Cracked or leaking water pipe:

Leaking pipes can appear due to many reasons. One of the most common reasons is due to foreign objects like tree rots (and other things we tend to throw down the drain). It can also happen because of severe clogs somewhere in the water supply lines.

The age and material of the pipe (cast iron, PVC pipe, metal pipes, cross linked polyethylene) can also influence on the damaged pipe. Cast iron and metal pipes tend to corrode and crack over time and cause small leaks that accumulate and cause bigger problems. That is why these type of pipes have fall into disuse and being replaced by PVC or CPVC pipes. These newer pipe materials can be used for hot and cold water whilst increasing lifespan of the pipe significantly.

Frozen pipes

Even though in Colorado we experience some degree of mild winters, we still suffer from frozen pipes. This is a common pipe repair for Colorado and Westminster homeowners. When we get to freezing temperatures, the water inside the pipes “wants” to turn to ice, but the pipe does not allow that (that is what they should do) and it prevents water from going to that freezing temperature. Outside, the temperature keeps dropping but the pipe insist on keeping the water inside at the same non-freezing temperature.

This is often a lost battle for the pipes. As eventually, when the pipe can no longer contain the water and the water freezes, all of the sudden, leaving your pipes helpless. Here is where the damaged copper pipe burst and creates a leaking pipe issue.

Sweaty pipes

As the cold water flows through the pipes that supply water to your home from outside, it comes into contact with the warm and humid indoor air. This causes the moisture in the warm air to condense on the exterior of the water supply lines, which are cold.

If enough condensation accumulates on the pipes, they can drip and create puddles on the floor. This is a type of leaking pipe that is as inconvenient as the others we have listed. This usually happens on basements and ceilings, places where humidity can thrive to later create unsanitary environments with mold and mild growth.

Reduced Water Pressure

A leaking pipe can cause a reduction in water pressure. If you notice a significant decrease in water pressure, it’s essential to call in a plumber to investigate the issue and prevent further damages.

Mysteriously increasing water bills

Leaking pipes can sometimes go under radar and get, you experience their consequences when you get your utility bills like water and electricity. If you have been experiencing weird spikes in your water bill, you may be dealing with some form of leaky pipes
