Many of our residents in Columbus, OH and the surrounding area relocated to our area to avoid harsh winters where freezing conditions could cause pipes to freeze, expand and crack. So, while not a serious problem in Ohio there are other causes of pipe failure, and our plumbers deal with burst pipes on a regular basis. For instance, some of the most common causes are:
Roots can create a great deal of pressure on underground pipe. As a result, as roots spread and underground pipe becomes old and more brittle, they become susceptible to cracking
⇒ Improperly Glued Fittings
Pipe can undergo stress at connection points if the fittings were improperly glued. And, if the ground settles or moves through erosion it can put stress on fittings causing them to break.
Water pressure can vary at different times based on water usage. Moreover, high water pressure will add stress to pipes and fittings and contributes to pipes cracking and bursting.
Chlorine is prevalent in our water systems. And depending on the type of pipe used in the construction of your home, chlorinated water can be detrimental to some kinds of pipe. Also, if pipe is left exposed to the sun prior to installation it can also weaken the pipe.
You should always use caution when using chemical drain cleaners. Because harsh chemicals can easily corrode and erode the walls of your pipes.
Should you notice that water is pooling in your yard, see a spike in your water bill, smell foul odors, see dampness in walls or ceilings or flooring, or experience gurgling toilets and drains or banging pipes you may have a burst pipe.
