Causes of Burst Pipes

When a pipe bursts, it is generally the result of too much stress on the pipe, which causes it to break open and start flooding your home. There are a few common causes of burst pipes.

Pipes may burst as a result of:

  • Frozen pipes – Cold weather can cause the water to freeze inside the pipe. This causes the water to expand, creating additional pressure inside the pipe walls. When the pressure builds to a point where it needs to escape, it will burst right through the pipe or a weak joint.
  • Corrosion – Pipes may corrode due to age or a pH imbalance in your water. As
  • Water pressure – A sudden increase in water pressure or water pressure that is too high can cause a pipe to rupture.
  • Moving pipes – When pipes aren’t properly secured during installation, they may move back and forth when the water is turned on or off. This can weaken the joints and result in the pipe bursting.

Understanding the reason that a pipe bursts is essential for performing an efficient repair and preventing the problem from happening again. For example, if freezing, corrosion, or high water pressure is the reason the pipe burst, it is important to address that issue to avoid future burst pipes.
