Don’t ignored Water leaks, Call immediately Plumbing Services

As you know that leaks from pipes, plumbing fixtures and fittings are a significant source of water waste for many households because these household leaks can waste more than 1 trillion gallons of water annually nationwide, so each year we hunt down the drips during Fix a Leak Week. A leaking water heater can indicate any of several problems, ranging from loose valves to a corroded water tank. In fact, water pooling around your heater does not always indicate a leak and it can be the result of condensation. Here some leaks are obvious, such as dripping faucets and leaking water heaters. Unfortunately, many leaks go undetected for years because the source of the leak is not visible. These leaks cause major damage when water seeps into the subfloor where flooring meets the tub or shower. Before long the tiles begin to loosen. Even worse, the plywood subfloor delaminates and rots, requiring a huge, expensive tefarout and replacement project.

As you see mostly homeowners can often make temporary repairs to keep water pipes in working order until permanent repairs can be made. A temporary pipe leak repair allows toilets, sinks and other plumbing fixtures to remain in use. Leaky pipes not only be inconvenient and upsetting because of the water damage that your home or office and your belongings can sustain, it can be dangerous as well. A leaky pipe that spreads water on or near wiring can be a fire hazard, which could threaten the safety of your family or your employees/colleagues.

How to find Leaks in your Home:-

As you know toilets can account for up to 30 percent of your water use, so you should check to ensure they’re running properly. To test for leaks, add a few drops of food coloring to your toilet tank and wait 10 minutes. If the color shows up in your bowl, then you have a leak allowing water to flow from the tank to your drain without ever flushing the bowl.

Another way is faucet leaks are a common occurrence and usually simple to repair. The repairs necessary to stop the leak depends on the type of faucet, and there are four basic types found in most homes:  compression valve, ball types, cartridge types, and ceramic discs.  Each type of faucet has unique methods of repair. If you are accustomed to using tools and making minor home repairs you should be able to repair minor faucet leaks.

How to fix Leaking Problems:-

• Seal your leaking frame by running a small bead of caulk around the inside of the frame. Force the caulk into any gaps between the frame and the shower surround. Quickly wipe away all the excess caulk. When the caulk dries, test for leaks again.
  
  
• Gaps low on a foundation wall matter if you’re trying to fix a wet basement, but only those above the outside soil level let air in. Seal those with the same materials you’d use in an attic: caulk for gaps up to 1/4-inch wide and spray foam for wider ones.
  
  
• If you have a shower curtain rather than a door, make sure you close it completely when you shower, or add a splash guard.
