Top 7 Causes of Broken Water Pipes

Pipes break down for a number of reasons. Sometimes it can be avoided, other times it’s inevitable. Prepare for sewer line repair or replacement by knowing the most common reasons why pipes cause water damage.

1. Deterioration

Over time, all pipes will corrode and require replacement. This, however, should only happen after decades of constant usage. If you have a significantly older plumbing system, start planning to replace the pipes throughout your home.

Tip: Small leaks become big leaks fast. If you notice a tiny hole in the pipe, replace it right away.

2. Ice

Frozen pipes can cause a heap of damages once the ice has melted. This is especially true for pipes located in the attic or basement of your home. If temperatures drop 28°, it’s best to let your faucets keep a steady drip through the night.

3. Water Pressure

The water in the plumbing system of your home is first sent through a pressure regulator to manage the speed of the water flow. If the water pressure reaches 50 PSI or higher, it may damage or break your pipes. Do you notice low water pressure in your kitchen or bathroom?

This is a sign of a cracked or damaged pipe on your property. Our team of certified plumbers offer dependable sewer and water line repair services to homes in areas such as Jersey City, Westwood, Haverstraw, Newark, Sloatsburg, and Tom’s River. Our team has the tools necessary to fix your damaged pipes.

4. Age of the Water Pipes

Generally speaking, your home’s plumbing (brass, copper, cast iron) may last upwards of 50 years. If you have an older home, your pipes are likely original to your home. If this is the case, they are susceptible to separation, deterioration, and cracks. For water line repair, or to be sure your pipes are in good condition, get in touch with a trustworthy plumbing company.

5. Insufficient Maintenance

Similar to your car, your plumbing should have regular maintenance. Periodic services help each component run efficiently. Alternatively, insufficient maintenance may result in faulty or underperforming pipes.

6. Tree Roots

There’s not much we can do about mother nature, except monitor it. If a tree is growing near your home, you may want to contact a technician to make sure its roots are not in danger of breaking the underground pipes.

7. Mistakes

Operator error. From distracted contractors to unqualified homeowners doing DIY work, nore often than not, this is the reason why pipes in your home are broken or damaged. If you, or someone you know, is doing work around your home, be sure to locate your pipeline first. To avoid this hassle, contact HVAC professionals near you.

Signs Of a Sewer Backup

Backed-up sewage can be hazardous and alarming—not to mention gross. When your plumbing system isn’t functioning properly you may be tempted to ignore it and hope the problem goes away. Instead, review the list below and see if your situation aligns with one of these common signs of a backup.

Multiple Drains Are Clogged

Each of the drains in your home that are used frequently will become clogged eventually. If you notice several drains are clogged simultaneously, this is a sign of a sewer backup.

Our emergency plumbers provide exceptional water and sewer line repair services to homeowners in areas such as Sloatsburg, Newark, East Brunswick, Haverstraw, Jersey City, and Nyack. Our team will diagnose the source of the sewer backup and provide innovative solutions to restore your system.

Water Is Traveling to Other Drains

We’ve all seen this on television. Wastewater from a backed-up toilet will come out through the showerhead or sink. This is an obvious indication that your sewage needs to be serviced or a component within your plumbing requires replacement.

Water can also travel to other areas of your home. Water from a clogged washing machine may surface in the kitchen sink.

Excess Bubbles in Drains

When trapped air is attempting to escape through a clogged drain, it may result in bubbles.

Bubble Test: Fill your bathroom sink with water. As the water drains, look and listen for bubbles. If it makes bubbles, you likely have a blockage. You can also do this with your commode.

Toilet Is Not Flushing

If your system refuses to flush, most people immediately reach for the plunger. This, however, doesn’t solve the real issue. To resolve a toilet that doesn’t function as it should, contact a reputable plumbing company for immediate service.

Slow Draining

Slow draining may be an indicator of a sewer backup on your property. Typically, when wastewater has difficulty moving through your plumbing system, you have an issue with one of the lower drains in your home. Our plumbers offer comprehensive sewer line repair solutions and are available to help you fix slow or clogged drains in your kitchen or bathroom.

Strange Odors

No one wants a smelly drain. If your kitchens or bathrooms constantly emit foul odors, there may be something in your plumbing system.
