Burst Pipes
One of the most common plumbing issues is the bursting of pipes. Pipes can burst at any time and without warning, causing major problems. Bursting of pipes requires the attention of qualified plumbers. Structural damage can also be one of the major reasons for pipes to burst. Pipes can burst because of moving and frozen pipes, corrosion and increased water pressure. Burst pipes can lead to expensive repair bills. Pipes can burst mostly in winter in areas where temperatures fall below zero. In these areas, it is also advisable to take precautions to protect the pipes and try to keep the temperature of your home or business facility reasonably warm.
Reasons for Burst Pipes and How to Fix Them
Pipe bursts can have disastrous consequences. Here are some reasons for burst pipes and important tips on how to fix them.
High Pressure of Water:
If the water pressure is significantly higher than normal, it can lead to the bursting of the pipe. As the water pressure increases, the pipes can rupture easily. A pressure reducing valve can be installed by a professional plumber which helps in adjusting the water pressure down to safer levels.
Some Other Signs of Burst Pipes:
You should check for damp patches on walls, ceilings and floors. Unusual sounds and electrical faults can also lead to burst pipes. If water is leaking, you must stay away from electrical devices and immediately call an expert plumber to fix the issue.
