At Wilcox Plumbing, we understand that even the smallest pipe leak can lead to big problems if left unaddressed. Water damage, mold growth, and increased utility bills are just the beginning. That’s why timely and professional pipe leak repair is critical—not only to protect your home or business but to give you peace of mind.
What Causes Pipe Leaks?
Pipe leaks can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
- Corrosion: Metal pipes rust and degrade over time, weakening the structure.
- High Water Pressure: Can crack pipes or loosen joints.
- Temperature Changes: Frozen water expands and bursts pipes.
- Loose Connections: Common in older fittings or poorly installed lines.
- Aging Infrastructure: Older homes often use outdated materials that deteriorate.
Know Your Pipes: Material, Lifespan, and Leak Risk
| Pipe Material | Expected Lifespan | Common Leak Risks | Found In |
|---|---|---|---|
| Copper | 50+ years | Corrosion, pinhole leaks | Older & newer homes |
| Galvanized Steel | 20–50 years | Rust buildup, internal corrosion | Homes built before 1970 |
| PVC | 25–40 years | Cracking under pressure/temp | Drain lines, modern homes |
| PEX | 40–50 years | UV damage (if exposed), kinks | Newer residential plumbing |
| Cast Iron | 75–100 years | Corrosion, joint failure | Older buildings (drainage) |
