Signs You Have Frozen and/or Burst Pipes
A frozen or burst pipe can wreak havoc on your home, but you may not even know you’re experiencing one unless you know all the signs. Here are some ways to tell you should reach out to us to see if you have a burst pipe leaking water and causing damage. We’ll be able to repair your broken pipe and restore the flow of water.
Your Water Isn’t Clear
If the water coming out of your pipes is any color other than clear, you likely have a problem. Burst pipes can be rusty, and that can lead to a reddish tint infiltrating your water. Dirt can also enter your water supply through cracks in the pipe, so you may see debris or a darkish color.
You Find Mold Growth In Your Home
A burst pipe can lead to an increase in moisture in your home. That increase in moisture can foster mold growth throughout your home, but especially near the rupture.
You’re Smelling Foul Odors From Your Plumbing
Pay attention to any strange smells coming from your pipes. A burst pipe may present with a mildewy odor due to the increase in moisture that is being added to your home in places that shouldn’t be getting damp.
Your Water Bill Has Suddenly Increased
If you haven’t been using more water lately but your water bills are getting more expensive, that could signal a leak due to a frozen and/or burst pipe in your home. Leaks lead to your plumbing system working extra hard to compensate and get water out of your faucets, and some of the water is lost through the broken area. Our team can pinpoint the location of the leak and repair it, restoring your plumbing system’s efficiency.
You See Water Marks On Ceilings and Walls
Since pipes are housed in the walls and ceilings of your home, a broken pipe and the corresponding leak can lead to the water seeping through your drywall and leaving stains. This is a clear symptom of a burst pipe that needs to be investigated.
You’re Experiencing a Decrease or Fluctuations In Water Pressure
Because less water is moving successfully through your plumbing system when you have a burst pipe leak, you’ll likely experience sudden or prolonged dips in your home’s water pressure when you’re washing your hands or taking a shower. If you notice this problem, contact a plumbing professional immediately.
What Causes Pipes To Burst?
Pipes can burst for a variety of reasons, and cause severe water damage that is a headache to deal with. By understanding the causes of burst pipes, you may be in a better position to prevent them before they occur. Burst pipes can happen due to:
- Becoming Frozen: This is one of the most commonly known reasons for a burst pipe. During freezing temperatures, the water inside of your plumbing system can freeze and become solid. When this happens, the pipe can burst as a result of the expansion of the water into ice.
- Becoming Clogged: Severe blockages in your plumbing system can create extra pressure in your pipes that can lead to it bursting.
- Increased Water Pressure: If your water pressure is too high, your pipes may experience undue strain. Once a pipe is weakened enough, it might rupture.
