Areas where pipes connect together are prone to corrosion, leading to damage and leaks. Listen for any noise, banging or ticking from your pipes. 

Temperature Fluctuations

When the temperature changes pipes expand and contract. Especially drastic changes, such as our cold nights and warm afternoons. It causes pipes to crack and have small leaks. 

High Water Pressure 

Excessive water pressure puts stress on your plumbing pipes. This also causes pinhole leaks. 

Corrosive Water

Both the age of your pipes and the chemical make-up of your water can both cause your pipes to corrode from the inside out. 

Trees in Your Yard 

Those beautiful trees can wreck havoc on your water lines. Be on the look out for holes or unexplained wet areas in your yard.
