Busted Pipes
Learn to Prevent Flooding
Busted Pipes can lead to tremendous water damage. Broken Pipes often go unnoticed until it is too late, and the result is often a home flood.
During the coldest months of the year, pipes can freeze. As the pipes freezes, the water within them expands. It is this expansion of water that will crack the pipe. When the temperature increases, the water will flow out of the broken pipe.
This is is often the source of water damage in homes during the winter.
​
What Not To Do
If you discover that you have a frozen pipe, then you should not attempt to thaw it yourself. Often time people will use a hair dryer, or some kind of spot heater to thaw the frozen part of the pipe.
This can result in heating the pipe unevenly and developing hot spots. If hot enough, these hot spots can boiler the water in the pipes. This creates pressurized steam, which can in turn crack the pipe. Many times people attempting to thaw a pipe will be the reason the pipe resulted in a crack.
