Those house owners who don’t take plumbing issues seriously, have to face serious losses as the structure of their house might be destroyed due to the plumbing issues. Almost every house has serious plumbing issues sooner or later because of various reasons.
If you are a clever house owner, you will never take the plumbing leaks
lighter and will act immediately to fix a plumbing leak. Here we will discuss a
few plumbing issues that can destroy the structure of your lovely home.
Underground Plumbing Leaks
Underground plumbing leaks are the most dangerous leaks as they are
difficult to detect. Normally you can’t detect a water leak or a plumbing leak
from underground pipes unless the water shows you a clear sign after it makes a
certain amount of damage.
For example, when you see a wet spot on the wall, it is a sign of a plumbing
leak in the pipe behind that wall. But it will not be a fresh leak. It might
have been a 3 to 4 days old leak because some water could be absorbed by the
bricks and the cement and the water that can’t be absorbed will be visible now
as a wet spot.
You can detect such kind of plumbing leaks during the annual buildings
inspection or alternatively you can use a smart water leak detector that
can immediately detect a leak and informs you about it.
It can be dangerous for the walls, wall paint and if there is any wooden
work on the walls, then your decoration will be ruined due to these hidden
plumbing leaks.
Plumbing Leaks in Pool
Pool leaks are also something like underground plumbing leaks. If you don’t
use your pool for a long time you will not realize that your pool is leaking.
When you have a pool leak, and you notice a water level drop in the pool,
you might consider it as the water evaporation due to sunlight and hot weather.
If the pool is near the main construction of your house, then a plumbing leak
in the pool is very dangerous for the foundation of the building.
It can create cracks in the foundation and when water enters into the cracks
of the foundation, the whole structure of the building becomes a security
threat.
Plumbing Leaks in Water Tanks
Professional home inspectors and plumbers always emphasize the maintenance
of water tanks. They understand the importance of a safe and secure water
tank. If there is a leak in the water tank, it could be very dangerous to your
health as there might be fungus, unwanted bacteria, insects, dust, and other
bad particles that can enter into the water and makes it impure.
