However, by being proactive at the first sign of a problem, you can prevent a costly disaster in the future. If left alone, burst pipes can worsen and cause significant issues such as:

Increased Bills

Constant leaks can significantly increase your water bills.

Structural Damage

A burst pipe can damage your home, increasing the risk of structural damage and even collapse.

Poor pressure

Burst pipes can affect your water pressure, forcing you to use more than usual and increasing costs.

Answering Your Burst Pipe Questions

Why did my pipes burst?

There are several reasons why your pipes may have burst. Most types of pipes can last for decades with proper care, but neglect can shorten their lifespan.

Likewise, the environment your pipes are in may also affect them. Pipes that regularly freeze under cold temperatures can weaken the material, making them more likely to burst under pressure.

Corrosion is also a common concern, as rust may weaken pipes and increase the risk of bursting.

What should I do if my pipes burst?

If your pipes have burst, it’s important that you turn off the water supply as soon as possible. There is usually a valve you can turn off near the water meter.

Once off, avoid the affected area for safety reasons and call a professional plumber for help. Depending on where the burst pipe is, you may be at risk, as piping and electrical systems can be close together.

What if I can't find a leak?

Sometimes, checking entire plumbing systems can be overwhelming. It can make it difficult for you to pinpoint your leaking pipes. But that is where our team comes in.

We have years of experience navigating plumbing problems and can conduct a comprehensive leak detection search to find your plumbing issue. Whether that be burst pipes or blocked drains, you can trust our reliable service to get results.

How long does it take to repair burst pipes?

How long it takes to repair your pipes will depend on how severe the problem is. A small leak may be repaired in just a few hours. However, extensive issues with your plumbing system may take a few days to fully address.

How do I prevent pipes from bursting?

Regular inspections by a professional can help ensure your plumbing system is in good repair. They can identify issues before they occur and avoid the need for costly repairs in the future.
