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.

My tech was professional, and the price was reasonable. Before the tech left, it appeared the problem was solved, however it turns out only part of it was. I reached out them immediately, and the tech returned the next day. He fixed all the problems on my initial complaint, found one more issue and addressed that, too. He spent a lot of time in my home, was very polite and competent. I will use Waterworks again.

Have always been pleased with Waterworks. They’ve done several jobs for us. Quick, friendly, good service for good prices that are always quoted ahead of time. Recent repair was under the kitchen sink. Came in, evaluated the problem, got materials from the truck, and had the job done in about an hour. Very satisfied.

My tenants did not have working water over the weekend and no vendors were available. Waterworks were able to come out on the same day and get the repairs and water turned back on within hours. Susan from dispatch is wonderful and techs Jeff Nick and Tommy were very communicative and got the job done. I would 1000% reccomend to anyone for after hours or over the weekend emergencies.

Called JonLe to fix furnace. Thermostat was calling for heat and fan was running, but no combustion. Technician arrived within 2 hr and identified problem as the inducer motor not working. It had seized. He was able to manually get it turning again and lubricated it to get it running. He recommended ordering a replacement because it would likely fail again. I agreed and he returned next day to install the new one. Furnace is working great. Have used JonLe for 20 yr as they installed the furnace when we built our house. Very satisfied with their service plan on my furnace and air conditioner. Happy to recommend them.
