Reasons You Have Corroded or Broken Water Pipes
Pipe damage can lead to a variety of plumbing repairs but where does the damage start? Some of the most common reasons why pipes break or become damaged include:
- Freezing or rapid temperature fluctuation: Freezing temperatures or temperature fluctuations can force pipes to warp or buckle. Water trapped within frozen pipes can cause them to burst.
- General corrosion: Pipes corrode for several reasons: If your water is overly acidic or hard, if your pipes are older, or they were installed incorrectly you will likely have some form of pipe corrosion. Rusty, corroded water pipes often sprout a small leak that expands into a larger leak.
- Aging: Pipes wear out and break down naturally over time, especially if they’re made of outdated materials like galvanized piping. Even copper pipes that last 50+ years eventually wear out and need to be replaced.
- Physical damage: The water rushing through pipes can wear on existing physical damage until tiny breaks widen and cause leaks or ruptures.
- High water pressure: If your home’s water pressure is too high, all that pressure could strain your pipes as water flows through them. If you have rattling pipes, it could be due to a water pressure issue.
- Improper installation: If your pipes were installed incorrectly, they will likely wear out sooner or can come undone from their fasteners and begin to leak.
- Low-quality material: Older homes may still use steel pipes or other substandard materials like iron or even lead. These materials are more fragile and wear out faster than their contemporary counterparts. A plumber can help identify what material your pipes are made of and recommend upgrades.
- Long term cracks: Hairline fractures that accumulate inside pipes as the result of stress can widen over time until they compromise the structural integrity of the pipe itself.
