Two Main Causes of Interior Water Leaks After Cold Weather
After a few days of extremely cold weather, it isn’t uncommon for a leak to develop in your home. The causes could be a burst water supply line, ruptured hose bibb, condensation from a drain or plumbing vent line, a sump or sewage ejector leaking… just to name a few.
