Why You Should Repair Plumbing Leaks Immediately

A plumbing repair is never fun and could end up being costly, but it’s critical to make sure all plumbing leaks are repaired immediately. Some homeowners in Calgary might think, “Oh, it’s just a minor water spot, it’s fine.” But truthfully water damage that is visual is usually just the tip of the iceberg.  

Wall Damage

The lines for your plumbing system run behind your walls so any leaks, or more severe, a complete pipe burst, can moisten the drywall or wreck it completely. If you see any moist spots or think there could be a leak, call A1 Chesney Service Experts as soon as possible to evaluate the situation and we can conduct your plumbing repair to avoid any further damage.  

Fixture Damage

While you may consider plumbing issues as being just in your drains and pipes, leaks and water quality problems may actually ruin your fixtures, including faucets and showerheads. A rotted gasket could become fixed in the plumbing system or lower your water pressure. If not taken care of quickly and correctly, you may end up needing to invest in a new fixture, which can cost between $150 and $500 or more. 

Flooring Damage

Same as the walls, a plumbing complication can also cause harm to your floors. Gravity pulls water to roll downhill which can create leaks under your floors. Buckled and discolored floorboards and loose tiles are signs that you may require a plumbing repair. The sooner you call an expert plumber, the better chance you have of not having to fix all the flooring, so call A1 Chesney Service Experts as soon as you see any signs of damage. 

Mold Issues

Under certain circumstances, moisture in the walls and floors can cause mold growth, so if you see any signs that you may need plumbing repair, call immediately because you may need someone else besides a plumbing expert – you may also need the service of a mold remediation professional to remove mold and parts of your wall or floors. Mold can cause severe health issues so don’t put off dealing with a moisture issue.  

Cost of Wasting Water

Besides the harm leaks can cause in your home, it could also end up increasing your water bill. Leaks are precisely what they sound like – leaking water – so they raise your water usage and may earn you a large bill. If your water bill is more than usual, be sure to call your Calgary A1 Chesney Service Experts in case you require a plumbing repair. 

Don’t disregard leaks thinking they will go away; they don’t resolve themselves. Even something that seems like a small plumbing repair issue can turn into a major problem if not taken care of right away.
