Cold weather is often the culprit of burst pipes. When temperatures drop and rise very suddenly, this sometimes causes pipes to burst. The cold temperature causes the water to freeze and expand the pipes. This causes pressure build-up, which can split the pipe when too high. Owners of older homes are more likely to encounter burst pipes. Burst pipes can cause expensive damage to your property. If you suspect your pipes have burst, shut off your water and, if necessary, the electricity. You should then call a plumber. Costs will depend on location of the pipe and severity of damage. If there is a build-up of water, use buckets to remove as much as possible. Call a plumber to fully fix the issue.
