Common Causes of Burst Pipes
- Clogs: Clogged pipes cause water pressure to build inside, causing the pipe to shift, expand, and burst open.
- Accidental Damage: Property owners or contractors might accidentally cause damage during renovations.
- Improper Installation: If pipes are not properly installed to begin with, it can lead to future problems, including burst pipes.
- Extreme Weather: If the temperatures drop below freezing levels, the water left in pipes can freeze and expand, leading to pipe bursts. Exposed or poorly insulated pipes are especially at risk of freezing and breaking.
- Tree Roots: Tree roots are naturally drawn to moist soil, and if your piping is set too close, the roots may grow towards the pipes and eventually break through them.
How To Prevent Burst Pipes
Unfortunately, some instances of burst pipes are unavoidable and out of our hands. There are other instances however, where burst pipes can be prevented.
- Slow Drip: During freezing weather if you allow a faucet or two to drip slowly, you may be able to avoid burst pipes. It’s more difficult for water to freeze if it’s moving.
- Water Pressure: Water pressure should be between 30 and 50 psi. If you’ve found that it’s consistently higher than 60 psi, it’s time to call a plumber.
Replacement: If you notice that some of your pipes are damaged or corroded, get them replaced. A small fix can avoid potentially huge problems.
