As a plumber in Polokwane I have seen some really bad cases. Water that forms a pool could put a small child’s life in danger with the possibility of drowning. It could also create an electrical hazard. Don’t compromise your health by allowing mold and bacteria to grow in your home unrestrained due to a water leak.

Leak Causes – There could be many possible problems that cause a leak in a pipe. The two main causes are old pipes or faulty installation. Old pipes are found in old homes or properties and the pipes have worn down over the years. The wall of the pipes gets worn down through continuous use and eventually gets so thin that it easily springs a leak because of pressure in the pipes.

Poor installation often comes from inexperienced or careless plumbers. The plumber might not have the knowledge to use the right pipes in specific areas or might be in a rush to get to the next job and neglects to fasten the pipes properly. Loose pipes vibrate and shakes when water flows through it, especially when air gets trapped inside. Trapped air causes an air hammer effect and this causes even extra friction between the pipe and the concrete wall. Concrete has a rough and uneven surface and this wears down the pipe and causes the pipes to thin out at certain areas over a short time and eventually causing a leak.
