How do I know if a pipe is burst?
The most obvious sign of a burst pipe is a leak or rushing water. If the burst pipe is underground then you will not always be able to identify the leak. Some other signs that a pipe has burst include varying water pressure, strong odours, creaking and noisy pipes, and dirty water.
Why do pipes burst?
Cold temperature and frozen water is the main cause of burst pipes. During cold weather, the water in your pipes can freeze, this causes the water to expand and puts pressure on the pipe causing it to crack and burst.
