Wet pipes are almost always caused by either condensation or a leaky valve. One of the things you want to be aware of is that if water is dripping from a pipe to the floor, it is not necessarily coming from that spot. Water will flow along pipes, sometimes for quite a distance, before it finds a spot to drip. If you look up and don’t see anything obvious, follow the pipe to the source. Dripping pipes from condensation, however, will be wet everywhere.

If you have problems with wet pipes it’s covered on Page 3 and Section S – Page 54, 55 in The Home Waterproofers Manual – Home Waterproofing A to Z. I’ve used this same knowledge every day to fix water problems. It will work for you too. You can get the job done fast, at low cost and have a dry, healthy and livable home again. Don’t put yourself at the mercy of high priced waterproofers. You can save thousands of dollars and many headaches by learning what is going on first.

You can save thousands of dollars and many headaches by learning what is going on first. Often what looks like an expensive and serious problem may not be. Once the problem is explained, solving it is just common sense. I’ve used the knowledge I’ve put in The Home Waterproofers Manual – Home Waterproofing A to Z every day to fix water problems. It will work for you too.

But remember, when dealing with salesmen, in the waterproofing business it’s “buyer beware”. Most get a percentage of the sale and don’t consider it their job to save you money. They charge as much as they can. If they see a problem that can be fixed at low cost, or one that has a simple solution, they won’t mention it, but will only talk about “preventing serious damage” and try to scare you into signing a big contract.
