Water leaks can be small but expensive

8/15/2019 (Permalink)

When your faucet suddenly breaks and water gushes all over the bathroom, you call the plumber to get the damage fixed. But, when you’re dealing with small drips under your sink, you wait another day or even weeks to repair the leak.

While it might not seem so bad in the beginning, these small problems can become too big for you to handle. When you realize it, you’re dealing with a major headache from all the damage and expenses that one simple leak has caused.

Monthly Water Expenses Increase

That dripping sink will affect your water bill. Drips from a leaky faucet or sink unchecked can add up to a lot of money on your monthly water bill.

A Huge Amount of Water Goes to Waste

Instead of saving resources for extremely dry seasons, you’re letting all the water go to waste with a small leak in your bathroom or kitchen fixtures. For every drop of water from a leaky faucet or sink, you’re wasting gallons of water per day and when you multiply that by 30 days in a month, the number can get staggering.

Extensive Damage in Your Home

If you think that small leak will stay small, think again. The damage from the leak can extend to other parts of your home. Drips under your sink may cause the thin metal drains to rust over time or weaken the cabinet or floor. This will leave you with unnecessary and expenses repairs later on.
