The Local Pipe Leak Problem
Our plumbers have a special familiarity with leak repairs because pinhole leaks in copper pipes are alarmingly common in the Memphis, TN area. During the 1970s and ‘80s, a poor-quality batch of copper pipes was delivered to Collierville and used in the construction of numerous homes. These copper pipes were made from a thinner material with acid-based or aggressive fluxes. Copper is corrosion-resistant, not corrosion-proof, and these low-quality pipes are susceptible to developing pinhole leaks. Although these leaks are tiny, they accumulate over time and can be destructive to building material.
If your house was built in the ‘70s or ‘80s, it may have these bad copper pipes in it. Upgrading to the current grade of copper piping can help solve leaking problems in your house. Our plumbers can see that your leaking copper pipes are replaced with the best material. Not only is this a way to fix a leak, it’s a way to prevent numerous future leaks.
The Problem With Slab Leaks
A slab leak refers to a leak in a pipe down in the concrete foundation slab of a home. This kind of water leak is one of the most difficult to repair since it requires accessing pipes buried in hardscape. We recommend you keep a watch for the early warning signs of slab leaks so you can get in touch with us to repair them. Some signs to look for:
- Cracks in the concrete floor of the basement
- The sound of running water where there shouldn’t be any
- Odd behavior from the water heater (the majority of slab leaks are in the hot water lines)
- Rise in water usage that you cannot account for
- Hot spots along the flooring
- The development of mold and mildew in the basement
