Common Causes Of Water Leaks In Suffolk
Old Pipework
If you have an older house, your pipes may be getting rusty and starting to deteriorate. This is due to constant use and the natural shifting of your homes’ foundations over time. Corroding pipework is the leading cause of leaks, so if you have ageing pipes we recommend getting your plumbing checked to see if you may benefit from installing new ones.
Clogged Drains
When a blocked drain is left for too long, wastewater will build up in the pipes as it has nowhere else to go. This puts pressure on them, which will eventually cause leaks or bursts. Regular drain cleaning can prevent this problem and ensure any blockages are removed before it’s too late.
Nature
Leaks can begin outside the home just as easily as they can inside. As pipes run underground, it’s not uncommon for tree roots to intrude on the water lines and crack them, or press against a weak point where two pipes meet. Leaves and debris can also block gutters, preventing the water from flowing freely.
Excess Water Pressure
Most pipes can only withstand a certain level of water pressure. Water flowing with excessive or uneven force can strain your pipes, causing them to crack, leak or even burst. If your plumbing is fragile, a shower or tap that is too powerful can cause a serious issue, which is why we recommend checking your water pressure level regularly.
Damaged Joints
The point at which two pipes connect is often the weakest point in the line, opening up vulnerabilities to cracking and leaking. Unfortunately, most pipe joints are not easily visible. If you have noisy pipes, especially when you turn on the hot water, we recommend getting your plumbing checked by a plumber.
Poor Workmanship
Hiring an unqualified plumber or attempting a DIY job when you’re not sure what you’re doing can often lead to a leak. To further this, whether you’ve purchased an older home or a brand new property, you can never guarantee the quality of the plumbing. It’s always worth having a discussion with the previous owners about the age and quality of the pipework. If in doubt – contact a professional.

Leaks & Burst Pipes FAQs
Even if your water is turned off, there will still be a small amount left in your pipes. This is likely to freeze as still water freezes more easily than running water. Frozen pipes are at serious risk of breaking, or bursting when they thaw out.
If your pipe has burst while your water is off, don’t turn the water back on until you’ve called a qualified plumber. For burst pipes in Suffolk, call specialist emergency plumber PD Parnell Plumbing on 07977 857224. We will provide a professional opinion and immediate, long-term solution to protect your pipes and home.
The most obvious sign you have a burst pipe is a skyrocketing water bill. If you often find yourself questioning why your water bill is so high, chances are you have a leaking or burst pipe somewhere in your house. Other signs include damp patches on floors, walls or ceilings, noisy taps or pipes, puddles under sinks, and growing mould.
If you’re concerned about a potential leak in your home and need a leak detection specialist in Suffolk, call PD Parnell Plumbing today for an efficient detection and repair service.
Ignoring a water leak can lead to serious damage to your property. If you have noticed signs of a leak in your home, you should contact an emergency plumber as soon as possible. For serious leaks or burst pipes, turn off the main water supply immediately to prevent flooding before a plumber arrives.

Burst pipes can be very dangerous. Water flooding into your home can ruin furniture, cause serious damage to flooring, walls and ceilings, stain furniture, and destroy household items. Sometimes the water damage can be so severe that it may require you to seek temporary accommodation whilst repairs are happening.
Therefore it is absolutely vital to seek help as soon as possible. At the first sign of a burst pipe – contact an emergency plumber. For burst pipes in Suffolk, call PD Parnell Plumbing for immediate advice over the phone and a lightning-fast 30-minute response time.
The most common time for a pipe to burst is when they are frozen. Low temperatures put huge amounts of pressure on unprotected pipework, making the pipes likely to crack. However, there are also other reasons a pipe may burst, such as high water pressure, tree roots growing in the pipe, or clogging further down the line.
If a pipe bursts in your home, it’s important to take immediate action to minimise the damage to your property. Hiring an experienced plumber is the best way to ensure repairs are made quickly and accurately.
