Water Leaks

10/28/2021 (Permalink)

There are two kinds of of water leak cases that homeowners may run into that can cause them damage to the structure of the home or cost them a pretty penny. Sometimes both! The first is a disastrous situation like a burst pipe, toilet line bursting, appliance hoses breaking, etc. These leaks can cause incredible damage and are often the image of water restoration.

The other case is when, we have a situation where a faucet or other water line is left unattended and left to flood. This is a result of human error that can result in as much damage as an uncontrollable event, such as a flood, storm, or burst pipe. Wasteful water leaks can have results as minor as paying more money in your water bill each month to causing severe damage to your home and paying for water restoration. It is estimated that up to 6 billion dollars and 1 trillion gallons of water are wasted each year due to leaks. If your water bills are significantly higher than usual, you should call a professional to make sure that there are no leaks causing the rise in your utility bill.
