What Causes Pipes to Burst?
A number of things can cause a buildup of pressure in your pipes, which may lead to them bursting. Some of the most common culprits include:
Accidental damage
Sometimes user error is to blame for burst pipes. It’s easy for somebody to accidentally strike a water pipe while undergoing landscaping or home renovation tasks.
Clogs
The accumulation of grease, hair and other debris can clog up your pipes, which makes it harder for water to pass through. This causes pressure to build and increases the chance of a burst.
Extreme weather conditions
Things such as fluctuating temperatures, strong winds and heavy rains can cause pipes to quickly contract and expand, which causes the earth around them to shift. All of these factors put additional pressure on the pipes and can lead to bursts.
Tree roots
Nature is a powerful force. Tree roots that are in search of fresh sources of water may try to enter your pipes by wrapping around and tearing them apart.
