What are the causes?
Leaks in water pipes are surely annoying but finding the cause is important. While there are many reasons why water pipes may leak, we’ve rounded up the most probable reasons:-
- Water pressure: A main sign of a good water supply system is high water pressure. While this may be very nice for us, it weakens the water pipe joints over time causing pinholes. Pinholes can eventually lead to big pipe cracks if they’re not taken care of.
- Temperature: Hot water is a necessity no matter which room it is. This change of extreme temperature can weaken the pipe and it may start leaking.
- Corrosion: There are various types of pipes available for water pipes like copper, stainless steel, pvc, ppr,etc. While we don’t have to worry about corrosion in pvc and ppr pipes, it’s a different story with metal pipes. Metal pipes react with the oxygen in the air and minerals in water and corrode. This builds up rust and makes the pipes brittle.
