When it comes to owning your Dallas/Ft. Worth home, there are few problems that can escalate faster than that of a water problem. What might seem like a simple leaky faucet could be the beginning of a very costly pipe repair if not tended to with the utmost urgency. Things like weather, broken pipes, or ruptured water lines from household appliances can all cause significant damage. The tricky thing about water problems is that the longer the water sits in place the more damage it can cause to your home. If you address your water problems head on you can save yourself thousands while also reducing the chances of hazardous mold growth in your home.

Here are just a few of the costly consequences of not fixing your water problems right away.

Water Problems Can Decrease Your Home Value

Ignoring a water problem can cost you big in the long run. A water leak that goes unchecked can over time result in major water damage by impacting drains and other pipes throughout the home. The piping in your home is all interconnected, so the effect can quickly become widespread throughout the system. Your plumbing system actually runs through your walls, so a leak or burst pipe can damage or in some cases destroy walls entirely. Your floors are also susceptible to damage from even a minor leak. The quicker you call in a professional to help, the more likely they will be able to preserve your walls and floors.

Water Problems Will Increase Your Water Bill

A water leak or change in water usage is most often the culprit of an unusually high water bill. Common water problems that can raise your bill include leaking toilets, dripping faucets, or a broken water pipe. Having a technician out to inspect for leaks is a great way to avoid a small problem becoming a huge pain, plus you can avoid out of control water bills. Unseen and unfixed leaks can waste hundreds to thousands of gallons of water. It’s important to have your plumbing routinely checked for leaky faucets, toilets and problems with irrigation lines to prevent costly water bills and larger problems down the road.
