What Causes Plumbing Leaks?
There are a lot of different reasons why you may end up with leaky pipes or fixtures.
It may be that you have broken seals. This is most common with a water line to fridge, dishwasher, or other appliances.
Your lines may also be clogged, which causes pressure to build up behind the blockage. As a result, you may end up with pipes and fixtures that crack and leak.
Speaking of pressure, your water pressure may be too high, which causes unnecessary stress on your lines and fixtures.
Other potential causes of leaky plumbing include:
- Tree roots (this also leads to clogged drain cleaning repairs)
- Cracks in your faucet or other fixtures
- Loose connectors
- Shifting ground movement
- Damaged pipe joints
- Frozen pipes
- Incorrect pipe installation
- Corrosion
Whatever it is that’s causing your leaky pipes though, we can help.

How To Tell If You Have Leaky Pipes & Fixtures
The most obvious sign of a leaking pipe aside, you might not always notice when you have a plumbing leak.
Here are some of the signs you might not think to look for:
- Puddles at the bottom of your sinks when you haven’t used them recently
- Unexplained spikes in your water bill
- Faucets that make a squeaking sound when you turn them off
- Water pooling around the base of your faucets
- Moisture buildup on the walls or floor behind which your pipes run
- A musty or mildew smell that wasn’t there before
Some of these might not seem like a huge deal at first. After all, if you have a faucet that leaks a little bit, it just goes right into your sink, right?
But there might be a bigger problem behind the walls of your house, and if left unattended it can cause thousands of dollars in damage.
If you notice you need a leaky faucet repair service, call London Plumbing Solutions right away.

How To Tell If You Have A Leaky Water Heater
Of course, your hot water heater is one of the most important parts of your plumbing system.
And when it starts to leak, it can cause some pretty serious damage.

What To Do If You Have A Burst Pipe Or Flooding Pipe
First of all, don’t panic. This can be scary, but we can stop the flow in most cases.
You’re going to want to get to the main water shut off valve. If you live in a house, it’s probably in your basement near the front foundation wall. It’s usually a few feet away from your main water line.
If you have a crawl space, your shut off valve might be in there.
In any case, it’s a good idea to find where it is before you deal with an actual plumbing emergency. It’s usually a red or orange lever – turning it will shut off all water to your house.
That’s inconvenient, of course, but it’s also going to stop your flooding pipe from causing further damage.
