The Benefits of Fixing Drips and Leaks ASAP
A plumbing leak can waste thousands of gallons annually, increasing utility costs. While running toilets or leaky faucets is a minor inconvenience, failing to address the problem can lead to significant water damage and costly leak repair projects. Since most leaks go undetected until it is too late, Mr. Rooter Plumbing of South Jersey can help you pinpoint the location of a leak and recommend a viable solution. The last thing you want is a severe plumbing leak in your premises, compromising your home’s structural integrity and your household’s safety.
A well-maintained plumbing system protects you from expensive leak repair projects and other related costs that leave a significant dent in your finances. We recommend hiring a professional plumber for regular maintenance to detect minor signs of deterioration before the problem becomes more pronounced. Here are hidden expenses you can avoid by fixing drips and leaks.
The Cost of a Leaky Faucet
According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), an average home in the United States loses at least 10,000 gallons yearly. If you don’t think that’s a lot, imagine water that can wash nearly 300 loads of laundry. A leaky faucet usually seems like a minor problem, but it is draining money, literally. We provide quality leak repair and maintenance to ensure you only pay for the water you use, saving thousands of dollars annually.
The Cost of a Running Toilet
If you hear your toilet running and it is not in use, or the flapper has a problem when you flush, you are due for a plumbing inspection. A constantly running toilet can cause your water bill to skyrocket and severely damage your plumbing in the long run. When you onboard an expert plumber to conduct routine checkups, you can save more money than expected. Leak detection may not be the first option in mind, but it goes a long way in ensuring your utility bill remains at a reasonable range.
Water Main Leaks
Unfortunately, most property owners only realize they have a central water leak once it is too late. Luckily, you don’t have to wait for an unexplainable spike in your utility bills or stagnant water in your yard to correct the problem. If you suspect you have a central water leak, shut off all the water to the house and check the meter. It shouldn’t be spinning unless there’s a leak you need to address, and we have the tools and experience to ensure everything is running at high performance.
Slab Leak
Out of all the potential leaks in your home, this is one of the most difficult to detect. Slab leaks occur under your home and compromise the structural integrity of your home unless they are detected and repaired in time. A professional plumber has the tools to pinpoint leaks anywhere in your home and recommend the ideal solution to mitigate further damage and subsequent costs.
