You might not think that the constant drip, drip, dripping from your bathroom tap is anything to worry about. Maybe the slight leak you’ve found under the kitchen sink or behind the toilet is barely noticeable, especially since the towel you’ve put there seems to be collecting all the water just fine. No need to call a plumber when it’s not really a problem, right?
Your water bill is unusually high
That’s where you’d be sadly mistaken. Although you might not be ankle-deep in water just yet, that little leak could be costing you a lot more than you think. Does your water bill seem higher than it should be? It’s likely to be because of that leak you’re trying your best to ignore. A minor leak that’s left untreated will waste litres and litres of water every year, all of which you’ll be paying for.
The leak could get even worse
Another reason you shouldn’t leave that leak alone is because it might get worse, causing bigger problems that will prove to be a much more expensive to fix later on. Not only will a larger leak mean a higher water bill, but corrosion could leave you with the expense of having to replace expensive pipework or tiling. What’s more is that a persistent leak could cause significant water damage to your property, which will only increase over time if the problem is left alone.
A quick and easy way to solve the problem
So why sit on that leak any longer? A small leak is a lot easier to fix than a large one, and a lot less expensive too.
