Reasons why pipes burst

Reasons why pipes burst
Residential plumbing icon John G. Plumbing Drain and Sewer Cleaning

Polybutylene Pipes

At one point, homes were built with poly-b piping. This was a mistake.

Polybutylene pipes are brittle with an average lifespan of only 10-15 years. Plus, they are non-repairable. Other factors that result in pipe bursts, pinhole leaks, and cracks include pipe age, exposure to high amounts of chlorine, and other characteristics of water.

Freezing Weather

Your pipes are likely to burst during freezing temperatures. Water expansion within your pipes or through cracks can make your pipes fragile. Eventually, pipes can burst from these cracks, weak joints, and weak fittings. Pipes without proper insulation in attics, exterior walls, and garages are more prone to breakage.

Corrosion

Acidic water can cause burst pipes by slowly dissolving the pipe’s wall. This thins the pipe, making it more susceptible to breaking under pressure. Undersized pipes, electrolysis, and high velocity of water flow are common reasons that can cause your water pipes to fail. These factors trigger the occurrence of pinholes, leading to burst pipes.
