How to Prevent a Burst Pipe
Most burst pipe emergencies are the result of a pipe freezing and expanding, putting unnecessary pressure on the pipe walls. In time, the pipe will no longer be able to handle it and will burst. The best way to prevent this from happening is by installing inexpensive and simple pipe insulation. This can be purchased from any hardware store and is easy to slide on to exterior pipes or pipes that will be exposed to the cold. Another good idea is to seal off any cracks that may let cold in, as even the smallest hole can cause a pipe to freeze.
Main Causes of Water Leaks
A water leak can happen to anyone, but some of the main causes include:
- Corroded pipes: If your pipes or old or you often use chemical drain cleaner, your pipes may start to get thin and weak, leading to a leak.
- Roots: A root system will always look for water, even if it means growing through your pipes.
- Shifting ground: Once the ground around your home settles, it may cause the pipes shift and becoming disconnected, causing a leak.
- Clogged toilets: A toilet clogged by foreign objects, too much toilet paper or non water soluble items such as diapers can also cause leaks.

What Is Backflow?
Backflow is the reversal in the flow of water to a pipe. It can be caused by an interruption to the flow and cause serious contamination issues to your water. If you are experiencing backflow, your pipes may become contaminated with sewer water or chemicals from chemically treated water. It’s important to take backflow issues serious.
Call a Plumber If Your Water Heater Does This!
Most of us don’t think about our water heaters. We expect hot water every time we need it, day after day, and year after year. However, one day when you get in the shower expecting a warm, relaxing wash, you’re met with an icy-cold rain. Ugh! Paying attention to your water heater is key to knowing when it’s failing so you can have it repaired or replaced before disaster strikes. Here are five signs to be on the lookout for and when you need to call a professional plumber for help.
- Discolored Water: Is the water coming out of the spigot rusty or murky? If so, it could be because of mineral buildup.
- Weird Noises: Does your water tank make popping or gurgling noises? Sediment buildup over time causes this and can lead to a water heater failure.
- Lack of Hot Water: If the water isn’t as hot as it used to be or takes too long to get hot, it’s a sign the water heater is failing.
- Leaks: Look for water pooling around the base of your water tank. If you see moisture, call a professional right away.
- Age: Most water heaters last about 15 years, after which time they need replaced because failure is imminent.
If you’re not sure what state your water heater is in, call PlumbCrazy and ask one of our specialists for an inspection to make sure your water heater is in tip-top shape.
