What are common causes of a burst sewerage, water or stormwater pipe?
A burst pipe can become more than just an inconvenience – in some cases, it can cause extensive structural damage to a home. The most common causes of a burst water, stormwater and sewerage pipe are:
Blockages: A blockage stops the flow of water going through the pipes which generates a build-up of pressure in the pipelines. The pipes then expand and eventually rupture.
High water pressure: An indication that the water pressure is too high is if you hear banging from your pipes (called 'water hammer'). Pressure limiting valves may need to be installed.
Weakened pipes: Particularly, in older homes, if pipes have been unprotected, they may have corroded and weakened over time. Corrosion will cause the pipe to slowly thin and then burst at the weakest point due to pressure.
Tree roots: A common cause of burst pipes can be tree roots. All it takes is a small crack in the pipe for tree roots to find their way to the damp environment, thrive and expand, causing the pipe to burst.
The first thing to do when a pipe bursts is turn off the tap at the water main (usually located near the water meter in your front yard).
