A plumbing repair is never fun and may end up being expensive, but it’s important to make sure all plumbing leaks are repaired immediately. Some homeowners in Hilton Head Island might think, “Oh, it’s just a small water spot, it’s nothing.” But the truth is water damage you can see is usually just the tip of the iceberg.
The pipes for your plumbing system run behind your walls so any leaks, or worse, a total pipe burst, can moisten the drywall or wreck it altogether. If you see any wet spots or suspect a leak, call Epperson Service Experts right away to assess the situation and we can provide your plumbing repair to avoid any further damage.
Although you may think of plumbing issues as being exclusively in your drains and pipes, leaks and water quality issues may actually damage your fixtures, including faucets and showerheads. A decayed gasket could become fixed in the plumbing pipes or reduce your water pressure. If not taken care of quickly and correctly, you may end up needing to replace your fixture, which may cost between $100 and $500 or more.
Just like the walls, a plumbing complication can also cause damage to your floors. Gravity forces water to run downhill which can create leaks under your floors. Warped and discolored floorboards and detached tiles are signs that you may require a plumbing repair. The sooner you call an expert plumber, the better possibility you have of not having to replace all the flooring, so call Epperson Service Experts as soon as you see any signs of damage.
Under certain circumstances, moisture in the walls and floors may lead to mold growth, so if you see any signs that you might need plumbing repair, call immediately because you may not just need a plumbing expert – you may also necessitate the service of a mold remediation company to remove mold and pieces of your wall or floors. Mold can induce serious health issues so don’t put off dealing with a moisture issue.
On top of the damage leaks can cause in your home, it will also end up costing you more on your water bill. Leaks are just what they sound like – leaking water – so they increase your water usage and may rack up a large bill. If your water bill is higher than usual, make sure you call your Hilton Head Island Epperson Service Experts in case you require a plumbing repair.
Don’t ignore leaks hoping they will go away; they don’t fix themselves. Even something that seems like a small plumbing repair issue can turn into a major problem if not taken care of right away. Call Epperson Service Experts today for emergency plumbing repair or annual plumbing maintenance.
