What causes a burst pipe?

Burst pipes are typically caused by:

• Freezing temperatures: Water expands when it freezes, putting immense pressure on pipes that can cause them to burst.
• High water pressure: Excessive water pressure in the pipes can weaken them over time, leading to ruptures.
• Corrosion: Pipes can corrode and weaken over time, making them susceptible to breakage.
• Tree roots: Tree roots growing into sewer or water pipes can cause damage and leaks.
• Ground settling: Movement or shifting of the ground can put stress on pipes, causing breaks.
• Old or damaged pipes: Pipes that are old or damaged from previous issues are more likely to burst.

If you notice wet spots or hear unusual sounds in your walls, consult a plumber as quickly as possible.
