The Cost of Leaks

Here at White’s Plumbing, we understand why Tallahassee plumbing service searchers are sometimes frantic when they call us. The likely cause of their concern is a leak that has sprung in their bathroom or kitchen. As they dial our number, they’re standing amidst a sea of spray, watching in dismay as their newly-laid wood floors become soaked with moisture.

If you have a leak, call us. Even if the situation does not seem as dire as the one described above, leaks can have some nasty consequences if ignored for too long. Some of these include:

Higher water and electric bills. If a hot line is involved, the electric bill will see a hit; if a toilet is left running, the water bill will increase dramatically.
There are many causes for leaks, and some are more difficult to resolve than others. They include holes in pipes, pipe erosion, city water that is highly pressurized and more.
Electrolysis can occur, which will lead to quick breakdown of pipes. We see this occurrence with old-fashioned galvanized pipes that combine with copper and the acid in soil to erode.
Slab leaks that are hard to detect. We actually look for these using electronic equipment, which allows us to stop the leak at its source and allow a home or commercial business owner to save the majority of their floor.

Most leaks won’t stand to be ignored for long. They seep into cabinetry and up through the floors, wasting water and energy and rotting everything in its path. Contact White’s Plumbing today for your all-inclusive leak inspection.
