Corroded Pipes Can Lead To Water Loss

7/6/2021 (Permalink)

Looks likes it's time to check your home's water fittings for rust.

Staying on top of all plumbing and maintenance work in your home is quite difficult. You’re bound to miss something. The pipes installed in a home are often forgotten about for the longest time until issues begin surfacing.

Corroded pipes are more likely to crack or burst

When the pipes in a home corrode, their strength and durability are greatly affected. These pipes can no longer take on the pressure of water and are more likely to crack or even burst.

Cracked water pipes lead to leaks that can cause more damage in the home, especially if it goes unnoticed. The moisture left behind can promote the growth of mold and mildew, which leads to health effects.

Pipes bursting, on the other hand, leads to structural damage as well as damage to belongings. Flooding and water damage inside the home can take weeks to deal with.
