Burst Water Pipe
A burst water pipe is one of the most common plumbing emergencies that homeowners face. Whether it’s caused by freezing temperatures, poor installation, or wear and tear, a burst pipe can lead to significant water damage, increased utility bills, and stressful situations if not addressed promptly. At 5 Points Plumbing & Gas, we specialise in handling all types of burst pipe issues, ensuring fast, reliable solutions for homeowners on the Gold Coast. A burst water pipe is an urgent problem that demands prompt action. Pipes can burst for several reasons, including:
-
Ageing pipes: Over time, pipes wear down, leading to weak spots that can rupture under pressure.
-
Freezing temperatures: Though less common on the Gold Coast, sudden cold spells can cause pipes to freeze and burst.
-
Poor installation: Improperly installed pipes may not withstand the pressure they are subjected to, resulting in leaks or bursts.
-
Water pressure fluctuations: Excessively high water pressure can stress pipes, causing them to fail.
-
Tree root invasion: Roots from nearby trees can infiltrate and damage pipes, eventually leading to bursts.
When a pipe bursts, water can rapidly flood your home, causing extensive damage to floors, walls, and personal property. The longer you wait to address the problem, the more damage can occur, and the costlier it becomes to fix.
