Leaking Pipes

If you have a leaking pipe then this can often lead to destructive Water damage in your home without your even being aware. What causes leaking pipes? There are actually a number of things. For instance, if your Water is the wrong level of acidity, then this doesn’t allow for the formation of a film on the inside of copper pipes. Ultimately this causes them to become dissolved. Sometimes it can be as simple as rust setting in or a valve or tap not being properly turned off.How do you know if you have leaking pipes if you can’t see the   water damage? One sign might be from your taps – if your water is discolored (brown or yellowish), or if the water pressure seems low, then this might point to a leak.
