Why Leaks Happen: How to Prevent Plumbing Problems

Leaks in plumbing systems can stem from various factors, including:

Age and Corrosion: Over time, pipes and fixtures wear down, leading to leaks. Regular inspections can identify potential problems early.

High Water Pressure: Excessive pressure can damage pipes and fixtures. Installing a pressure regulator can extend the life of your plumbing system.

Clogged Lines: Blockages increase pressure in the system, leading to leaks. Avoid flushing non-degradable items and regularly clean your drains.

Improper Installation: Ensure installations are done by a professional to avoid future leaks.

Preventative maintenance, like routine inspections and addressing small issues promptly, can prevent leaks and extend the lifespan of your plumbing system.
