Common Causes of Burst Pipes

Burst pipes can happen for many reasons, but some of the most common causes include:

  • Freezing Temperatures – Water inside your pipes expands when it freezes, increasing pressure and causing pipes to crack or burst. This is especially common in uninsulated or outdoor pipes.
  • Aging & Corroded Pipes – Over time, pipes weaken due to rust, mineral buildup, and general wear, making them more prone to leaks and bursts.
  • Tree Root Intrusion & Ground Shifts – Tree roots can invade underground pipes, while soil movement from construction or natural shifts can cause pipes to crack or break.
  • Excessive Water Pressure – High water pressure puts unnecessary stress on pipes, leading to leaks and eventual bursts.

Understanding these risks can help prevent costly plumbing emergencies. 

How to Prevent Burst Pipes

Preventative maintenance is key to avoiding major water damage and expensive repairs. Here are some steps to reduce your risk of burst pipes:

  • Insulate Exposed Pipes – Use foam, rubber, or fiberglass insulation to protect pipes in basements, attics, crawl spaces, and garages.
  • Monitor Water Pressure – Install a pressure regulator to ensure safe water pressure levels.
  • Let Faucets Drip in Cold Weather – Running a small trickle of water prevents pipes from freezing.
  • Schedule Annual Plumbing Inspections – Routine maintenance helps catch small issues before they become emergencies.

Taking these proactive steps can help save thousands in potential water damage repairs. 

Our Process for Burst Pipe Repairs

At The Waterworks, we use advanced plumbing technology to detect, repair, and prevent burst pipe issues with minimal disruption. Depending on the location and severity of the burst, we offer:

Interior Pipe Repairs

For burst pipes inside walls, ceilings, or floors, our process includes:

  • Quickly locating and isolating the leak
  • Minimizing damage while accessing the affected area
  • Repairing or replacing the damaged section of the pipe
  • Guiding homeowners on restoring drywall or flooring if needed

Trenchless Pipe Repair (Underground Pipes)

If the burst pipe is underground, we use non-invasive methods such as:

  • Pipe lining – A durable, epoxy-coated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe to seal cracks and leaks without excavation.
  • Pipe bursting – A new pipe is pulled through the damaged one, replacing it without digging up your yard.

These modern solutions allow us to fix underground pipes without tearing up landscaping or driveways.

Full Pipe Replacement

For pipes that are beyond repair, we provide:

  • Complete pipe replacement using high-quality, long-lasting materials
  • Professional installation to prevent future plumbing failures
  • Minimal disruption to your home or business

Our goal is to restore your plumbing system quickly and efficiently while keeping repair costs reasonable.

We have been using JonLe for almost 40 years. We have never had a single problem with them. The office staff are always very friendly and helpful. The technician’s are always on time and very knowledgeable and respectful of your property. They will advise you have any issues and make suggestions to improve your heating and cooling systems but they are never a hard sell. They have been with us through 2 houses and now a condo. We always purchase the yearly maintenance package so they come once in the spring and again late fall or early winter. We wouldn’t think of going anywhere else. Thank you.

My intention was to have sent this email a few days ago, but it is only now that I have the opportunity to do so. I want to express my appreciation to Waterworks for the prompt response to our request for emergency services on Tuesday 1/27 and especially to Mat Ball, the technician who, despite weather conditions, made it to our home early that morning. Mat was knowledgeable and diligent and took care of the situation in a timely and professional manner. When the job was completed, he walked us through all that was needed to get it done. Many people take care of business, what sets Mat apart is the pleasant demeanor he exhibits while performing his responsibilities. Great Job, J.A.Mesquida

Had them do a water softener installation. Plumber who showed up at my house was very polite, personable, and efficient. Didn’t take him long at all to do the job, was even able to do things in a way that saved us about $400 off the original estimate. Would highly recommend this company for plumbing needs.
