Burst Pipes
The weather in South Carolina is usually mild during the winter months, but the South is famous for unpredictable weather patterns. If the colder temperatures do fall upon Georgetown, SC they can wreak havoc on your water pipes and may even cause them to burst.
There are a few precautions to take if you want to avoid burst or leaking pipes due to freezing weather. If a cold front does take hold in the community it can cause your pipes to break. Water expands as it turns to ice which puts more pressure on the pipes. If the ice builds up, it can exert enough force to crack the pipe and leave your plumbing in a disastrous state.
Common Causes of Burst Pipes
- Older pipes can become rusty and the material can erode causing systematic leaks throughout your plumbing. It’s vital to inspect your system every five to 10 years to ensure this doesn’t occur on your property.
- Continual use of chemical drain and pipe cleansers cause the pipes to wear out and can create vulnerable spots that may be prone to leaking. If these spots advance and spread throughout the pipes, thinning the metal out and bursting the plumbing.
- Clogged toilets and pipes place excess stress on plumbing. It’s important to remember that clogs create stress on the plumbing system and the pressure caused by the clog can force a pipe to burst.
- Keep drains and toilets free of diapers, feminine hygiene products, hair and food, this will reduce the need for chemical drain cleaners and help fortify the strength of the plumbing.
- During holidays and other times during the winter months when the property isn’t occupied keep the heating at a minimum warmth to avoid freezing the pipes. This will prevent freezing water and avoid creating pressure within the pipes.
