Signs of a Burst Pipe

A burst pipe can catch you by surprise, but you can save yourself from significant damage by being aware of the signs. Let’s look at the signs of a burst pipe.

• Water Damage

  Water spots or discoloration on the walls, ceilings, and flooring could signify a burst pipe. Another sign is if you notice soft spots on your walls or floors.

• Reduced Water Pressure

  If you notice a decrease in how much water comes out of your faucets, this could be caused by a blockage somewhere along the pipe. It could indicate that your pipes are deteriorating or have cracked and need repairs.

• Unusual Noise Coming from Pipes

  • • If you hear uncommon noises coming from your pipes, it could indicate a possible broken pipe that needs attention from a plumber.

  Whistling noises can occur when a pipe becomes dented and restricts water flow, leading to bursts and further damage.

  • Banging or clanking sounds usually stem from loose washers or worn parts, creating enough tension to cause leaks or holes. Bubbling noises can also indicate a broken pipe, mainly if air can’t escape when using a sink or flushing a toilet.

• • Increased Water Bills

    It could be a broken pipe if you’ve noticed a significant increase in your water bill without changing your water usage habits. It can occur even with small leaks that you may not have noticed. Combine this with previous physical signs such as discolored water or reduced water pressure, and it’s clear that it’s time to have a plumber assess your situation.

Common Causes of Burst Pipes

A burst pipe can result in costly damage by causing leaks and floods in your home. It can increase your water bill, and additional costs may arise as you repair the damage.

You should understand the common causes of such incidents to prevent pipes from bursting.

Some of the common reasons for burst pipes include the following:

• Corrosion

  One common cause of burst pipes is corrosion. This can occur when the water in your pipes becomes too acidic, eventually leading to holes and pipe degradation. The corrosion process can be accelerated by changes to your water supply, like introducing new plumbing fittings and fixtures. In some cases, an old and outdated plumbing system can also contribute to corrosion. Clogged drains, foreign objects such as tree roots, and pipe damage due to shifting soil can also lead to pipe corrosion.

• Old Pipes

  Older pipes tend to be more susceptible to bursting than newer ones. Over time, galvanized steel can rust and corrode, leading to eventual pipe failure. Sometimes, pipes may have been improperly installed or not up to code. Other times, the wrong material may have been used in the piping system.

• Excessive Water Pressure

  Having the water pressure in your home set to an appropriate level is essential. Too much pressure can place excess stress on your pipes, potentially leading to bursts.

• Freezing Temperatures

  Frozen pipes are a common problem during cold spells, although that’s not a common problem for West Palm Beach residents. When the temperature falls below freezing, the water inside pipes can freeze, causing it to expand and increase pressure. This pressure can cause pipes to burst, leading to potentially costly water damage. It’s recommended that you insulate pipes in unheated parts of your home to prevent freezing. If you suspect freezing pipes, turn off the main water supply and call Sansone Air Conditioning & Plumbing for immediate assistance.
