Immediate Action After a Pipe Bursts
Turn off the main stop tap or the nearest suitable isolation valve as soon as it is safe to do so. Open a cold tap to relieve pressure and collect any remaining water where possible. If water is near electrical equipment, avoid contact and isolate the electricity only if this can be done safely.
The speed of the response can significantly reduce secondary damage. Even after the supply has been turned off, water trapped in tanks, pipes and upper floors may continue to escape for a period.
Why Pipes Burst
Freezing is a common cause because water expands as it turns to ice, placing pressure on the pipe. Pipes can also split through corrosion, excessive pressure, accidental damage, poor support or movement at a weak joint.
- Frozen or poorly insulated pipes
- Corrosion and age-related deterioration
- Excessive water pressure
- Accidental drilling or impact damage
- Poorly supported pipework
Repair and Prevention
A damaged section should normally be cut out and replaced using fittings suitable for the existing system. Once complete, the supply is restored gradually while the repair and surrounding joints are checked for leakage.
Where freezing caused the burst, exposed pipes may benefit from suitable insulation or rerouting. Bergin Plumbing And Heating will explain practical steps that can reduce the likelihood of the same problem recurring.
