Water leaks are bad for your home and worse for your health. Water damage from faulty or old plumbing can cause structural damage, mold, sewage back-ups and more. It’s important to have professionals inspect any suspicious areas that might be showing signs of damage and make any necessary repairs as soon as possible.

We take care of preventative maintenance, regular repairs, and can save the day in an emergency, 24/7. It’s important for the health of your family and your home to keep your plumbing working right and to keep an eye out for water damage before the situation gets too dire.
Leakages from a malfunctioning plumbing system or from wear and tear over time can cause water damage – even from the tiniest hole or crack. Mold can form and spread spores when water is present and collects where it shouldn’t, causing a whole host of health problems that can get serious. Skin irritations, problems breathing, and consistent sickness among the family is a possible sign of mold. Mold can cause damage to your health slowly, over time, too. Many homes have some mold present, but it doesn’t become a real problem until water is added to the mix.
Water damage is not only costly, but a history of damage and repairs can reflect badly on the worth of your home and property values. Flood damage is a major concern for home owners, but a simple leak left too long can lead to major problems, too. Not only hazardous to health, water leaks can lead to structural damage that builds over time and might go unnoticed to the untrained eye until it’s a big problem.
How can you spot hazards? Strange or foul-smelling odours are a good indicator. Musty smells can indicate mold growth, and sewage smells are an obvious sign something is wrong. Water flowing directly from the faucet that carries an unpleasant scent means there could be a leaky sewer pipe that is exposing your water supply to bacteria and contamination. Examine your walls and ceilings for signs of discolouration, faint outlines of water damage, or bulging.
