Burst pipes are a serious frustration for homeowners, leaving them without water and needing expert repair.

There are many causes of pipe bursts, chief among them freezing weather conditions that cause your pipes to freeze.

Frozen water will increase the pressure in the pipes; when this pressure becomes too great, the pipes will burst.

5 Tips on How to Prevent Pipes from Bursting

Other reasons for burst pipes include tree root encroachment, soil shifting, corrosion, high water pressure, and clogs.

In this blog post, we will look at how to prevent pipes from bursting, particularly when the colder weather rolls around.

1. Keep the Water Running

When the temperatures outside start to drop, one of the first things you should consider is turning on a couple of water faucets.

Running water through your home’s system will help to prevent the line from freezing over. A slow and steady flow of water is enough to keep your pipes from freezing in cold weather.

2. Leave Cabinets Doors Open

Your kitchen sink is most likely adjacent to an outside wall, so it’s a good idea to leave the cabinet doors open when the weather outside is freezing.

This will help warmer airflow in your cabinet, reducing the chance that pipes will freeze and burst.

3. Seal Leaks Allowing Cold Air In

Wherever pipes are located in your home, it’s important to check for any air leaks from features like dryer vents and electrical wiring.

Insulation or caulk will help to keep the cold air out and prevent your pipes from freezing.

4. Apply Heat Tape

Applying heat tape, also known as heat cable, to your pipes during cold weather is a simple step that can warm up your pipes and thaw any ice inside. Heat tape is affordable and works extremely well.

5. Contact a Plumbing Expert

If you are worried about your pipes bursting, a good idea is to be proactive and schedule regular maintenance by a plumbing expert.

As noted above, there is a range of reasons why your pipes could burst, from freezing to tree roots and clogs.

If your pipes have frozen, it’s important to call an expert plumber like Guerrero Plumbing, LLC, without delay.

A professional and experienced plumber will quickly diagnose the issue and prepare a customized solution plan.

How to Prevent Pipes from Bursting

Burst pipes are something that no homeowner wants to have to deal with. If your pipes have frozen due to cold weather, the pressure inside will likely grow until the pipes rupture.

The above tips are designed to protect your pipes from bursting, especially when the temperatures outside have dropped.

One of the best steps that you can take to prevent burst pipes is to work with an expert plumber and schedule maintenance to keep your home’s pipes in good working order.
