What Causes Burst Water Pipes?

Common Questions About Burst Pipes
How do I know if I have a burst pipe?
Common signs you may have a leak or burst pipe include:
- Unexplained increases in your water bill
- Low water pressure
- Damp patches or water damage on walls or ceilings
- Mould growth
- The sound of running water when nothing is in use
If you notice one or more of these issues, you should call an experienced plumber as soon as possible.
What should I do while waiting for a plumber?
Turn off your water supply at the mains to limit further damage. If a pipe bursts near your hot water system, turn that off too. Acting fast can make a significant difference in limiting costly damage to your property.
How do I prevent my pipes from bursting?
We recommend:
- Regular plumbing inspections
- Monitoring your water meter for unusual usage
- Maintaining appropriate water pressure

These all help prevent future leaks. If you have issues with any of the above, our experienced plumbers can assess your system and recommend the right solution.
