Water leaks can cause substantial damage to your ceiling, home furnishings, and floors if not managed promptly. There are two types of water leaks: minor leaks and major leaks. The main difference between these types of leaks is their potential for damage. A minor leak, such as a leaking faucet, is unlikely to cause serious consequences so long as it is noticed and fixed quickly. However, a major leak, like a leaking pipe or a leaking water line, can lead to major flooding if it is not stopped immediately. When you discover a major leak in your home or office, try to find the easiest way to turn off your water valve for a temporary fix, then dial Warwick Emergency Plumbing immediately. You can also reduce water damage by placing a durable container under the leaking pipe while you wait for plumbing professionals to arrive.
