What Causes a Burst Pipe
Burst pipes rarely happen without a reason. Knowing the common causes can help you spot the warning signs before a small leak becomes a flood.
Freezing Temperatures
Water expands as it freezes, and that pressure can split a pipe from the inside - especially in lofts, garages and exterior walls.
Old or Corroded Pipework
Older metal pipework corrodes over time, weakening the pipe wall until it eventually fails under normal pressure.
High Water Pressure
Consistently high mains pressure puts extra strain on pipes and joints, increasing the risk of a sudden burst.
Ground Movement
Shifting or settling ground can stress underground pipework, particularly around older or shallow-laid supply pipes.
Physical Damage
Pipes can be accidentally damaged during building work, gardening or drilling into walls near hidden pipework.
Poor Original Installation
Pipework that wasn't properly supported or insulated when installed is more prone to movement, stress and eventual failure.
Frequently Asked Questions
What to Do if You Have a Burst Pipe
The first step is always to shut off the water at the stopcock - this limits the damage while you wait for an engineer. If it's safe to do so, switch off electrics near the affected area too.
Once you call us, we prioritise burst pipes as an emergency and aim to get an engineer to you fast, since every extra minute means more water damage to floors, walls and belongings.
After the immediate leak is stopped, we identify why the pipe failed - whether that's age, pressure or freezing - so we can fix it properly rather than leaving you exposed to a repeat burst.
Once the repair is complete, we check the surrounding pipework and pressure to make sure the same failure isn't likely to happen again nearby, rather than just patching the one spot.
