24/7 Expert Service for All Pipe Services
Freezing winters and humid summers can wreak havoc on your pipes over time. If they’re not checked regularly, you could face bigger problems. Pipes exposed to the frigid Syracuse weather can gradually get worse as they age. With enough pressure, these will eventually burst and it usually doesn’t happen overnight. They burst from long-term exposure to the frequent temperature changes that are common in New York.
How Can I Tell If One Of My Pipes Burst?
There are a few key things to keep an eye out for that will give you a good indicator of whether you have a
burst pipe or have a high risk for one.
- Strange sounds – Water flowing through damaged pipes tend to make extra noise. Call a licensed professional if you hear sounds that seem strange and not normal.
- Bad smells – Bad smells from your plumbing typically come from a buildup somewhere in your plumbing. Over time, the pressure can become too much for the pipes to handle and they can burst.
- Wet walls – If your walls are wet, a pipe is either leaking or burst and will continue to get worse until it is fixed.
If you are experiencing any of these issues, call our local plumbing techs right away before the issue gets any worse.
Cold Weather Can Damage Your Pipes
Temperatures frequently drop below freezing in New York. When they do, any pipes that are exposed and not insulated face a higher risk of bursting. Regardless of the type of pipe you have, the change in temperature can cause frequent swelling and shrinking of the pipes.
When the pipes are no longer able to handle the added pressure from the fluctuations, a burst is likely to happen to reduce the pressure. The water will damage everything near the actual pipe and continue to flow downwards, soaking everything else on its way. This flow of water can lead to structural damage as well as personal items. Our expert Syracuse technicians have the best tools and techniques to identify and fix any burst pipes properly in your home.
Summer Heat Can Cause Pipes To Burst As Well
Although burst pipes are far more common in winter, they can happen during the summer as well. Here are a few of the more common causes for burst pipes during the summer:
Severe Heat. When the weather gets hot, the land starts to dry. When a lack of rain accompanies the heat, your pipes could be in trouble. With normal heat and average rainfalls, the soil maintains a more hydrated, dense structure that pipes have trouble moving in. This is a good thing. When the ground starts to crack from lack of water and too much heat, the pipes can often move with them. The extra movement of pipes can cause one to burst.
Additional Water Supply. Summer weather brings summer activities. These include sprinklers, swimming pools, and various water games. The increased water flow can take a toll on pipes as they age, eventually leading to a burst pipe. While these aren’t common with today’s pipes, they still happen from time to time.
Syracuse Plumbers Can Help Stop Mold
With Plumbers 911, we have a vast network of contracted techs that allows us to maintain a fast emergency response time. This is especially important if you experience a burst pipe in your home. When a pipe burst, the water will continue to flow to its lowest point, which is usually the basement. Making sure to soak everything on the way to the basement, you’re likely to suffer structural damage if it’s not fixed.
With bad cases of structural damage from water, mold starts to grow. According to the
Center for Disease Control, mold causes quite a few health issues including:
- Stuffy nose
- Throat irritation
- Coughing
- Wheezing
- Eye irritation
- Skin rashes
Calling our 24/7 emergency services to get your burst pipe fixed is essential. This will greatly lower the risk of mold growing in your house.
