The Hard Truth About a Faulty Plumbing

  • Plumbing problems come in many forms. From a simple leaky tap to a faulty sewer line, plumbing can either be easy to fix or require a significant amount of money and time. When it comes to the worst types of plumbing problems, you need the best experts you can get, but why? While some plumbing problems can be fixed with just a little ingenuity and DIY steps when it is at its worst, it is a different story; You should never try giving it a shot. Today, we will cover the most critical types of plumbing problems and why you need an expert’s hands – especially the one that requires Revolution Pipe Relining’s expertise.

What are the worst types of plumbing problems?

  • Pipe Leaks
  •  
  • What makes pipe leaks dangerous is the fact that they can go undetected for long. Pipes are built into your home. Hence, you need a set of very watchful eyes to see the warnings of pipe leakage; There are many signs that leakage is occurring in your plumbing, but the most visible are stains on your foundational structure, your walls and ceilings. These stains form whenever the water leaking from the pipes continuously whack a specific area of your home, which oftentimes tends to be the wall or the ceiling. 
  •  
  • Low water pressure and higher water bills are also some common signs of leakage. While these things can occur because of human interference, if you think something strange might be going on, contact the expert right away.
  •  
  • Pipe Leaks Hard Truth: Pipe leaks can turn into something much more dangerous if left to go on. You can experience unexpected flooding before you can do anything about it, and this type of damage has the potential to become an irreversible one. From water damage to flooding, pipe leak is a serious matter that you should give immediate attention to. The problem is not only costly when it comes to possible pipe replacement but as well as in restoring other damages in your home’s structure. 
  •  
  • Water loss
  •  
  • If you have ever switched on your shower or taps and no water is running through, you are likely dealing with a bad shower or tap that you can resolve yourself with the right tools and knowledge. Easy as it may sound to some, but water loss can imply greater trouble than just no water at all. The most common reason you might experience water loss is a broken water main.
  •  
  • One way to verify is by checking with your neighbours. If they are not experiencing the same, then there is a good chance that you are in bad luck for having water loss, rather than just something less serious like low water pressure.
  •  
  • Water Loss Hard Truth: Without water, you can never get a bath or use the shower to your heart’s content. Let alone the other home chores that you need to do that requires using water. Your toilet will stink, and your sink will be overloaded with unwashed dishes. If water is used in commercial spaces like restaurants, you would be losing profit for a day because of this problem. Not to mention the nasty cleaning you would have to do in the toilet when all the customers leave. 
  •  
  • Slab Leaks
  •  
  • Unfortunately, some leaks also occur where they are a wee bit challenging to detect. When a pipe beneath a home’s slab leaks, you may not figure out you have a problem for a long time. The broken pipe gives way for the water to seep into the ground and your home’s foundation. On top of the water damage, the leak can also seriously impair the concrete and wear away the soil around it. Over time, it will cause the foundation to weaken and shift, cracking your walls and floors. In severe cases, slab leaks can even cause portions of the house to collapse.
  •  
  • To detect a slab leak problem, listen to the water flow whenever there are no taps turned on. It is a clear sign that something is wrong. Other warning signs are warm and warped spots on the floor, cracks on the wall or ceiling, moist carpets and warped hardwood. If you cannot pinpoint a leak yourself, it may be worth investing in specialized equipment to detect a leak. Professional plumbers will usually use special sound equipment to locate the exact location of a leak.
  •  
  • Slab Leaks Hard Truth: Slab leaks are notorious for their difficulty to detect. Hence, this type of problem requires professionals to resolve. These leaks are usually caused by sewer water or cracked pipelines but, regardless of where the source comes from, it is a problem that you should not take lightly. Another important thing to note about this problem is to never attempt to solve it on your own because we can assure you that you will only make the problem even worse. 
  •  
  • For a normal person, fixing a slab leak is messy, costly and often a dangerous endeavour; It is highly suggested that you seek out help from the pipe experts as numerous complications can immediately arise during the repair that average DIYers aren’t equipped to handle. Besides, if you disregard it, the water could creep up into your house and do more damage in addition to the structural damages it has already caused. 
  •  
  • Blocked/Damaged Sewer Line
  •  
  • It is no surprise how disgusting a sewage line can be. Imagine all the nasty stuff inside that sewage line entering your homes. It is a real threat that can happen to your home if you fail to notice the signs soon enough. The problem arises whenever sewer lines are clogged up and sewage ends up flowing back into your home. Not only does this problem cost thousands of dollars, but it is also something that can be avoided if you spot the warning signs earlier.
  •  
  • Look for signs such as sewages around your home, foul smell and a faulty toilet. If your toilet is having difficulty flushing, it only means that you have a bad toilet or something is hindering the toilet flow. If it is the latter, likely you are dealing with sewage. Like slab leaks, never attempt to solve this problem on your own. Contact the sewer line professionals at Revolution Pipe Relining right away.
