Slow Leaks: Why & How to Get Rid Of Them

Damaged pipes, leaking appliances, and improperly connected plumbing fixtures are all potential causes of a slow leak. They may be hard to see, so the harm they do typically goes unreported for quite some time. These slow leaks not only increase the water bill but also decrease the water pressure. Therefore it is important to mitigate the leaks as soon as possible to prevent major damage.

Damages Caused by Slow Leaks

Water leak in the home wall

Slow leaks can do the following damage to houses-

  • Structural Damage: Damage to the home's structure that occurs over time as a result of slow leaks may have an impact not only on the home's appearance but also on its stability. Stains, discoloration, and streaks on the walls or ceiling are the most obvious signs of water damage, and they may be the ones that tip you off to the fact that there is a problem in the first place.
  • Mold Development: As long as conditions are kept dry, the presence of mold spores in the air poses no health risks. To flourish and spread, mold needs water, air, and a living thing to feed on. Oxygen is abundant on Earth, and whether you realize it or not, the majority of the materials used to create your house are made up of organic substances. Any time moisture is allowed into a building, mold is given the ideal conditions to flourish. Mold may spread throughout your house unchecked if a leak is present, posing health risks to residents and structural damage to your property.
