A Water Leak Can Lead to Expensive Cleanup and Restoration

According to some basic math, if you had a drip at a plumbing connection inside a wall cavity that produced a droplet once per second, that is over 3,000 gallons of water over a year. So, while it might not seem like a drip is any cause for significant alarm, several thousand gallons of water can have disastrous effects on the structural integrity of building materials. 

The Threats of a Persistent Drip 

Expressing that it could be an issue is not often enough for property owners to pursue water damage restoration for their Pflugerville houses. Homeowners want to know what an unassuming drip or minuscule leak might produce over time and why it is vital to pursue swift solutions for the sake of your home and its plumbing. 

  • Structural Damage 

The effect on the building materials is the most direct impact of a persistent drip that continues unabated. Moisture can destroy wood and drywall, which worsens when secondary effects like mold develop.

  • Mold and Mildew Growth 

Even a small leak is enough to feed the mold spores within your household. Wall cavities are a veritable buffet for colonies, using organic matter like drywall and wood framing as a base to grow the organism. Mold is an additional concern for homeowners who are slow to address plumbing issues and another restoration and remediation obstacle for our expert team dispatched to help.

  • Hidden Moisture 

Water spreads from the drip point in the wall, affecting a greater area than the immediate space under the compromised plumbing. When Lightspeed Restoration of Georgetown & Round Rock works to identify the extent of water damage, thermal imagery and sensors are necessary to track moisture migration for successful drying efforts.

When A Nuisance Becomes an Emergency 

If you have ever had a slow leak in your car’s tire that you didn’t fully repair, you have likely experienced when that small problem became a substantial issue. Your plumbing system is the same, where a change in pressure or conditions can exploit a vulnerable point to cause a burst or massive leak.
