Causes of Burst Water Pipes
Sadly old, worn, badly installed pipes can just burst. Even perfectly good ones can fail if water pressure is too high and exceeds their tolerances which is one of the most common causes of bust pipes and water leaks. here is a list of the most common causes of burst pipes:
- Corroded Pipes - Older pipes that are copper (or other metals)will corrode over time if left exposed to the elements
- High Water Pressure - This is very common and can often be signified by “water hammer” which is a loud knocking sound when turning taps on and off
- Blockages - Pipes that become blocked will also increase the water pressure as well as the drainage and other issues, usually the burst will occur at joins or damaged weak spots
- Tree Roots - Outdoor underground pipes are prone to damage over time from tree roots which will slowly pressure a pipe. into breaking then they will grow inside and block it
- Freezing - This happens less often due to our climate but poorly insulated pipes can be prone to freezing which causes expansion and contraction and so often cracks pipes and joins
- Bad Installation - Poor installation techniques or just low-quality materials will often not last as long as they should and can fail over time. Freecall offer a guarantee on labour and parts
