Reasons for a Water Leak

In California, especially in Southern California, residents are subject to major seismic activity. In San Marcos, water flowing through plumbing can cause pipes to vibrate and rub against adjacent pipes as well as the surrounding building materials. This constant friction between pipes can cause them to wear out and connections to loosen. In addition, inferior plumbing materials installed before current building codes can eventually weaken because of high water pressure. Leaks also occur when soil settles beneath a foundation.

Identifying a Leak

There are obvious signs of a water leak. Symptoms such as damp walls, floors, and ceilings, are classic telltale signs of a plumbing leak. In addition, a higher utility bill and the sound of running water even when taps are turned off are also distinct signs of a water leak. You may also find warm or cold spots on the floor, depending upon which water line has sprung a leak. Another potential telltale sign is water pooling in your yard even though there has been no rain. In a single year, your home could be losing as much as 20,000 gallons of water as a result of leaky plumbing.
