Frequently Asked Questions
Why do pipes burst?
Pipes burst when the water pressure inside causes the pipe to split. This is often due to the degradation of the pipe, with common causes that include:Â
- Rust and corrosion
- Old age
- Hard water
- High water pressure
- Broken seals and pipe joints
- Fixture cracks
Do I need to replace all of my pipes?
If your home’s piping system is unreliable or unsafe, you may need whole-home repiping. Signs this may be the right option include frequent leaks, water pressure issues, discolored water, or high water bills.
You may also consider whole-home repiping if your home’s plumbing system is over 50 years old or uses outdated materials like galvanized steel, lead, or polybutylene.
