Why Pipes Burst
Burst pipes are common, particularly in freezing cold weather. Usually, they occur around bathtubs and showers, drains, sinks and toilets. Deterioration, rust, age and unregulated water pressure can result in burst pipes. Sometimes pipes burst where you can’t see them, under the floor, within the walls and even in the ceiling.
You might have a burst pipe if you find these telltale signs in your home:
- If you are in a colder climate, keeping on a slow running faucet to avoid freezing pipe.
- Seal any air leaks inside your home that let inside cold air.
- Insulate your home.
- Allow warm air to be directed into your home.
- Keep your outdoor hoses disconnected from the outside faucet.
If a pipe bursts, contact our locations in Kitchener & Waterloo. We’ll send a licensed plumber to your home immediately to resolve issue.
Leak Detection Experts
Sometimes leaks are obvious. You’ll find them around the toilet, faucets, garden hoses and water heater. However, some leaks are hidden behind walls, under the floor and ceiling. Leaks that are not visible are even more dangerous because the longer they go undetected the more damage they can cause.
Five steps you can take if you have a hidden leak are:
- Loose tiles and/or curling vinyl flooring
- Peeling paint and drywall
- Water stains on the ceiling or beams below
- Mold spots on the wall, floor or ceiling
- In the bathroom, look for standing water on the floor after you shower
