why do pipes Leak?

There are several main causes of pipe leaks:

• Roots from surrounding trees and landscaping can push on the pipe and cause a crack.
• Bad or improperly installed glue joints can become loose over time.
• Too much stress on a fitting can eventually break it at the weakest point which is often the middle of the fitting.
• Copper pipes wear out over time. Most copper pipe is more than 30 years old and can become very thin.
• A pump rated for a higher horse power than the plumbing can handle can create too much pressure and breaks fittings.
