FAQs

What are the common causes of pipe bursts?

Common causes of pipe bursts include freezing temperatures, aging pipes, high water pressure, corrosion, shifting soil, tree root intrusion, and pipe blockages. Freezing expands water, while aging weakens pipes. High-pressure strain pipes and corrosion deteriorates material. Shifting soil and tree roots damage pipes, and blockages cause pressure buildup. Regular maintenance helps prevent bursts.

How can I winterize my plumbing system to prevent freezing and bursting?

To winterize your plumbing system and prevent freezing and bursting, insulate exposed pipes, seal any gaps or cracks, disconnect and drain outdoor hoses, close exterior faucets, and open indoor faucets to allow a slow drip. Set the thermostat to a consistent temperature, particularly at night. If you’re away, shut off the main water supply and consider using heat tape or a space heater near vulnerable pipes. Proper winterization will ensure your plumbing stays protected during cold weather.

How can I safely thaw a frozen pipe?

To safely thaw a frozen pipe, open faucets connected to the frozen line to relieve the pressure. Use a hairdryer, heat lamp, or hot towels wrapped around the pipe to gradually thaw the ice. Never use an open flame or electrical appliances near the pipe. If unsure, contact a professional plumber for assistance.
