Small leakage in the piping system of your home is a big problem. Most of us think that there are some small water droplets beneath your kitchen or bathroom sink, and some water flowing out of the shower and bathtub faucet.
But in reality, you can pipe out anywhere in your pipe system at your house. They can happen in your wall, your floor, ceiling or crawl space in the cellar, and yes, under your sink and shower.
When your house leaks, here's what to do to minimize damage:
1. In the case of a burst pipe
During winter extreme cold may freeze your pipe, rupture it and rupture it. When the water in the pipe freezes and melts, when the thawing process is done air is released and pressure accumulates in the pipe.
If you have a burst pipe, you need to do the following:
- Open all faucets in your home so that air and pressure can escape. When your pipe is thawed, you may hear a cry before the water flows again.
- Turn off your main water supply
- Please warm your house and let the pipe thaw. Do not use the blowing torch to heat them, or to place a space heater near them. This has a huge fire hazard and can damage the piping.
2. If the leak is near the faucet
- Turn off your main water supply
- Please look for plumbing companies or call to find the reason for the leak. The water pressure may be too high, the seal or ring may be broken or it may be damaged. It helps to find and solve problems with plumbers.
3. In case of leakage from toilet
There are multiple causes for leaks in the toilet. It is best to ask for assistance from your plumber. Because its solution may be simple or very complicated.
4. There is a leak on the wall or floor
This is the most difficult, as problems may not be visible at first. If water is applied to the walls or floor, it is necessary to contact the experts for inspection.
Time is important in this situation. The faster the modification, the less damage. Do not wait because floods and floods can quickly become very expensive. The few dollars you paid to the professional are nothing compared to what you need to repair your floor and walls.
