Water leaks can spring up anywhere. They can be in your ceiling, walls, slab, irrigation lines, pool, spa, just about anywhere. Wherever water flows through a pipe you have a potential future water leak.
TIP 1

If you have a water pressure regulator you can adjust the water pressure in your home. Go to Home Depot or Lowes and buy a $10 water pressure gauge. Test your water pressure and make sure it isn't higher than 80 psi. If it is, dial it down. Ideal home water pressure is between 55 and 75 psi. Different people prefer different settings, but it should be within this range.
If you don't have a water pressure regulator and your water pressure is above 80 psi, contact a licensed plumbing contractor to install one and adjust your water pressure for you. Here at All Trades we're always ready to help you.
