Why You Should Repair Plumbing Leaks Immediately

A plumbing repair is never fun and can end up being costly, but it’s important to make sure all plumbing leaks are repaired right away. Some homeowners in Raleigh might think, “Oh, it’s just a minor water spot, it’s no big deal.” But truthfully water damage that is visual is generally just the tip of the iceberg.  

Wall Damage

The lines for your plumbing system are installed behind your walls so any leaks, or worse, a total pipe burst, can moisten the drywall or destroy it completely. If you see any water damage or feel there’s a leak, call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning right away to evaluate the situation and we can complete your plumbing repair to avoid any additional damage.  

Fixture Damage

Although you may regard plumbing issues as being only in your drains and pipes, leaks and water quality problems may actually damage your fixtures, including faucets and showerheads. A rotted gasket could become lodged in the plumbing pipes or lower your water pressure. If not resolved quickly and correctly, you could end up needing to invest in a new fixture, which could cost between $150 and $550 or more. 

Flooring Damage

Similar to the walls, a plumbing issue can also cause damage to your floors. Gravity forces water to roll downhill which can result in leaks under your floors. Misshapen and discolored floorboards and loose tiles are signs that you may require a plumbing repair. The earlier you call an expert plumber, the better possibility you have of not having to fix all the flooring, so call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning as soon as you see any signs of damage. 

Mold Issues

In certain situations, moisture in the walls and floors can lead to mold growth, so if you see any signs that you could need plumbing repair, call as soon as possible because you may require more than a plumbing expert – you may also necessitate the service of a mold remediation company to remove mold and segments of your wall or floors. Mold can cause serious health issues so don’t delay calling an expert when you have a moisture issue.  

Cost of Wasting Water

Besides the damage leaks can cause in your home, it will also end up increasing your water bill. Leaks are precisely what they sound like – leaking water – so they increase your water usage and may earn you a large bill. If your water bill is costing more than usual, be sure to call your Raleigh Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning in case you require a plumbing repair. 

Don’t fail to address leaks expecting they will vanish; they don’t fix themselves. Even something that seems like a little plumbing repair issue can turn into a major problem if not resolved right away. Call Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning today for emergency plumbing repair or annual plumbing maintenance.
