Your Experts in Fixing Burst Pipes
A sudden rupture in your water line can catch you off guard, presenting an urgent plumbing crisis. In such events, it’s crucial to contact Mount Barker Plumbing promptly for expert assistance.
There are multiple reasons why pipes may fail, including:
- Age-related deterioration: As pipes age, they naturally wear down, increasing the risk of leaks or ruptures.
- Inadequate installation: If pipes are not installed properly, it can lead to weakened structural integrity and a higher chance of failure.
- Excessive water pressure: Pipes can also fail due to either a sudden spike or consistently high water pressure, which stresses the plumbing system.
- Severe weather conditions: Extremely cold temperatures can cause water to freeze and expand within the pipes, leading to potential bursts.
- Tree root intrusion: Roots can grow into the pipes, causing obstructions or even leading to pipe bursts.
Recognising these causes is essential for preventative measures and knowing when to seek the expertise of Mount Barker Plumbing to avert major issues.
Tell-Tale Signs of Burst Pipes
Before a major issue arises, your plumbing system often exhibits certain warning signs. These signs can be:
- An unexplained spike in your water bill.
- Decreased water pressure throughout your home.
- A noticeable rise in the reading on your water meter.
- Sounds of water flowing inside the walls.
- Continuous dripping sounds even when all faucets are closed.
Should you notice any of these symptoms in or around your house, it’s advisable to contact a skilled plumber from Mount Barker Plumbing immediately.
Why is Water Pressure So Important?
The water pressure in your home should be in the “Goldilocks” zone, just right – not too high or too low. Excessive water pressure can strain your water pipes, leading to leaks and, in extreme cases, pipe bursts.
It’s crucial to maintain normal water-pressure to ensure the longevity of your pipes and prevent future plumbing problems.
What to Do If You Suspect a Burst Pipe
If you think you might have a burst pipe, the key is to remain calm and follow these steps:
- Turn off the water: Quickly shut down the main water supply to stop any further flow of water.
- Contact Mount Barker Plumbing: Call our approachable team at Mount Barker Plumbing for urgent plumbing repairs. Our certified plumbers are prepared to tackle various plumbing emergencies, including burst pipes.
- Address water damage: Should there be considerable water damage, it’s wise to get in touch with a water damage restoration service once the plumbing issue is under control.
Prompt action and contacting a professional can significantly reduce the damage to your property and lessen the inconvenience.
