HOW ARE BURST PIPES CAUSED?
Burst pipes are common plumbing emergencies that can be caused by a wide variety of sources. The easiest way to determine exactly what caused your burst pipe is to call for a professional inspection. The most common factors that are to blame include the following. Tests should be conducted for approximately 30-40 minutes to ensure an accurate result.

EXTREME WEATHER
Heavy rain, strong winds, and even hurricanes can all cause your pipes to shift and break.

BLOCKAGES
When allowed to grow and take up more space inside your pipes, blockages can cause leaks and bursts.

TREE ROOTS
When tree roots make their way into pipes, they may squeeze or block them to the point of bursting.

PROPERTY DAMAGE
Damage inflicted onto a pipe during landscaping or remodelling is a common cause of burst pipes.
LOOK FOR THE SIGNS OF A BURST PIPE
If a pipe bursts in the floor or ceiling of your property, it can be some time before you notice. All too often the first you’ll know about it is when a bulge appears, or the water is flowing in a torrent. But not every burst pipe is a torrent of water gushing from the ceiling. You should also keep an eye out for damp patches on walls, ceilings and floors. These patches, as well as a loss of water pressure, unusual noises in the system and even electrical faults, can all point to a burst pipe being the problem. Regardless of the prevention taken, sometimes burst pipes will still happen. What you do when you discover one will make the difference between an inconvenience or a total disaster.
SIGNS TO LOOK OUT FOR

LACK OF PRESSURE
Have you noticed a lack of water pressure when using sink taps or taking a shower?

INCREASING BILLS
Is your latest water bill higher than normal, even though you haven’t been using more water?

SOFT LAWN PATCHES
Burst pipes can lead to puddles of water forming and creating damp areas around your yard.
