How Pipes Burst to Happen

When you live in areas with cold winters, your pipes are at risk of freezing whenever the temperature drops. The expanding ice within the pipe blocks the water flow and it can cause a rupture to the pipe. When the water spills out, your property can quickly become flooded and damaged. Therefore, you need to be careful about frozen pipes in your home.

The other reason for a pipe burst can be the material of the pipe. If a pipe is made of cast iron, steel, or lead, it can become rusted and damaged over time and eventually burst. Luckily, new homes and buildings have pipes that are made of copper and PVC which are rust-resistant materials.

Moreover, if the pipe fitting or installation is wrong, your pipes eventually lose connections, and burst pipes happened. Standard fittings are important to avoid burst pipes.

The last common reason for a pipe burst is “hard water” with calcium and magnesium that can build up within the pipes. The accumulation of the minerals can clog a pipe and prevent the water from flowing. This causes pressure within pipes that can lead to a burst to relieve the pressure.

How to Prevent Burst Pipes

There are some precautions you may want to take to prevent burst pipes.

• First, you can install home water filtration plants.
• Second, you should add a water softener to the water supply.
• Third, you can replace old pipes with new plastic ones and make sure they have the right fitting.
• And lastly, you should insulate the pipes that are in exposed areas.

Even if you take all the precautions against a pipe burst, it may still occur, and you can experience serious water damage. In that case, do not hesitate to call RestorationMaster for professional cleanup services.
