WHAT CAUSES A BURST PIPE ?

 

A rupture in the pipes are one of the most common plumbing problems.

 

1. Your pipes are old

Old pipes are weakend over the years through the normal wear and tear of daily usage. The weak pipes then become a prime spot for leaks and ruptures in loose joints and worn out pipe segments.

 

2. Water pressure

This could be anything from blocked toilets or clogged water pipes causing a pressure build up in the water pipes to build pressure. High water pressure also comes from pipes being too small to handle the amount of water flowing through the pipes causing an issue with pressure regulation within the pipes.

 

3. Water freezing

During the cold winter months temperatures may drop causing the pipes to freeze and as water in the pipes freeze, this causes the pipes to expand, putting additional pressure on the pipes causing the pipes to burst. Unprotected or pipes that have not been properly insulated become the most likely places for a burst to occur.

 

4. Heat

During our hot summer months the temperatures rise and we experience less rainfall, the ground dries out and causes old pipes to shift, making them more vulnerable to bursting.
