Burst pipes have the potential to cause a great deal of anxiety and even fear in unsuspecting homeowners. When you see water pouring into your living space or seeping through the walls and ceiling, a lot of unpleasant thoughts come to mind. You're concerned about water damage, cleanup, and repair costs all at once. One of the keys to minimizing damage and quickly getting someone to your home to take control is to partner with a high-quality emergency plumber.
Why Do Pipes Burst?
Cold temperatures are one of the most common causes of pipe bursts; when the water inside your pipes freezes, it expands beyond the capabilities of the pipe. Because it is outside and exposed to the elements, the hose bib is the most likely part of your piping system to freeze. The good news is that you can always rely on MB Plumbing for frozen outside hose bib replacement!
​
While frozen pipes are the most common cause of pipe bursts, regular aging and weakening of the pipes, combined with the water pressure flowing through them, can also cause pipes to burst. If you have trees on your property, the roots may grow toward the water source, creating enough pressure to split the pipe.
The Key to Damage Minimization
When you have a burst pipe, the key to minimizing water damage is to act quickly. This includes turning off the water at the main valve and contacting an emergency plumber. MB Pluming Techs can handle any plumbing emergency you may encounter.
Can I Avoid a Pipe Burst?
Frozen pipe prevention is much easier than dealing with a burst pipe, and while it is not always possible, there are some precautions you can take. During the winter, keeping your faucets running at a trickle can help keep the water in your pipes moving, making it less likely to freeze. Wrapping your pipes to help insulate them is another good way to keep them from freezing. You should also have your plumbing system inspected on a regular basis to ensure that the pipes are strong and in good working order.
