What Are Common Pipe Burst Problems Experts Can Fix?

Pipe bursts can occur due to old unattended issues, structural damage, or other reasons. Let’s check out from here, the common reasons which lead to pipe bursts –

Improper installation

One of the major reasons for pipe bursts is improper installation of the pipes that leads to poor pipe connections. This increases the risk of a pipe burst, whenever; there is an extra force in the water flow. The water pipe can easily detach from the seam due to any external influence after reaching the breaking point faster than usual. This is why proper measurements and other standard installation steps must be followed before pipe installation. Also, proper inspection by experts can easily identify these underlying issues and save you from a pipe burst.

High water pressure

Excessive water pressure is a common reason for water pipe bursts. The home water supplying pipes are built to withstand a certain amount of pressure, which mainly ranges from 40-45 psi or so as labelled on the faucets. Water that reaches our home through these pipes can be sometimes pumped in a higher volume and at a higher speed. Thus, the water pressure increases considerably and beyond a certain point, the pipes are unable to withstand the pressure and release the pressure by eventually bursting. If you have recently experienced such a situation or are fearful that it can show up in the future, make sure to reach out to burst pipe plumber Mandurah experts and let them repair your burst pipes and do the needful.

Corrosion

After years of supplying water to your house, the pipes which are mainly made of steel can erode away, due to wear and tear and ultimately, burst open under any amount of water pressure. This is why replacement of pipes are required after a certain point of time. As per expert suggestion, replacing the steel pipes with plastic or copper can also, help in reducing the wear and tear significantly.

Unattended and unnoticed clogs in the water pipes can cause them to burst open due to the excessive build up of internal pressure.
