How long can a water leak go undetected?

• <div><p>Depending on the location of the water leak, it could go undetected for weeks, months, or even years in some extreme cases. Most homeowners who have plumbing leaks have slow drips, so you might not see signs of damage until they become severe problems. It’s a good idea to have a plumbing inspection done annually and to take steps yourself to check for leaks, including inspecting your floor, walls, and ceilings for signs of water damage, monitoring your utility bills, and looking for water around appliances and fixtures.</p></div>

Q: How much clean water can my cistern provide?

• <div><p>The amount of clean water your cistern can supply depends on its size and the local rainfall patterns. Cisterns range from a few hundred to several thousand gallons in capacity. </p><p>To estimate the potential supply, consider the average annual rainfall in your area and the catchment area of your roof. For instance, a 1,000-square-foot roof can collect around 600 gallons of water from just one inch of rainfall. </p><p>Multiply this by the average annual rainfall to get a rough idea. However, factors like evaporation and system efficiency will also play a role.</p></div>

Q: Can a shower diverter be fixed?

• <div><p>Yes, you can fix a shower diverter in many cases, depending on the specific problem. If hard water buildup is the issue, you can disassemble and clean your diverter. You may also be able to replace specific components when they break or wear down. All diverters are different, so when replacing parts, you&rsquo;ll need to make sure you purchase a repair kit that&rsquo;s compatible with your specific model. </p></div>

Q: What can cause a water pipe to leak?

• <div><p>There are many reasons why water pipes leak. The most common reasons include clogs, broken rubber seals that deteriorate over time, corrosion on copper, brass, or galvanized pipes, and damaged pipe joints.</p><p>You might also have a leak if your water pressure is too high (usually higher than 60 psi) or if your fixtures have a crack. Moreover, natural changes in the area around your underground pipes, like growing tree roots, flooding, or earthquakes, can cause leaky water pipes.</p></div>

Q: Can I shower when the water main is broken?

• <div><p>While you may have some water, it's best to wait until after the repair is complete to use your home's pipes. For one thing, the water pressure will most likely be greatly reduced, leading to a less-than-intense shower. There's also the risk of contamination from dirt and bacteria that can enter the broken water main pipe. In many cases, a pro will <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-turn-off-water-main.htm">turn off the flow of water from your water main</a> to do the repairs, so showering won&rsquo;t likely be an option.</p></div>
