What Causes Burst Pipes?

Burst pipes are so common because they can happen for a variety of reasons, including:

  • Clogs inside your pipes which have grown big enough that they block the flow of water, causing pressure to build up.
  • Old, worn-out pipes which need to be replaced.
  • Damage caused by the homeowner during remodeling, renovations, and landscaping.
  • Extreme weather, including heavy rainfall, strong winds, and earthquakes.
  • Tree roots growing into pipes in search for water.

Can You Avoid Burst Pipes?

Some plumbing issues are unavoidable, but being mindful about the items which get washed down your sinks, shower drains, and toilets can go a long way towards preventing the kinds of plumbing issues that can escalate into emergencies.

Some things to keep in mind are:

  • Watch what you wash down: Avoid washing large pieces of food, grease, and hair down the drain whenever possible.
  • Install mesh drain covers: These will guarantee that no large items make their way into your pipes.
  • Call for regular servicing: Annual maintenance on your piping system can help identify potential issues before they arise.

Trouble with Frozen Pipes? Call Cajun Maintenance for Frozen Pipe Repair

Frozen pipes wreak havoc on many homes. Without prompt repair, frozen pipes can burst and create a mess that can be quite costly to clean up. During cold periods, you need to watch out for clues that your pipes may be starting to freeze. Typical signs you may be having a problem include:

  • Little or no water coming out of the faucet.
  • A frost buildup on visible pipes and water lines.
  • Strange odors and sounds from your pipes.
  • Damp drywall.
  • Persistent plumbing issues.

While frozen pipes may cause a wide range of issues, pinpointing exactly where the freeze is can be a challenge, not to mention, most lines are hard to access. Here are a few tips to restore water flow to a frozen pipe:

  • Apply heat to the frozen pipe. Warm towels, a hairdryer, heating pad, or a space heater should work well.
  • Keep the faucet on while warming the pipes to allow the ice to thaw and trickle out.
  • Continue applying heat to the pipes until the water pressure is restored.

The best way to repair a frozen pipe is not to let it freeze in the first place. But if they do, call us today, and we’ll be there quickly to get you back in service.
