What Causes Burst Pipes
Burst pipes are major plumbing emergencies. One way to prevent these from occurring is to be aware of some of their possible causes. These can include:
- Freezing temperatures: This can cause the water inside pipes to freeze and expand.
- Major clogs: This will cause water pressure to build-up and can eventually lead to pipes breaking.
- Aging pipes: Aging pipes can corrode and crack.
- Tree roots: Nearby tree roots can infiltrate your pipes and cause damage.
- Shift: A shift in the earth can cause pipes to break.
- Construction: A major construction project could have a tendency to damage pipes, causing them to burst.
Easy Ways To Prevent Clogged Drains
When you experience a clogged drain at your house or building, it’s important to remove the blockage as soon as possible to prevent potential water damage. There are some ways to prevent these clogs from forming in the first place, including:
- Don’t put leftover food down the kitchen drain. Instead, scrape it into the trash.
- If you need to dispose of grease, don’t put it down the drain. Instead, let it cool in a container and then throw it away.
- Avoid letting hair go down bathroom drains. Install screens over the bathtub and shower drain to collect it.
- Don’t flush anything other than sewage and toilet paper down the toilet.
- Schedule regular professional drain cleanings with a plumber.

Common Issues With Water Heaters
Like all appliances or systems in your household, occasionally your water heater will encounter issues that will require professional repairs. Some of these common problems can include:
- It’s not producing hot water: One of the most common issues with a unit can be if it is no longer producing hot water. This can be due to a failed pilot light or a damaged heating element.
- The unit is leaking: Depending on the severity of the leak, a plumber can determine if the system can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.
- The unit is making excess noise: Loud noises coming from the unit can be due to a damaged heating element or a buildup of sediment in the system.
- There are cracks in the system: Any cracks in the unit should be inspected by a professional to decide if the system can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.
