A burst pipe is one plumbing emergency that every homeowner dreads, and it should only be attended to by a qualified plumber. The key to minimising damage after a burst pipe is to take action quickly and definitively as soon as you notice what has happened. It is wise to keep the number of a local plumbing expert close at hand, so an engineer can be dispatched as quickly as possible. The sooner an expert is on the scene, the sooner any flooding or water damage will be under control.
Why do pipes burst?
General ageing is the main reason that the surface of a pipe will become thinner and weaker to the point of bursting. Ageing, plus the constant pressure of the water flowing through the pipe, is enough to cause it to rupture. In some cases, tree roots may end up causing damage to the pipe. The roots will grow toward the nearest water source, and if that source happens to be an underground pipe, they can crowd the pipe and cause it to split open.
