Water pressure changes, which can be caused by storm surges, flooding, or physical damage can cause both new and old water pipes to leak, break, and severely damage your property.
Small leaks can go unnoticed for long periods and cause complete deterioration of the surrounding structure, while some broken pipes become damaged without notice and visibly ruin furniture, appliances, carpets, rugs, and personal items.
There are many different reasons why pipes inside a home or business can leak, break open, and cause major flooding and damage. The most common causes of broken pipes can include:
Unfortunately, the age of your pipes may lead to their failure. Older homes with outdated plumbing can easily become overwhelmed by corrosion, which can rapidly decrease the integrity of the pipe and cause it to break without notice.
Although corrosion often occurs in older pipes, the water quality in your area can lead to accelerated corrosion circumstances caused by a pH imbalance in the water. Hard water and galvanized iron pipes can lead to rusting that can physically damage the pipes or reduce the flow of water by narrowing the pipe, which can cause it to break.
Clogged pipes, sewer lines, and drains can cause water pressure to accumulate, which can result in ruptures or leaks to occur.
If water pipes are not secured, they may move around inside the walls when the water supply is suddenly turned on or off. As the pipes gradually move back and forth, they can weaken the joints in the pipe until it fails.
Heavy rains, storm surges, and hurricanes can place a lot of pressure on underground pipes by causing the ground to shift, which can rupture the pipes.
Although not incredibly common, tree roots and mature trees near the water lines may lead to broken pipes caused by blockages.
Water pressure can lead to a broken pipe or a failed plumbing fixture. As pressure increases, the pipes are unable to contain the water, causing a rupture.
Each home or business that suffers water damage from broken pipes will result in unique damages, and the costs associated with fixing or replacing the hardware and any damaged possessions will vary widely.
No matter how your pipes became broken, the resulting damage can be catastrophic and expensive.
The financial fallout caused by broken pipes will be dictated by the:
