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.
