Burst Pipe Repair in Rancho Cucamonga

You likely have a burst pipe because it’s winter and the temperatures have dipped. Freezing or close to freezing temperatures often result in burst pipes if the pipes are not properly insulated. You can avoid this problem by making sure your home is professionally winterized.

As water freezes inside the pipes, it expands. The constant expanding and contracting of the water will put too much pressure on the pipe and it will eventually burst. Severe clogging is another common reason pipes burst. An item that gets into the system will prevent normal water flow, weakening the overall structural integrity of the pipe. If enough debris fills the inner walls of the material, it will eventually expand and burst. This is avoidable with regular maintenance.
