Common Causes of Pipe Damage
Let’s look at some of the reasons for leaky pipes, clogged drains, and toilets:
Leaky Pipes:
- Water and drain pipes naturally wear thin over time due to corrosion, which can also be caused by hard water.
- Extreme hot and cold water causes pipes to shrink and expand, leading to weak and damaged pipes.
- If clogged drains are left untreated, it can lead to mold growth and result in leaky pipes.
- High water pressure may cause a weakened pipe to burst and leak.
Clogged Toilets:
- Flushing foreign objects like toys, feminine hygiene products, tissues, hair, paper, etc., can cause toilets to clog.
- Hard water build-up can leave deposits in the pipes that calcify over time, leading to clogs.
- A clogged S-trap (the S-shaped pipe behind your toilet) can also result in a clogged toilet.
- An aging drain line may also face frequent clogging issues.
- While low-flow toilets may keep water bills and usage down, they also generate low pressure that may not effectively push waste down the drain, thus resulting in clogs.
