Leak Repairs
Leaks are very common in both commercial buildings and residential homes. This is especially true for older buildings.
Common Signs You Have A Leak Include:
- Damp or stained walls, ceiling tiles or floors
- Unusual pipe noises
- Running water from fixtures
- High utility bills
Leaks are not always easy to spot and can cause expensive damage. Take the following example:
A typical kitchen faucet runs at about 1.0 gpm (gallons per minute).
Let’s say you have a very small leak that flows 0.1 gpm.If this is a continuous leak, you are looking at:
0.1 gpm = 6 gph (gallons per hour)
6gph = 144 gallons per day = 1,008 gallons per week = 4,032 gallons wasted per month
That’s a lot of milk jugs worth of water to just be pouring down the drain.
