Tree roots – Nature can come in between and cause burst pipes. The growth of the roots may lead to the direction of your water source at some point. Roots can wrap around your water pipes, which may result to bursting pipes.
Collapsed pipes – Changes in the soil may take place due to uncontrollable changes in the environment. Construction near your property may cause more weight pressure in your water pipes due to shifts in the soil. When these things happen, your pipes would likely burst.
Corrosion – Natural ageing of water pipes is another reason for bursting. Depreciation of quality in old steel materials will eventually take place. The best alternative of weakening materials is to replace your water pipes with new ones.
