Why Do Pipes Burst?
Several common issues that contribute to burst pipes in your home include:
- Freezing: If your pipes are exposed to cold, the water inside may freeze and expand. This puts extreme pressure on the inner pipe walls, eventually causing the pipe to rupture.
- Chemical drain cleaners: Using chemical drain cleaners will create weak spots in your pipes that will eventually create so much wear and tear that the pipe will burst.
- Clogged toilets: A clogged plumbing system will put excess pressure on your pipes. If these issues are left unchecked, the pipe may burst or rupture.
How to Handle a Burst Pipe
If you experience a burst pipe in your home, there are several steps you should take to ensure a quick and effective repair.

How to Prevent Them
The best way to prevent a burst pipe is by installing simple pipe insulation on your pipes. This material is available at almost any hardware store and simply slips over the pipe, insulating it from cold. It’s also recommended to seal any cracks or holes in your wall that may let cold air in.
Investing in regular drain cleaning and refraining from using chemical drain cleaners will also help keep your pipes in good order and prevent ruptures in the future.
