Leak Detection in Moody, TX

Common Types of Water Leaks

Understanding the common types of water leaks can help you perform your own inspections, at least on the surface. For deep-diving, you’ll have to invest in sophisticated tools and/or plumbing training – or you can hire a plumber. So, what are some common types of water leaks?

• Pipe Leaks: These occur when there is damage or deterioration in the pipes that supply water to your home. Common causes include corrosion, freezing, or physical damage.
• Faucet Leaks: Leaky faucets are often due to worn-out washers or seals inside the faucet. These can result in a constant drip or slow stream of water.
• Toilet Leak: Toilets can develop leaks at various points, such as the tank, bowl, or wax ring seal. A leaking toilet can waste thousands of gallons per month.
• Kitchen Sink Leak: Sinks can develop leaks in the supply lines, drainpipes, or around the sink's sealant. These leaks can damage cabinets and countertops.
• Basement Leak: Water can enter a building through cracks or gaps in the foundation, especially in basements or crawl spaces. This type of leak can lead to mold growth and structural issues.
• Slab Leak: These occur beneath the concrete foundation or slab of a building. These leaks can be particularly challenging to detect and repair because they are hidden beneath the ground.
