Four tips to stop major pipe issues before they happen

OKLAHOMA CITY, Feb. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Champion Plumbing, a leading provider of plumbing services to the Oklahoma City area, wants homeowners to avoid costly repairs due to a leaky pipe this winter. As temperatures continue to drop, the chances of a water leak increase for residents.

"Pipes can expand or even burst when water freezes inside them," said Brent Harpole of Champion Plumbing. "It is important to recognize a water leak early before it has a chance to become a minor or even major problem."

Harpole and the Champion Plumbing team offers these four tips for early leak detection to ensure you can recognize a small problem before it evolves into something worse.

• A decrease in water pressure: Is the water pressure in the shower not what it used to be? It could be a sign that you have a leak. One of the common warning signs is a reduction in pressure due to a leaky pipe.
• Increase in water bill: If your water bill has increased over time without a change in water usage, there is a chance of a water leak. This can be caused by a broken pipe, a leaky faucet, a leaky toilet or a variety of other issues.
• Random wet spots: If a wet spot is found on the floor, wall or ceiling, there is a chance of a leak. These are normally found near sinks, toilets or tubs.
• Mold or mildew is forming: If moisture is present, there is a chance of mold growth. Seeing this form on floors, walls or ceilings is a sign of a leak.

"Simple tasks such as checking for wet spots or paying attention to water pressure can help prevent a bigger issue, such as flooding," said Harpole. "Remaining aware of potential issues today can save you money on repairs in the future."
