Cold winters and a burst pipe; only plumbers in London can be your saviour!

Facing a plumbing emergency like a burst pipe especially during the winter months is not uncommon in London. Due to the tendency of the pipes to shrink in the winters can cause them to crack eventually. Many times, a small fissure in the pipe can begin as a simple leak but might blow up if not taken care of it immediately. At London Gas Plumbers, we have listed down below, the possible causes of a burst pipe and its unpleasant consequences. Our office is manned with personnel 24/7 who alerts our emergency plumbing service team in London promptly to ensure the fastest response time.

What are the most common causes of Burst Pipes?

Dealing with burst pipes is easier said than done. The burst pipes can literally cause chaos depending on the severity of the leak. The episode of the bursting pipe can actually take place anywhere. Either a naive household or a serious office building can become the victim of the burst pipe emergency. The burst pipes, in fact, have the potential to disrupt the perfect work environment and turn it into a flooding river sending the expensive rugs, cherished souvenirs, and the entire tech equipment to the shambles.

The most common reason for the burst pipe is the cruel winter that causes the water to freeze in the pipe. As the water freezes, it expands. The most vulnerable points crack open resulting in a leak or flooding depending on the severity of the crevice.

Another cause for burst pipes is the regular wear and tear which is hard to predict. To avoid the burst pipe episode, you can have the pipes checked by a professional plumber in a timely manner. However, there’s no hard and fast rule that dictates the pipes replacement.

Having the insulation surrounding the pipes checked by the reputed plumbers in London, especially during the winter months can help in preventing the unwarranted mishaps.
