Burst Pipe Repair in Katy, TX
It happens to the best of us: the weather turns cold, we forget to take preventative steps, and we end up with burst pipes.
While it rarely gets cold enough in Katy to create burst pipe problems, there are some days where the temperatures dip below freezing, especially in January. When that happens pipes can freeze, burst, and become an extremely expensive problem.
What are the signs of burst pipes?
Water pressure is one of the first signs of a problem; it can fluctuate wildly when you have burst pipes.
Another sign is the water itself gets contaminated. Look for brown water and the smell of rotten eggs. If you see either you've got a serious health and safety issue on your hands and need to get your pipes looked at right away. Signs of leaks, water damage, mold, and water marks also will show up when you have burst pipes. It means water is getting somewhere water isn't meant to go! That damage will not go away on its own. It will only grow and get worse unless it's addressed. Finally, your water bill can tell the tale. When you have a burst pipe you end up paying for water that's just leaking into the walls or into the ground. Nobody wants to pay for water they're not using: better to pay to fix the problem so that you can go back to enjoying a clean, reliable water source.
How do you prevent burst pipes?
The main thing is to take precautions in extreme temperatures. When summers are at their hottest pipes can burst due to heat extremes. Regular maintenance is the best way to prevent this problem. In the coldest months, disconnecting your hoses and insulating your spigots is usually precaution enough. Opening your cabinets to let warm air flow to your pipes or even letting a little water faucets running slowly can keep the lines from freezing.
We can also install heat tape on your behalf, which can prevent pipes from bursting.
