Plumbing leaks can cost your home or business a lot of money. 

The longer a plumbing leak goes on without being repaired the more water you are going to be paying for and not even getting the chance to use. Many people look at that slow leak in their laundry room tub or bathroom sink and they think, "well it's only a drip and it's going right down the drain anyway". That is precisely the problem that little drip running right down your drain is like watching money go down the drain. 

Drips Cost Dough

There can be many reasons that a leak forms in your plumbing system. From rusting or decaying joints to loose fittings. It really doesn't matter what caused the leak in the first place the fact that you have not called a local plumber is the worrisome part. If you hear that drip drip drip of water hitting the floor or sink bottom it is time to call in a professional plumber. The cost for a local plumber can be be offset by the savings on your water bill. And that as we will si is probably not chump change.

A number of factors can work alone or in combination to affect the rate of corrosion in any plumbing piping system. Depending on a number of factors, even a new piping system can show signs of corrosive wear in as few as two years after installation. The problems are most acute in properties that have been in service 15 years or more, however.

Let's take a look at the most common causes of corrosion of plumbing water systems.

The pH Of The Water 
In copper plumbing systems, if your pH is more than 8, a  film usually forms on the inside of the pipe walls. This film acts as a barrier that slows the affects of corrosion. However, when the pH in the water supply is lower than 8 the copper oxide film (barrier) is dissolved, which leaves no protective barrier and subjecting the pipe to the corrosive action of the water. The ultimate result? Pinhole leaks that can damage walls, flooring and structural components.

Water Velocity
Erosion corrosion occurs at locations where water turbulence develops, usually caused by excessive velocity. This is typically encountered when water makes sudden changes in direction (such as sharp pipe turns and elbows) and through "flow" obstacles such as burrs and excess solder from improperly soldered joints.

Leaky Pipes Fixed Fast

Of course there are many reasons you may develop leaks in your plumbing system these are just a few examples of what can occur. Punctured pipes from construction, Structural damage from storms can all lead to unwanted utility costs as well as carpet and wall damage and more.
