Water Damage Burst Pipes

Water Damage Burst Pipe Restoration 

Temperatures in Toronto are dropping below freezing as winter approaches, causing frozen pipes all throughout the city. The water pipes are the component of our house that is most affected by the cold. As the water within expands, the strain on the pipes increases, causing pipe leaks. For many business owners, a burst pipe can be a major headache. 

Thousands of gallons of water can spill every hour from a broken pipe, causing significant water damage.

Standing water freezes inside cold exposed pipes. The frozen water expands, increasing the internal pressure of the pipe. The water level will rise to the point where the pipes will burst.

Another cause of a burst pipe problem is a “water hammer”, which occurs when unsecured pipes move, weakening the joints and allowing pressurized water to escape. Leaking or bursting can also be caused by corrosion and low water pressure.

The first thing you should do if your building has major warning signs of a water leak or if you notice signs of a burst water pipe is to turn off the main water supply.
