What Causes Burst Pipes?

A burst pipe is a serious plumbing problem that can cause immense damage to your property and possessions. Often, burst pipes occur with little to no warning, which leaves homeowners wondering what they could have done differently. In some cases, burst pipes are unavoidable, while in others, they could be caused by inadequate maintenance and care over time. Some of the most common causes of burst pipes include: Poor workmanship if your pipes were installed by a plumber that cut corners or saved costs in the wrong way, blocked pipes, which can slow down the flow of water or cause burst pipes if they’re not fixed quickly, older pipes, which have simply been worn away over time by years of heavy use. While many of these causes of burst pipes can’t easily be prevented, some of them can be identified by experienced plumbing before your pipes burst. If you see any signs that there may be problems with your plumbing, including slow-flowing drains and foul odours, it’s important to hire licensed, expert plumbers to repair any issues that arise and identify preventable problems before they cause serious damage.

Burst pipes can cause significant damage to your home or property in a very short time, as well as effectively making it impossible to use the affected water system without triggering further damage. It’s very important that burst pipes are fixed as soon as possible, in order to prevent damage including: Indoor flooding, which can ruin floors, carpets, furniture, and other indoor fittings, Mould growth, caused by excess moisture, structural damage, caused by water damage to floors, ceilings, and walls Having your burst pipe fixed as soon as possible by an emergency plumber is the only way to minimise your risk of significant damage caused by burst pipes.

How Are Burst Pipes Repaired?

In an emergency, plumbers can use temporary fixes such as clamp repairs and even epoxy resin to stop leaking pipes on a short-term basis. However, it’s important that permanent repairs are made to all burst pipes as soon as possible. This can be done using a burst pipe coupling or, in the case of severe bursts, replacing the affected length of the pipe with a new pipe. An experienced plumber will assess the individual requirements of your burst pipe before making recommendations for repairs, which should depend on the severity of the burst and the overall condition of the pipe.
