Water Leaks and Their
Causes
Basic Information
The water supply system or a wastewater system in a house
or other building may have a leak in many locations, causing dripping or spill of water. We can fix these for
you.
Causes of Leaks
There are lots of causes of leaks such as pipes, tubing,
valves, fittings, or other components which are often not properly joined or welded together. Leaks can be
caused by damage; for example, punctures by nails or pipe or seal breaks. Often leaks are the result of
deterioration of materials from wear and tear, or by rusting or by corrosion. Wearing out of tap washers
causes water to leak from taps.

DIY Websites
We have included some links to various
websites that give quite useful information on plumbing systems and repairs. Remember though that it's far
easier and cheaper in the long run to call in an experienced professional plumber than try to attempt repairs
yourself. Remember that new gas installations or repairs to any gas appliances, gas fixtures and other
gas fittings MUST ALWAYS, BY UK LAW, be
carried out by a registered GasSafe gas fitter such as ourselves. Thank
you.
