Leaks don’t just happen overnight. They are usually the result of underlying issues in your plumbing system or property. Detecting them early is essential to avoid structural damage and high repair costs. Some of the most common reasons include:

• Aging or Worn-Out Pipes – Old plumbing systems in Georgia homes often weaken, leading to cracks and leaks.

• Poor Installation – Faulty or low-quality plumbing work can cause hidden leaks behind walls or under floors.

• High Water Pressure – Excess pressure puts strain on joints and fittings, making them prone to leaks.

• Corrosion & Rust – Metal pipes deteriorate over time, creating weak spots where water escapes.

• Foundation Shifts & Soil Movement – Georgia’s soil shifts can stress underground water lines, resulting in leaks.

• Clogged or Blocked Pipes – Build-up of debris forces water into weak spots, creating unexpected leaks.
