Common Causes of Burst Pipes
Freezing Temperatures: In colder months, water inside pipes can freeze and expand, causing the pipe to burst. We can help you insulate your pipes to prevent this from happening.
Corrosion: Over time, pipes can corrode due to age, water quality, or chemical exposure, leading to weak spots that are prone to bursting. We can assess the condition of your pipes and recommend necessary replacements.
High Water Pressure: Excessive water pressure can strain your pipes, causing them to burst. We can check your system’s pressure levels and install pressure regulators if needed.
Tree Roots: Tree roots can invade your underground pipes, causing cracks and eventual bursts. Our team can locate and remove the roots to prevent further damage.
Clogged Pipes: Severe blockages can increase pressure in your pipes, leading to bursts. We offer comprehensive drain clearing services to reduce this risk.
