Ark Plumbing offers fast emergency repairs and expert solutions for burst pipes and plumbing issues
Not all burst pipes lead to immediate flooding, but there are key warning signs to watch for. If you notice unexplained water pooling inside or outside your property, a sudden drop in water pressure, or unexpectedly high water bills, it could indicate a hidden leak.
Understanding what leads to burst pipes can help you take preventive action and avoid costly damage.
Aging and corroded pipes weaken over time, making them more prone to cracks and leaks. Extreme temperature changes can cause pipes to expand and contract, increasing the risk of fractures, while excessive water pressure puts unnecessary stress on plumbing, leading to failure.
Poor installation or workmanship can result in weak connections and increased vulnerability to leaks or bursts.
Taking proactive measures can significantly reduce the risk of burst pipes. Here’s how:
