WHAT CAUSES YOUR PIPES TO LEAK IN YOUR HOME?
 

When you understand how leaks happen, it can prepare you with an understanding of how to prevent them and be on the lookout for any future leaky pipes.

Some of the most common reasons for leaky pipes include the following:

• Water pressure is too high. If water is shooting out of your faucets and shower heads, it could mean you have extremely high water pressure in your house.
• Natural shifting and settling. Over time, your home will settle or move slightly, especially in an area like Denver that is prone to earthquakes. When this happens, your plumbing can also shift and result in your pipes falling out of alignment or coming loose.
• Freezing and thawing of your pipes. Denver winters can be extremely cold, sometimes causing your pipes to freeze. If they do freeze, then thaw, and then freeze again, this can weaken the pipe itself. Take precautions to avoid freezing pipes by keeping your home at 70 degrees or higher in winter and be sure to insulate the pipes that come from exterior walls.
• Pipe corrosion. Pipes can begin to rust and weaken due to water chemistry, heat, damaging drain cleaners, water pH balance, the material of the pipes, and time. You can usually detect corrosion in the color of your water, which means your pipes may need to be replaced altogether.
