Why Do Pipes Burst?
Freezing
In winter months, water can cool down and slowly start to freeze. Yes, even in Louisiana.
This can go unnoticed as you can still have water flowing through your taps, albeit much slower.
If water freezes at centralized parts of a pipe, it causes pressure to build up. This can lead to a burst pipe.
Tree Roots
Roots growing in compacted soils in your yard can put pressure on your pipes, leading to cracking and leaking. Also, tree roots are usually moving towards underground water and sewer lines.
Once they reach a pipe, they keep growing and applying pressure from the inside. If not remedied, this can go on until the pipes burst.
Corrosion, Rust, and Age
Constant exposure to water and other elements puts metal pipes at risk of corrosion. Over time, metallic pipes age and develop rust, weakening their joints, seals, and pipe walls.
This can eat away at the pipe, causing small cracks and fissures. Eventually, they would rupture.
Clogs
Pipes perform only when they’re clear, allowing water to flow through them uninterrupted.
When pipes become clogged, however, the pressure inside them increases very quickly. This pressure then leads to cracks and ruptures in the pipe.
High Water Pressure
Different pipes’ material, thickness, and diameter make them able to withstand a particular level of water pressure.
While pressure is a good thing, especially in the shower, excessive pressure stresses your water pipes, which can cause them to burst.
Listen out for hammer noises that sound like banging from inside the pipes. If you can detect this, call your plumber immediately.
If it’s too late and the floor is flooded, call us to mitigate the damage.
What Damage Can Occur After Your Pipes Burst?
Depending on the pressure of the flow, a burst pipe can severely damage your house in a matter of minutes.
Worse, some pipes are concealed in the walls, meaning it can take weeks or even months to detect a leak.
Your floors and walls can experience serious damage. It’s especially disastrous if you have wooden floors, as too much water can cause them to warp or damage them as water seeps in.
Water that leaks and becomes trapped in the walls damages the drywall and even the insulation, often necessitating a replacement.
