Causes of Pipes Bursting

There are many causes for a pipe to burst including:

  • Freezing-when the temperature drops below or around freezing the water in your pipes can freeze causing pressure on the pipes and they expand and can burst, even in southern California. To avoid this when it’s cold leave the faucets on a drip to keep the water moving.
  • Tree Root Encroachment-As trees grow the roots under the soil grow deeper into the soil and can meet with your pipes. Pipes are not normally strong enough to keep the roots from growing in and around them. The pressure from the roots cause the pipes to burst. To prevent this always plant trees away from areas with underground piping.
  • Corrosion-This happens particularly with Steel pipes. Too much water has passed through over time causing the pipes to corrode and burst open. Replacing steel pipes with copper or plastic can reduce the risk of this happening
  • Soil Shifting-this happens during construction or even an earthquake, the soil shifts and causes the pipes to shift and break. Always have a construction crew mark out the pipes to avoid this.
  • High water pressure-High water pressure is caused by water coming from the city to your home to fast or impairments in your pipes cause the pressure to slow and rise intermittently. To make sure you have the correct water pressure, always call a professional plumber.
  • Clogs-Water pipes can become clogged by almost anything from hair to bathroom products , to food. Pay attention to what’s going down the drain.

 

We at Streamline have seen everyone of these scenarios before.

We offer general pipe inspection as well to check your pipes and make sure you’re not in danger of a pipe bursting.

 

 

How to avoid having a pipe burst

Pipes can burst anywhere you have plumbing.

  • Home or condo
  • Office building
  • Restaurant
  • Apartment complex
  • The city

If a pipe bursts in any of these places water is usually turned off until it is resolved and in cases like restaurants that means shutting down until the water is back on.

This cost time and money for businesses.

But how about not being able to shower after the gym and before you have to go to work, that doesn’t sound good.

To avoid this have your pipes inspected by a professional plumber every 5 years or so.

Also, if they do not already have your pipes insulated this regulates the temperature and can’t prevent burst pipes from weather.

If you need an emergency shut off of water you should call the water company immediately before you even call a plumber.
