What Causes Burst Pipes?
Knowing what causes a burst pipe is half the battle. Once you know what to look out for, it makes it easier to know when to call us to repair a burst pipe. This means less sitting around hoping your home isn’t damaged. Here’s what you should look for:
- Age: Many homeowners don’t think about the age of their pipes. But just like any other major appliance in your home, your pipes get old. If your home is older than 40, you may still have steel, clay, or cast iron pipes, all of which are prone to leaking, cracking, and corrosion.
- Root Invasion: Tree roots grow towards sources of moisture looking for water and nutrients. Unfortunately, your pipes are prime real estate for tree roots looking for a source. This can cause pressure build-up, clogs, or worse.
- Clogs: If you don’t practice best practices when it comes to what goes down your drains, you could be facing down a burst pipe. This is because build-ups in your drains could lead to increased pressure.
How to Avoid a Burst Pipe
A burst pipe can seem like a scary issue, especially if you don’t catch it in time. There are steps you can take to keep your plumbing system working smoothly. Proper practices can keep your drains clear and prevent serious issues. Here are some steps you can take:
- Regular Inspection: Having a set of professional eyes on your plumbing can give you confidence that there are no major issues lurking and going untreated in your home’s plumbing.
- Modern Techniques: Spotting an issue before it gets too bad for an easy fix can save you money and a huge hassle. With clog and leak detection tools, we can find a problem with your drains before it starts showing obvious signs.
