I think there would be many more significant “leaks” in the pipe. As Jared quoted, many even go undetected, so how to account for them ??

Any takes on that ..

Thanks for stopping by and commenting.

A few months ago my next door neighbour (from the flat above me) went on holiday, and left her bath tap dripping. It was a barely noticeable leak, and it somehow missed her bath and went through the floorboards. As a result the ceiling of one room basically fell down.

…Small drips may seem minor – and at first undetectable – but over time they can become a significant force.

The only issue is the “leaks” usually go undetected by the “pipe owner”, so they often can’t tell something is wrong.
