Burst Pipe
A burst pipe is a relatively common issue. Occasionally, they burst without warning, leaving you unprepared for the aftermath. Your pipes are very durable, but experiencing a burst one is not an easy fix for most homeowners. It is best to call a plumber. Here are some common causes:
Old Pipes
Certain materials are more prone to bursting than others. Pipes in older houses may have materials susceptible to breaking. It is possible for old plumbing systems to break regardless of material.
Outside Pressure
Your system can also shift due to shifting soil, tree roots, or natural disasters.
High Water Pressure
While this is less common, a burst pipe may be caused by excessive water pressure. Correct installation and set-up can minimize the risk of this happening
Preventing a Burst Pipe
In order to keep your pipes intact, there are several steps you can take. Proper usage can prevent pipe bursts.
-
KEEP WATER FLOWING:
Leaving a small amount of water running through your pipes during the winter will prevent them from freezing. -
KEEP YOUR HOUSE WARM:
By keeping your house warm, you will likely maintain the temperature of the pipes under your floor and behind your walls. -
LEAVE CABINETS OPEN:
In places such as the kitchen and bathroom, leaving your cabinets open will allow warm air to reach exposed pipes, preventing them from freezing. -
DISCONNECT YOUR HOSE:
When water can't drain from your hose bib, you'll need to replace the outside hose bib. Disconnect the hose during freezing weather to avoid the hassle.
