Why You Should Repair Plumbing Leaks Immediately

A plumbing repair is always a pain and can end up being expensive, but it’s important to make sure all plumbing leaks are repaired as soon as possible. Some homeowners in Columbus might think, “Oh, it’s just a minor water spot, it’s no big deal.” But honestly water damage that you notice is usually just the tip of the iceberg.  

Wall Damage

The tubes for your plumbing system live behind your walls so any leaks, or worse, a total pipe burst, can moisten the drywall or destroy it altogether. If you see any moist spots or feel there’s a leak, call Stevenson Service Experts immediately to assess the situation and we can perform your plumbing repair to avoid any more damage.  

Fixture Damage

While you may consider plumbing issues as being just in your drains and pipes, leaks and water quality problems may actually damage your fixtures, including faucets and showerheads. A rotted gasket could become lodged in the plumbing lines or decrease your water pressure. If not resolved quickly and correctly, you may end up needing to invest in a new fixture, which could cost between $150 and $550 or more. 

Flooring Damage

Similar to the walls, a plumbing problem can also cause harm to your floors. Gravity drives water to roll downhill which can create leaks under your floors. Distorted and discolored floorboards and unsecured tiles are indications that you may need a plumbing repair. The sooner you call an expert plumber, the better chance you have of not having to fix all the flooring, so call Stevenson Service Experts as soon as you see any evidence of damage. 

Mold Issues

Under particular circumstances, moisture in the walls and floors may lead to mold growth, so if you see any signs that you could need plumbing repair, call right away because you may not just need a plumbing expert – you may also need the service of a mold remediation business to remove mold and pieces of your wall or floors. Mold can produce serious health issues so don’t delay calling an expert when you have a moisture issue.  

Cost of Wasting Water

On top of the harm leaks can cause in your home, it can also end up costing you more on your water bill. Leaks are precisely what they sound like – leaking water – so they raise your water usage and may earn you a large bill. If your water bill is more than usual, make sure you call your Columbus Stevenson Service Experts in case you are in need of a plumbing repair. 

Don’t fail to address leaks expecting they will go away; they don’t resolve themselves. Even something that seems like a small plumbing repair issue can turn into a major problem if not taken care of right away. Call Stevenson Service Experts today for emergency plumbing repair or routine plumbing maintenance.
