What Causes Burst Pipes?

Besides a fire, water damage is a homeowner’s biggest nightmare. Burst pipes are a significant cause of water damage, but most are preventable if you know the causes.

Freezing Temperatures: If water inside pipes freezes, it expands and puts immense pressure on the pipe walls. As the ice continues to expand, it can cause the pipe to crack or burst.

Corrosion: Over time, pipes can corrode due to various factors including age, water quality, and chemical reactions. Corrosion weakens the pipe walls, making them more susceptible to leaks and bursts. This is especially problematic in older homes with metal pipes, such as those made of iron or galvanized steel.

Excessive Water Pressure: Excessively high water pressure puts constant strain on pipes and their connections. Over time, this can weaken the pipes and lead to leaks or bursts.

Physical Damage: Pipes can get damaged by external forces like construction work, tree roots, soil shifting, and accidental impacts.

If your pipes constantly leak or need repairs, you may need to repipe your house. Call us for an inspection.
