A plumbing repair is never wanted and may end up being pricey, but it’s critical to make sure all plumbing leaks are repaired right away. Some homeowners in the U.S. might think, “Oh, it’s just a small water spot, it’s nothing.” But honestly water damage you can see is generally just the tip of the iceberg.
Wall Damage
The lines for your plumbing system are installed behind your walls so any leaks, or worse, a full pipe burst, can moisten the drywall or ruin it entirely. If you see any wet spots or feel there's a leak, call Service Experts immediately to assess the situation and we can perform your plumbing repair to avoid any further damage.
Fixture Damage
While you may regard plumbing issues as being just in your drains and pipes, leaks and water quality troubles may actually ruin your fixtures, including faucets and showerheads. A decayed gasket could become stuck in the plumbing lines or lower your water pressure. If not fixed quickly and correctly, you could end up needing to replace your fixture, which can cost between $150 and $550 or more.
Flooring Damage
Just like the walls, a plumbing problem can also cause harm to your floors. Gravity drives water to run downhill which can result in leaks under your floors. Buckled and discolored floorboards and loose tiles are evidence that you may be in need of plumbing repair. The earlier you call an expert plumber, the better likelihood you have of not having to marks all the flooring, so call Service Experts as soon as you see any evidence of damage.
Mold Issues
In certain situations, moisture in the walls and floors could result in mold growth, so if you see any indications that you may need plumbing repair, call immediately because you may need someone else besides a plumbing expert Ð you may also need the service of a mold remediation business to remove mold and parts of your wall or floors.

Cost of Wasting Water

If your water bill is higher than usual, be sure to call your Service Experts in case you need a plumbing repair.
