Maybe it was pipe failure due to age, misuse, damage or even frozen- whatever it was, the water is here and it’s all over the place. It can be dramatic and it can destroy your property and keep you locked out for days, maybe weeks. Here are a few tips to help prevent a burst pipe:
Two tell-tale signs you may have a burst pipe can be damp patches on walls, ceilings, and floors or a loss of water pressure. It’s important to know where your shut-off valves are. The shut-off valve may look like a small lever or a faucet handle: you will have a main shut-off valve on your incoming water line and shut-off valves on each fixture. It is the off switch for your water system. If you suspect a burst pipe, close the stopcock fully and open the taps in your home to flush the water from the system.
Time can seem to really speed up when you see water dripping all over your property. If you’ve got a burst pipe, you need to act fast to minimize the damage. Stay calm, breathe… and follow these steps:
