Our local North Naples team responds to water damage emergencies 24 hours a day in South Naples. A poor solder seam in your plumbing system can lead to persistent leaks and significant water damage over time.

Soldering is a common method used to join copper pipes, but if the process is done correctly, it can create strong joints that eventually fail. Even a small imperfection in the soldering can allow water to escape, slowly causing damage to your home's structure.

Leaks from poorly soldered seams often start small, making them difficult to detect until the damage is already done. Over time, the leaking water can cause wood rot, mold growth, and damage to drywall and flooring. In severe cases, the water can even compromise your home's foundation.

To prevent this, it's essential to have any soldering work done by a qualified professional who can ensure that the joints are properly sealed.

If you spot signs of a leak, like water stains or moisture near pipe joints, it's crucial not to overlook them. Addressing the issue early on can prevent more serious and expensive water damage later.

Routine inspections can identify potential problems before they escalate, helping to safeguard your home against the damaging effects of poor soldering work.
