1. Leaking Faucet 
A leaking faucet usually requires two repairs: one 
for the fixture itself, and another for the drip pan 
under the sink. The drip pans catch water seepage 
from drain pipes, so they need to be emptied 
frequently. Two types of fixtures exist which are 
more likely than others to quickly develop leaks: 
compression faucets and disc faucets.

2. Showerhead Drips
Leaky Shower Head or Faucet Combination When an 
outdoor faucet head starts to drip, chances are good that 
its rubber washer needs replacing rather than a whole new 
fixture being required. However, many times the seals 
used in these fixtures eventually start to harden and crack, 
and replacements can be expensive. Image Source

3. Leaking Toilet  
The most common way that water damage in a 
home is caused by a leaking toilet is due to faulty or 
damaged seals between the tank and bowl of the 
toilet. These leaks can cause problems in nearby 
walls, floors, and foundations if left untreated. 
Another common problem is leaking valves under 
the floor which can be more difficult to detect since 
they allow water from around the toilet to seep into 
surrounding areas instead of directing it all toward 
the drain pipe beneath the fixture.

4. Broken Water Line Damage
Broken Water Line Damage to a home's water line can 
Image Source occur very quickly due to road work being done on a 
street that shares a pipe with a residence, or due to a 
burst pipe in the ground underneath a house which 
causes water to flow directly into the dirt.
While repairs can be costly, they are often covered by 
home insurance. If this happens near a road where 
excavation work is happening, it may cause delays 
with projects being completed since replacing a line 
can take weeks or even months.
