What Causes Burst Pipes?
This common plumbing emergency is typically caused by water freezing in your pipes. As the water freezes, it expands, putting a lot of extra pressure on the inner pipe walls. At a certain point, the pipe cannot handle the pressure and will rupture. In Minnesota, these issues are most common during the winter months when it can get frigid.
Other common causes for this type of plumbing emergency is weakened or deteriorated pipes. As your pipes age, they weaken and become more likely to burst. This process is sped up by the use of chemical drain cleaners that contain chemicals that weaken your pipes over time.
