Leaking Pipes in General

Generally speaking, a leaky pipe can be caused by issues either with water pressure, or with a physical defect in the pipe system itself.

A water pressure issue can be diagnosed by simply toggling the various faucets and spigots in your home or business. In the event that the stream is not as strong as it is normally, or if the flow is completely constricted, you may be suffering from a leak.

A physical defect in the pipe is harder to diagnose, especially if you do not have direct access to your plumbing system. In this case, it is recommended that you contact a licensed plumber as soon as possible in order to mitigate the possibility of damage.
