Water is life as they say and it is an essential natural element and one of the building blocks of life. As good as water is to human life it can also be man’s worst nightmare. Like fire, water can ruin just as it can build, therefore careful handling and channeling of water sources is not an option but a necessity. We are constantly inundated with news from all over the world about how tsunamis wipe out entire cities in one fell swoop. While this sounds like stories told to children in kindergarten it really is a serious matter. You may not live in tsunami or flood prone areas but you still have to take water handling seriously.

Water is used in every home and on most commercial properties. Anywhere human beings can be found water is most likely used. Water is channeled through pipes from its source to the point where it is needed such as taps and showers in the home. After using these pipes for a long time they gradually begin to wear and tear up to a point where leaking ensues.

In time, the cracks will begin to grow bigger and longer up until the time part of the wall begins to fall apart until it gradually gives way.
