Burst or leaking pipes are among the most common plumbing problems homeowners face. While they might start as a minor inconvenience, these issues can quickly escalate into significant water damage, expensive repairs, and increased stress. At Dan’s Plumbing, we specialise in tackling these challenges head-on, ensuring your home stays safe and your plumbing operates as it should.
Common Causes of Burst and Leaking Pipes
Understanding what causes pipes to fail can help you prevent future issues:
- Ageing Pipes: Over time, pipes can degrade and weaken, which can make them more prone to leaks or bursts.
- Extreme Temperatures: Temperature fluctuations can cause pipes to expand and contract, leading to cracks or fractures over time.
- High Water Pressure: Excessive water pressure can strain your plumbing system, eventually causing pipes to give way.
- Blockages: Clogs in your pipes can create pressure build-ups that result in leaks or bursts.
Steps to Take When a Pipe Bursts
If you’re faced with a burst pipe, acting quickly is crucial to minimise damage. Follow these steps:
- Turn Off the Water: Locate your home’s main water valve and shut it off to stop the flow of water.
- Drain Your Pipes: Open all taps to empty the water from your plumbing system and reduce pressure.
- Switch Off Electricity: If water is near electrical appliances or outlets, turn off your power supply to avoid electrical hazards.
- Call Dan’s Plumbing: Our experienced team is ready to provide immediate assistance to resolve the issue.
