Slab Leak Repair

Causes of Slab Leaks

There are several reasons for a slab leak to occur, the most common though are corrosion and aging. Aside from that, there are other reasons you may be in need of slab leak repairs in Pottstown, PA.

• Corroded Pipes: The longer your pipes are in use, the more likely they are to corrode. Things like soap sediment, dirt, grease, and more ultimately line and coat the interior of pipes, causing them to deteriorate.
• Outside Forces: Earthquakes, soil erosion, and ground shifting can cause pipes to become misaligned. When that happens, leaks can occur causing damage.
• Water Pressure Changes: Changes in water pressure, because of either a clog, frozen pipes, or any other reason, can result in broken and busted pipes.
• Aging: The older the pipes are, the less likely they are going to be able to withstand changes. Older pipes are often corroded and rusted, which is already bad for your health, but can mean they will become damaged more quickly.
