is even less fun (and more expensive)! It’s imperative to manage leaks as they arise, so they do not cause further damage.

Common Causes of Leaking Pipes

First, let’s take a look at some of the most common causes of leaky pipes.

  • Clogs, blockages, rust, or corrosion
  • Cracked or broken pipes
  • Tree root intrusion
  • Shifted or offset pipes

General wear, tear, and time all contribute to leaking pipes, as does the initial pipe installation. Properly installed pipes by a professionally certified and trained plumber with the right materials go a long way in reducing the likelihood of future pipe failure.

Symptoms of Leaking Pipes

On the upside, leaky pipes are fairly easy to diagnose. Check for the following signs that typically indicate a pipe problem.

  • Low or unpredictable water pressure
  • Rusty, brown, or otherwise discolored water
  • Corroding or rusting pipes
  • Water spots or puddles
  • Dripping sounds
  • Weak ground
  • Increased utility bill
