Pipe Leaks Can Have Both Obvious and Hidden Dangers
A leaky pipe is more than inconvenient – it can result in serious damage. Some of the potential dangers of water leaks include:
- Mold and mildew. Both mold and mildew grow fast in moist places, which makes leaks dangerous. This is an especially serious risk if anyone in the household has respiratory issues.
- Huge utility bills. You might be surprised by just how much a pipe leak can increase a water bill. We suggest you do not find out but instead have your leaks taken care of right away.
- Structural damage is possible. There are few materials used to make a property that will not respond badly when exposed to prolonged water exposure. You could end up with peeling paint, rotten wood, corroded metal, and other issues.
- Pests can have a field day. Many pests are attracted to moist places because the moisture can soften the materials they eat and/or burrow into.
If you do not want to deal with any of the above dangers, we recommend you contact Preferred Plumbing and Rooter Service at (877) 298-8105 for help.
