Important Reasons Not to Ignore Water Leaks
1. Costs
Often the first sign of a leak is a larger-than-usual water bill. An undetected and untreated leak can quickly produce hundreds of dollars in water bills and costly water damage repairs and renovations.
2. Structural Damage
Damage to home foundations, floors, ceilings, and exterior building structures may require time-consuming repairs and renovations. During this time, families may need to vacate their property for safety reasons.
3. Additional Leaks
Leaks from roofs can affect interior and exterior building structures. Plumbing leaks can increase pressure throughout the system. Even a small leak can result in more leaks from high pressure in other areas.
4. Mold Growth
One of the most devastating consequences of water leaks is the growth of toxic mold and fungus in your living areas. Mold is often concealed behind walls, appliances, and flooring. Numerous health risks are associated with mold exposure.
