Got a burst pipe in Geelong or the surrounding areas? |

When there is a burst pipe this basically means the plumbing becomes unusable. Having a burst pipe can be extremely costly if it goes unnoticed. Burst pipes have the potential to cause a lot of damage. Once water is continuously flowing out of a burst pipe it doesn’t take long for the water to spread out of the bathroom or kitchen and onto carpets. If the water gets onto the carpet that is when a burst pipe can be an extremely expensive situation. For instance, once water is soaking through the carpet it can continue into the flooring which should never encounter large amounts of water. An internal burst pipe can even impact furniture and walls, so prompt action must be taken to minimize the damage.

Why do pipes burst?
There are many reasons for you to have burst pipes. This is dependent on the plumbing system, type of dwelling and age of the piping. Most commonly, wear and tear over time will weaken the structure of pipes. When the structure of a pipe has become weakened then it is only a matter of time when a crack forms from stress. Pipes must be able to handle a large amount of pressure and this is how older pipes can sometimes burst.
Common reasons for a pipe bursting:
Old Pipes - Not many materials last forever, we all can’t have our piping made of solid gold.
So if you live on an older property and the plumbing hasn’t been upgraded, these pipes are more susceptible to becoming a bursted pipe.
Pipe Leak - It may start out as being a simple leaking pipe. It does not take long for a little trickle of water coming out of a leaking pipe to become a more serious burst pipe.
Cold Pipes - During the winter months when the weather gets down to freezing, water inside the pipe can also freeze. When water is completely frozen it actually expands by 9%. This causes increased pressure on the structure of the pipe, potentially causing cracks and a burst pipe.
Vibrating Pipes - Older pipes will eventually have their connections loosen over time. This is why sometimes you notice pipes vibrating when you turn on the tap. This vibrating if left unchecked, can eventually create damage and lead to a burst pipe.
